Turns out New York is one of the most successful states when it comes to winning Olympic games.

The largest chapter of the Special Olympics New York needs your help to make sure the Fall Games go off without a hitch.

The largest chapter of the Special Olympics needs your help to make sure the Fall Games go off without a hitch. The Special Olympics New York Fall Games are being held in Glens Falls and are slated, to begin with, opening ceremonies this Friday, October 22nd. But they are in need of volunteers.

If the NFL season started this week, fans wouldn't be allowed to attend not only in the stands but not even in the parking lots.

I'm sure you've heard what really goes down at the Olympic Village!  There's a reputation that the athletes at the Olympics have a lot of sex with... each other.  But, 42 condoms each, that's insane!  Or is it!? Brazil is planning to have 450,000 condoms available at the Summer Olympics in a few months...
