Rich Rodriguez To Michigan Fanboys: "Get A Life"
It's safe to say that the Rich Rodriguez Era at Michigan is not going as planned. (If you're a Michigan State or Ohio State fan, however, you're probably thinking that it could not have been planned better.)

Chinese Democracy, 15 Years Down, Five Days To Go
Of all the Guns 'N Roses stories, the "Rocket Queen" one is my favorite.

ESPN Extends BCS Nightmare By Ponying Up More Cash Than Fox
Since 2007 Fox has broadcast the BCS Games. Sure, this was a little awkward because Fox didn't carry college football on the network during the regular season, but it worked. Kind of. Now, ESPN has done what ESPN usually does — gone and outbid the competition for the rights. (Doesn't it kind of mak...
Jim Leyritz Will Soldier On Somehow
You no doubt recall the legal trouble facing Jim Leyritz, the former Yankee who is free on bail pending his DUI manslaughter trial.

George Karl Does Not Miss Allen Iverson
So how is that Allen Iverson for Chauncey Billups trade working out? Funny you should ask! The Nuggets are 5-1 since adding Billups. The Pistons are just 3-3 with A.I., but they did win three straight on the road and gave the Los Angeles Lakers their first loss of the season. So everyone's happy, ri...

Brian Cuban Would Like You To Know That His Brother Is Not Martha Stewart
Thanks for attempting to clear that up Brian, but I always thought it was obvious by the way Mark dresses. Black pullovers in the spring? Sheesh.
