Sam Houston State Held On To Beat Montana, But Not Without Taking Some Licks
Congratulations to Sam Houston State, who again proved worthy of their #1 ranking last night in beating Montana 31-28—earning the Bearkats a trip to the Division I national championship—but it was this play in which the Griz' senior defensive back Houston Roots blew up Bearkats WR Brandon Closner ...

Why We Don't Have Any Photos Of The Showers At Penn State
STATE COLLEGE, Pa.—Once the promised spectacle of Jerry Sandusky's scheduled hearing had fallen apart on Tuesday, what was there to do around State College, Pa., but try to get a look at the Nittany Lions' shower room? Dom and I wanted to photograph the scene of the most appallingly detailed of the ...

Parents: Mike Milbury Shook, Screamed At 12-Year-Old Player
Last Friday evening, two Boston-area youth hockey teams got together for their own Winter Classic, to be held outside at the Anderson Rink in Brookline.

Former Penn State Police Chief Testifies That PSU Administrator Never Told Him About 2002 Sandusky Shower Incident
One of the big questions in the Jerry Sandusky case is what the cops knew and when. The "cops" would be the Penn State University police. Those are the cops who investigated Sandusky in 1998 for alleged sexual misconduct. Nothing happened with that case because the district attorney at the time decl...
Oregon State Had A Pretty Reverse Alley-Oop Last Night
Oregon State forward Joe Burton is 6-7 and 280 pounds, and yet here he is, feeding Jared Cunningham from the top of the key for a beautiful alley-oop against Howard last night.

How A Senior League Hockey Fight Ended With One Player Pooping In An Opponent's Glove
Earlier today, the most intriguing athlete bio in the history of athlete bios made the rounds. Zung Nguyen, a 37-year old defenseman for a Boston-area men's hockey league, became an instant legend for this single sentence:...
Recalling The Time Bennie Blades Pulled A Bazooka Out Of His Car Trunk To Settle A Fight
Here's a nice, terrifying memory from Lomas Brown—the former NFL player who now says things on ESPN for money—regarding his former Detroit teammate Bennie Blades. Brown told Dan Le Batard and Le Batard's father today that Blades was the "craziest teammate" he ever had, and then shared this special...
How Our Jerry Sandusky Public Records Request Created A Quantum Singularity, Or Something
Are you bored? Would you like to have some fun with a public records request? I thought you might. To play this game, the first thing you need to know is that the public records law in Pennsylvania is flawed. It allows schools like Penn State that hoover up tax dollars to avoid public scrutiny. That...

Read Bill Simmons Before He Was The Sports Guy, From The <em>Boston Phoenix</em> Vault
The internet's not written in pencil, it's written in ink, or something. If you've spent your entire writing life online, it's likely that some Googlebot has crawled your pages, archiving every word you've ever written. But older writers who were young hacks shouldn't have to worry: their words were...
Here's The Bizarre Kristi Malzahn Interview Somebody's Trying To Sweep Off The Internet
We became aware of this a while ago, but seeing as how all public copies seem to have been swept off the web here's the wife of new Arkansas State head football coach Gus Malzahn acting very strangely at a church in Springdale, Ark. It is, alas, an edited version (sports agent John Phillips is tak...
David Stern Did The Right Thing With Chris Paul
That's a painful headline to write, and especially inconceivable after the histrionics that followed the NBA's veto of a deal that would have sent Chris Paul to the Lakers last week. It was a power trip, a violation of Dell Demps's autonomy, and maybe even an anti-trust violation: and as it turns ou...
Jerry Sandusky Has The Mental And Emotional Maturity Of A Teenager, According To Sandusky's New Lawyer
You've heard (an awful, awful lot) from Joe Amendola, the lead attorney for Jerry Sandusky's defense. Now you will hear from his co-counsel, Karl Rominger, who appeared on CNN to explain away Sandusky's disturbing Bob Costas interview last month with the following description of his client:...
NFL Players Hate Cris Collinsworth, Too
Sports Illustrated asked 237 NFL players to name their least favorite commentator. Collinsworth was No. 1, but the list consists almost entirely of ESPN and NBC guys, which makes sense—most players are spared the others since they're all at work on Sunday afternoons. The current players are especial...
