This is a big deal, you guys, because nobody has nabbed two national figure skating titles in a row… since Michelle Kwan in 2005!!

When it comes to being married to a public figure, Linda Hogan has some real experience.

Though her husband rarely lost at his sport, she still knows there's an etiquette to being an athlete's wife.

Ray Lewis and the Baltimore Ravens just beat Wes Welker and the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game on Sunday.

Afterwards, as we previously mentioned, Wes's wife, Anna Burns Welker, took out her frustration on Ray Lewis by blasting him on her Facebook page.

Anna has already apologized after all the backlash but her whole shade throwing incident was "way uncool" according to Linda.

Brent Musburger is a sportscaster for ESPN and ABC.

While covering the 2013 BCS National Championship Game on TV, the cameraman cut to a shot of Katherine Webb.

Katherine is a model and beauty queen, Miss Alabama 2012 and dating Alabama's quarterback A.J. McCarron, who was playing in the game.

When she appeared on the screen, Musburger couldn't help but mention she was A.J.'s girlfriend, called her "beautiful" and a "lovely lady."

There was some backlash and ESPN quickly apologized for Musburger's comments, but Katherine herself didn't think an apology was necessary and was actually flattered!

Check out Katherine on the TODAY Show, explaining how she feels ESPN may have overreacted AFTER THE JUMP!!

After a less than stellar season, 6-10, the New York Jets have fired their general manager, Mike Tannenbaum!

The Jets' coach Rex Ryan just dodged a bullet and will remain the head coach.

Tannenbaum was on the chopping block mainly because of some weak drafts and bad decisions when it came to contracts for Mark Sanchez and Santonio Holmes.

Also for that whole Tim Tebow thing. LOLz!
