Richie Sexson Understands The Value Of A Dollar
We couldn't let the day pass without mentioning Mariners "slugger" Richie Sexson's charming comments from yesterday. They're not as bad as Stuart Scott's "Don't boo" admonitions, but, well, they're close....
Keith Van Horn Has A Nice Gig, If You Can Get It
After the Jason Kidd trade finally went down — Mark Cuban says "this deal will have impact!" — the one question everyone had was ... Keith Van Horn's still playing? No, he isn't, which you probably know by now; he just never filed the papers. And now he's even richer than he was before....
Only Devean George Understands The Power He Wields

French Bulldog Wins At Westminster, Later Shoots It Out With Cops
How often do we get the opportunity to mention Patricia Hearst, Jimmy Carter and the Westminster Kennel Club dog show in the same post? Very rarely.

Yeah, Well, Kelvin Sampson's Still A Jerk
We couldn't possibly agree more with legendary Illini basketball reporter Mark Tupper, who said, "at no time did I think Illinois was going to win that very exciting, very emotional basketball game with Indiana." It was exciting, and we had hope, and we leapt across the room with Jeffrey Jordan hit ...
Colts Fans Have Absolutely No Cajones
Here's the situation: Four amounts left on the board on the game show Deal or No Deal (NFL Edition!). One is for $1 million, and the other three are for $10,000 or less. What amount does your case hold? George Barnes here can sell his case for $189,000 — but if he does, he'll lose out on the million...
Help The Nailers Shred Rich Rodriguez
West Virginia knows how to throw a minor league promotion; something that Rich Rodriguez should have considered before he bolted to Michigan.

ESPN Controls All Your Cricket Coverage Too
OK, so this is a cricket story, and it's kind of complicated, so bare with us. Essentially, Indian cricket player Harbhajan Singh is accused of calling Australia player Andrew Symonds a "monkey," and the Australians, less than pleased, drew charges against Singh for the remark. (It's summed up well ...

We've asked a couple excellent writers who are fans of each Super Bowl team to talk about where their team stands going into next week's "Big" "Game." Last week brought us Peter Schrager from FoxSports.com opining on his Giants. Today it's Eric Gillin of Esquire.com on the Patriots. Enjoy....
The 2000 Washington Huskies Were Horrible People
If you haven't had a chance yet to dive into the Seattle Times amazing — and ongoing — investigation into the 2000 Washington Huskies, please do so right now. Today's section is about strong safety Curtis Williams — who broke his wife's arm — but we're still absolutely transfixed by the tale of coll...
Rick Majerus Should Probably Just Stop Referring To The Groin Area
You thought Rick Majerus was just in trouble for pulling out his penis in front of his players. Nope! He made the tiny mistake of expressing his views on abortion....
Rick Majerus Will Show You His Billiken
I'm not sure what the monster is supposed to be in Cloverfield, but it can't be any more horrifying than this. From the pages of Sports Illustrated, via Larry Brown Sports, comes Tales of Nude Rick Majerus. Apparently the Saint Louis coach loves being naked, and it's not the good naked, as Seinfeld ...
