Snakkle catches up with Complex TV’s “The Drop” guys to find out what’s hot in athletic footwear. They break down the hottest new models of sneakers, so you know which line will be worth the wait. Snakkle knows of more than one “baller” celebrity who would probably rock these looks (LMFAO, anyone?), but would you?

How’s your fantasy football team doing? Hope you placed some bets on contender quarterbacks Johnny Manziel and Collin Klein, and linebacker Manti Te’o for the 2012 Heisman Trophy award! Started in 1935 by the Downtown Athletics Club of Manhattan, New York (John Heisman was the athletics director at the time), the Heisman Trophy has become the holy grail of collegiate football players. It is awarded to the most outstanding player in the nation, which is saying a lot! Whether you’re biting your nails or running stats numbers, it’s going to be a close one with this year’s talented bunch. Here is a look at another group of iconic football stars… but way before they were Heisman winners, when dreams of going pro were still just dreams.

The past 2012 NFL season got off to a shaky start when the replacement referees (brought in while the NFL negotiated with the usual starters) made some highly controversial (read: wrong) calls. And in 2013, two brothers go head to head, coaching the two playoff winners: The Ravens and 49ers. And both have their eyes on that coveted Superbowl title—what are the odds of that? Check out some of these NFL big shots—and a few future Hall of Famers—before they were stars…

For the past 14 seasons, we’ve watched them shake and sashay their sequins around the dance floor. Now, 13 past contestants—including six previous winners, two Olympic champions, two boy-banders, and a football legend—are back to compete once again for the mirror-ball trophy. Here are some of our favorites; who do you think will win Dancing with the Stars: All Stars (premiering Monday, September 24, at 8 p.m. ET)?

Grab your band uniform and start practicing your comebacks, because school is back in session. You might be surprised at some of the A-listers who suffered the wrath of mean girls and bullies, but the teasing they survived may be part of the secret to their success.

“Goodbye, England’s Rose,” sang Elton John at the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales, while the world watched with tears and empathy. On August 31, 1997, we lost the People’s Princess in a tragic, paparazzi-fueled car chase through the streets of Paris. Fate has taken a number of other much-missed public figures before their time; now we’re celebrating the life of England’s Rose and 12 other celebrities lost to tragedy.

From Bruce Jenner trading in his man card by appearing regularly on Keeping Up with the Kardashians to multiple former Olympians trading in their Team USA jerseys for sequins and sparkles on Dancing with the Stars, Snakkle takes a look at former Olympians who have gone on to star in reality shows.

The whole world is watching. And although the 2012 Summer Games in London haven’t been without their share of controversy, there have also been tremendous moments of sportsmanship, personal triumph, and breathtaking performances. Take a look at some of Team USA’s shining stars before they were stars…

They say baseball is America’s pastime. (We don’t know who “they” are either. Sorry. We’re working on it.) The MLB All-Star Game (July 10 in Kansas City—watch it on FOX) marks the middle of a long season for the boys of summer. For us, it’s a good excuse to play a game of “Who Am I?” with some of your favorite players that were voted by the fans to represent their teams on the diamond. Can you guess who’s who? Check out these pics to find out!

The song wouldn’t have been quite so ironic, though. Most fathers would love to see their sons follow in their footsteps, especially if those footsteps lead to the field of professional sports. Here are some of our favorite father and son athlete combos.
