The Paterno Family Will Conduct Their Own Non-Biased Investigation
To the Paterno family, the Freeh Report was merely the scribblings of an Inquisitor, a series of "opinions and interpretations [presented] as if they were absolute facts."

Jay Bilas Still Wants To Talk About Men's Bodies
When Jay Bilas wasn't busy talking about "rims" he was busy talking about bodies. Last year it was all about hands, but this year the name of the game was "wingspan," "wingspan," and also "wingspan."

It's been almost two years since Jay Mariotti last wrote a sports column or appeared on ESPN.

Some Poor Bastard's Cell Phone Went Off During John Tortorella's Press Conference, And Torts Was Not Happy
John Tortorella's press conferences are the stuff of legend: tense, terse legend. At least from the media side, they're more amusing than hostile.
