It's that time of year again. Inside Lacrosse has once again blessed us with its annual all-name team, compiling a list of the preppiest-named lax bros in the country.

The Wizards Could Have Had James Harden, But The Wizards Are Not Allowed To Have Nice Things
Fresh off finishing 20-46 last year, the Wizards decided to take a somewhat unconventional route to respectability: Rather than completely (that is to say, intentionally) tanking, clearing the roster of onerous contracts, and rebuilding through the draft, they opted to take a "win now" approach, by ...

Paul Tagliabue Ruling: The NFL Doesn't Have A Bounty Problem; It Has A Roger Goodell Problem
When Roger Goodell appointed Paul Tagliabue to hear the Saints' bounty appeal, the players fought to get the ex-NFL commissioner to recuse himself.

Braylon Edwards Is Headed Back To The Jets, For Some Reason
Remember last week, when Braylon Edwards said some nasty things about the New York Jets' management when he took to Twitter to defend Mark Sanchez? I believe he referred to those "calling the shots" as "idiots." Surely, the Jets wouldn't want anything to do with a guy like that....
The Patriots Did Not Shut Down J.J. Watt Last Night
Reading what people have written about splendid Texans defensive end J.J. Watt from last night's Patriots romp, you'd think New England's line squashed Watt.

Root For Adrian Peterson, Because Football Is An Asshole
After running for 157 yards against the Bears on Sunday, Adrian Peterson is 506 yards away from breaking the single-season rushing record, something he told SI's Peter King that he is very serious about doing.
