When Kevin Harvick won last week at Texas Motor Speedway, he thought he had punched his ticket to the Final Four of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. Instead the 42-year-old veteran driver of the Stewart-Haas Racing Team was the one who got hit with a major penalty, and now, like […]

Do the New Orleans Saints believe former Dallas Cowboy receiver Dez Bryant make them a Super Bowl contender? They do, and so do oddsmakers, who quickly updated the championship game lines, moving the Saints from 16/1 to 7/2 once news broke he was joining the team. They are now only […]
