Why We Don't Have Any Photos Of The Showers At Penn State
STATE COLLEGE, Pa.—Once the promised spectacle of Jerry Sandusky's scheduled hearing had fallen apart on Tuesday, what was there to do around State College, Pa., but try to get a look at the Nittany Lions' shower room?

Somebody Doesn't Like Rich Eisen
Rich Eisen is a consumate professional (if occasionally flirty on the email) so we can't fathom why somebody would chuck garbage at him while doing a live shot before halftime of the miserable Thursday Night Football game in Atlanta.

Recalling The Time Bennie Blades Pulled A Bazooka Out Of His Car Trunk To Settle A Fight

NFL Players Hate Cris Collinsworth, Too
Sports Illustrated asked 237 NFL players to name their least favorite commentator.
