Why Peyton should go to Arizona: The football folk will probably discuss other things, but non-football issues may come into play.

Hopefully, Ausmus will motivate the Tigers in ways that Leyland did not, or maybe could not.
Like YYM, I was quietly pushing for LaRussa. But I knew there was as much chance as Bill Cowher coming to manage MLB.

it would have to be called an official's oversight in this case
A top-ranked golfer, a pro for many years, suddenly does not know the drop rule? The penalty that he was ultimately assessed seems secondary here. If he was confused, why didn't he err on the side of caution instead of giving himself a better lie with an illegal drop?

And then, there are the most atrocious contracts in the NBA

Christianity, kids, multiple wives, Ray Lewis, murders...this sounds like a pre-Super Bowl story by a tired media looking for anything to write two days before the SB.

I'm just glad we'll never have to hear any more of the bogus comparisons of Tom Brady to Joe Montana.
So they'll compare Flacco and Kaepernick to Brady, other quarterbacks and the ghosts of QBs past. Got to fill up the news holes with something.

"perfect knight"
posted by roberts at 09:57 AM on January 20, 2013
Baseball's "perfect night" was an excellent example of why kids look up to athletes as role models. And why adults remember many of those athletes with awe.

Even Jack Nicholson, that stalwart Lakers fan, had enough of the team.

It's like they were waiting for the season to be called off, then they could fire Burke before the start of the new season later this year. Suddenly this season was to start in a matter of days. So as they wanted to get rid of him before the season started...

Hope it's true, but I'll believe it when the first puck is dropped. At this point, Bettman's word does not carry a lot of credibility.

The Big 10 might as well mail it in instead of showing up for Bowl games. That's how they play them anyway.

"We are not where we want to be, and a new general manager will be critical to getting this team back on the right track," Johnson said in his statement.
So Johnson plans to get the Jets on the right track but at the same time hold on to Ryan?
Talk about an oxymoron. Or maybe just a moron.

LeBron James Returning to Cleveland
Can't blame the Cleveland fans for taking off on James when he left four years ago. They saw the city's championship drought continuing.
But winning cures everything in sports. James certainly has not yet brought Cleveland a championship. But now the fans welcome James back because he gives them the closest thing yet in terms of hope for a championship.
