Bobby Knight Unlocks Another Mystery
Bobby Knight sure has been chatty since breaking the all-time NCAA men's win mark. Here's his take on the whole Bill Parcells situation in Dallas.

The Smoking Gun just posted an amusing report about a St. Louis athlete being extorted for supposedly impregnating some guy's daughter. (Those are usually who are impregnated.) The code name for the player is "P.A."...
Deadspin Field Trip: Our Battle With Slash And Bad Moon
Last year around this time, thanks to a promotion for that "Pros Vs. Joes" show on Spike that no one we know watches, we strapped on a helmet and batted against John Rocker. That trip worked out so well for everybody that they asked us if we'd be interested in heading to Grand Central Station in New...
And Watch ... As You All Turn To Stone
Yes, yes, Lane Kiffin is the youngest coach in football (and somehow looks even younger in this photo), but in case you were wondering who's still, and always, in charge in Oakland ... why, it's the gnarled ogre that is Al Davis. Tell 'em Large Marge sent ya!...

Those four are part of the cast for the new season of Pros vs. Joes on SpikeTV....
Update On The Dakar Death March Rally
It might be because I don't understand all the subtle nuances of motorcycle racing, but I can't imagine getting psyched up for a yearly sporting event at the end of which you know you'll be mourning someone's death. The Dakar Rally is an off-road endurance race that today claimed the life of a Frenc...
This Vagenas Is The Only One Not Looking Forward To Beckham's Entry
Not everyone in Los Angeles is thrilled about the impending arrival of David Beckham.

The gang over at honoring him with a day's full of posts, and if anybody knows Ali — and that he had nothing to do with the invention of rap — it's those guys....
