SportsFilter: The Tuesday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
Luck, Griffin, Richardson lead Heisman finalists and Matt Barkley shafted again by the wrongdoings of others.

Long-time SpoFi member, chicobangs (check out the member #), will be appearing on Jeopardy tomorrow night. It's been three years since he last showed up around here, but I'll still be rooting for him.

Do you know what his name is grum? I watch Jeopardy every day so I'll definitely check it out.

Given how frequently we see the negative side of sports stardom, this is a nice counterpoint: Ryan Howard Makes A $1.2 Million Donation To The Philly School District.
The donation will benefit athletic programs at 57 (!!) high schools throughout the district and includes Adidas apparel and shoes to match each school's official colors.

If Chico/Tony is reading this, all I can say is:
"Billabong you idiot!"
/Good luck, mate.
