Stoops appeared on "SportsCenter" on Tuesday and said he saw the tornado, which was a mile away from his home, from the back window of his home.

Real NFL Odds: Only 4.1% Chance of Broncos-49ers Super Bowl

MGM has announced that the Denver Broncos and San Francisco 49ers are the two most likely teams to win the Super Bowl next year, both with 5-to-1 odds. In theory that means each team has a 16.7% chance of winning the title.

Silver's Table Wrong: Super Rich Support Obama

Frank VanderSloot was one of 16 million-dollar Romney donors identified by Rolling Stone, and now Nate Silver writes that the fact that there is no statistical evidence that the IRS audit of VanderSloot indicates he was targeted. At first glance there is only a 1.11 percent chance of an individual being audited by the IRS, which would indicate that there is only a 17.76 percent chance one of those 16 would be audited, contrary to the table Silver published in the New York Times. by John Pudner 21 May 2013, 5:28 AM PDT

WSJ Columnist Labels Obama 'President Asterisk'

Comparing the unfair advantage of the IRS's targeting conservative groups to professional athletes taking illegal steroids, James Taranto of the Wall Street Journal believes Barack Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign deserves the mark frequently associated with sports's most dubious record breakers: the asterisk.

LeBron Has Less than 70% Chance of Winning 2nd Title

If you want to put down $21 on LeBron James claiming his second NBA title this year, you can win $5 back for your risk. The 5-to-21 published odds would indicate that the Heat has an 80.8 percent chance of the title, but that really means they give him less than a 70 percent chance. After predicting he would win multiple titles when he signed with the Heat, James, who is clearly the best player on the team, has always had the pressure on him those multiple championships. by John Pudner 20 May 2013

Sports Fans Must Show More Respect for National Anthem

It takes just about two minutes to perform. Sometimes a little longer. Sometimes a bit shorter. It is The Star-Spangled Banner, our national anthem. Yet, even though this song that represents so much is quite short, for whatever reason some people just can't stand still and shut their mouths for 120 seconds to honor the greatest nation ever known to man. The best advice, though, is very simple. Stand up, put your hand on your heart, look at our beautiful flag for two minutes, and remember all of those who sacrificed for our precious freedom. Thank God for all the parents out there who are teaching their children to do just that. Now maybe they can work on their neighbors, co-workers, and fellow fans. by Kevin Scholla 20 May 2013

Duke, Denver, Cornell, Syracuse Advance After Wild, Nail-Biting LAX Quarterfinals

If the NCAA Lacrosse semi-finals and championship are anything like this weekend’s quarterfinals, they will have to find a bigger venue to play next year to hold all the new fans. With three of the four games tweaking the nail-biter meter deep into the red, the match-ups could not have been scripted any better. Big on drama and suspense, these games all came down to the wire, had fans on pins and needles, and the winner decided with only seconds left. by Dan Fleuette 20 May 2013

Greg Oden Looking to Make Comeback

Greg Oden was supposed to take the NBA by storm as a dominant big man in a league that has been lacking in stellar center play following the era of Robinson, Olajuwon, Ewing, Mourning, and O'Neal. However, his career was derailed before it even began, and his 82 games over the course of a career that spanned from 2007 to 2012 is just enough to make for one whole season on the hardwood. by Cole Muzio 20 May 2013

David Beckham Respected Globally Because of Working Class Roots

Beckham, the man with a high-pitched voice who was less naturally talented than many of the game's elite players, became one of the biggest global superstars with much more of an influence and reach than mega icons like Tiger Woods or current living legends of the beautiful game like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Beckham was simply a working class kid who married a pop star and willed himself to greatness. by Tony Lee 19 May 2013

Brother: Dick Trickle May Have Killed Himself Because of Mysterious Chest Pains Doctors Could Not Diagnose

Dick Trickle's brother believes the racing legend may have taken his own life because he could not tolerate the severe and mysterious chest pains doctors could not diagnose. "With all the technology in the world, there is no way in the world they shouldn't find this [cause for the pain]," Chuck said. "He had so many MRIs and CT scans that he said 'My skin is hurting.'" Said Ray Everham, "He raced the way he wanted to race ... He came up with that one hour sleep for every hundred miles. He partied hard. He raced hard. He did nothing his whole life but race and help people that raced. He lived for it. His life was racing. He didn't conform. He didn't worry about all the other things. He lived on his terms." by Breitbart Sports 18 May 2013

Documentary an Ode to NYC Playground Basketball

Half-moon hoops, double rims, chain-linked fences for out-of-bounds lines and no net that anyone can recall. Such is the imperfect urban landscape of playground basketball, what many consider the truest expression of the sport. It's basketball without referees, coaches or sneaker deals. Anyone can play, so long as they call "Next." from AP 18 May 2013

Orb Favored to Take Preakness for Chance at Triple Crown

Orb is ready for his whirl at history. The Kentucky Derby winner was in a playful mood the day before the Preakness, making faces for photographers between nibbles of grass outside his stall at Pimlico Race Course. If he can defeat eight rivals in the 1 3-16-mile Preakness on Saturday, it would set up a Triple Crown try in the Belmont Stakes in three weeks. Orb is the even-money favorite, and there's a growing feeling that this 3-year-old bay colt may be special enough to give thoroughbred racing its first Triple Crown champion since Affirmed in 1978. from AP 18 May 2013
