The Loves Of Derek Jeter
The enterprising folks at Yankees Critic have put together a not-quite-comprehensive-but-still-entertaining rundown of all of Derek Jeter's ladies. They even provide a lineup and scorecard, though the middle of the lineup is a little empty. Jordana Brewster leads off, followed by Lara Dutta, Vane...

ESPN Apologizes For Cockfighting Story, But Isn't Sure Why
So, this is intersting. A few weeks back, Mike Ogle, a freelance reporter for ESPN Page 2 (and, when they deign to publish, Page 3), wrote a story about cockfighting in Guam. We'd link to the story, but ESPN has already taken it off the Web site. And this is where it gets interesting....

F1 CEO Proves To Best Cro-Magnon Boss In The Business
Until about a week ago, you'd probably never heard of Bernie Ecclestone.
