SportsFilter: The Thursday 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.
The Yankees aren't for sale. Smoke, meet fire.

Robert Griffin III will be the first player in a major U.S. professional sport with Roman numerals on his jersey, thanks to a recent NFL rule change (and possibly his Adidas endorsement deal).

Seems like a branding and personal coup for Griffin to get the numerals allowed.
Can't wait to see what other players come up with in this department, now that the gates are open.
However, Griffin should remember that while individual recognition is nice, football is still a team sport.

Jets players chanted "Lolo! Lolo!" at Tim Tebow today.
She's got to stop talking about how "hard" it is in reference to virginity. I'm wearing out my smirk muscles.

The name Lolo Tebow had run through my mind yesterday. It has a kind of ring to it, I suppose.
But if those two ever got married, the complimentary playbook that would have to be sent up to the bridal suite would be thicker than a Grainger catalog.

Incompetence abound within the Phillies organization ... That's worse than not even honoring the guy.
