Hop On Back Of The Bobby Petrino Apology Tour, Which Begins Today
It's been just under four months since Arkansas fired Bobby Petrino for hiring his young girlfriend to an athletics department position, paying her extra under the table, and lying about it.

Jamie Ramsey is the Reds' assistant director of media relations, and he's very protective of his team, like any good p.r. person.

France Stunned Spain With A Handball Quarterfinal Buzzer-Beater
Handball's been a bit of a breakout sport for American audiences, though today's quarterfinal between reigning gold medalist France and Spain wasn't aired live in the U.S..

Latest Baseball Movie Is Really Just Another Baseball Movie
Not to be all get-off-my-lawn about it, but sports movies are just not as good as they used to be, right? They kind of suck these days? Moneyball was just OK.

Ryan Lochte Update: Ryan Lochte Is Hanging Out With Ludacris At The USA-Argentina Game
Here's a photo of Ryan Lochte watching Team USA square off against Argentina (where the referees seem to have placed their chips on "untimely player death" and Team USA is dominating) with famous American rapper/star of 2 Fast 2 Furious Chris "Ludacris" Bridges.
