TNA Turning Point 2010 - Moments ago at TNA Turning Point, former WWE Divas and current TNA Knockouts Mickie James and Tara faced off in a match that made it’s way all around the Impact Zone and was eventually ruled a no contest by the referee. Shortly after it began, the match spilled out of the ring and into the crowd. After being shoved into a wall, the referee threw out the match as a double disqualification.

Mr. Bloomberg on Sunday was at the New York City Marathon, where he and Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly held the tape as the winners crossed the finish lin...

Jacoby Ford Performs - Rookie Jacoby Ford hauled in six passes for 148 yards to lead the Raiders to a 23-20 overtime victory over the Chiefs in Week 9. It doesn't get much better as far as breakout games go. Ford opened the second half with a 94-yard kickoff return TD, made a desperation circus catch over shutdown corner Brandon Flowers to set up the game-tying field goal, and burned Flowers in overtime to set up the game-winner. Along the way, Ford also hauled in a bomb after slipping to his knees. Play-caller Hue Jackson gained confidence in the rookie throughout the game. It's quite possible that Ford could emerge as the Raiders' top receiver after the Week 10 bye. Jacoby Ford Performs
