Dan Snyder And Mike Shanahan Fly To Waco, Immediately Go To Hooters
Today is Baylor's pro day, when Robert Griffin III (and some saps who aren't RGIII) will showcase their wares for any scouts who want to come watch.

ESPN Has Found Its Answer To Problems Like Bruce Feldman And His Book
From the network that never lets its business interests interfere with its coverage: "Of note is that ESPN, as a matter of policy, will no longer grant permission to write as-told-to books with sports personalities." It's a conflict of interest, you see. Except when it isn't. [Front Row]...

The Lead Singer Of Iron Maiden Will Fly Folks Stranded By The Hurricane To Iceland
One thing I've learned, as I've slumped into adulthood, is that you may have dear friends, but none of them are as reliable as aging English rock stars. Such as Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson, who will do a nice thing for a bunch of Icelanders stranded in New York by Hurricane Irene....
Banished From The NCAA, Bruce Pearl Will Now Sell You Groceries
With good reason, no one's letting former Tennessee Vols coach Bruce Pearl anywhere near a basketball court anytime soon. (He's been confined to barbecues instead.) He had a bad season, and he broke NCAA rules, so Tennessee fired him. Then Pearl received a three-year banishment from college basketba...
