University of Colorado Announces Valet Bike Parking For Football Games
Surely you jest. The University of Colorado couldn't really—this has to be made up, right? You can't expect to beat or even compete with five of the top 14 teams in the country if your university community is focused on valet bike parking. Well, you can if you're the crazy uncle of the Big 12. Welc...
The Questionable Madness Of Shawn Andrews
Shawn Andrews has always been a different type of guy. The line on him through most reporters is this: he's got his quirks, but he's a helluva football player and a really decent human being.

O.J. Simpson Down to One Co-Defendant; Other Four Have Now Copped Pleas
This is why when you want to commit a crime and get away with it you have to go get a knife, kill two people, and then blame racist cops when the DNA proves you did it. Otherwise you're just setting up your co-defendants to testify against you. Which is exactly what Charles Ehrlich just agreed to do...

Eric Montross is Paying Hush Money For John Edwards's Love Child?
Once a Tar Heel always a Tar Heel, I guess. Politics and sports make strange bedfellows. The John Edwards love-child affair hasn't really crossed over into the mainstream media because, honestly, I have no idea why it hasn't. Probably because most of the people who would be reporting on the matter ...
Scott Ferrall Needs Some Publicity
Sirius/XM Satellite Radio host Scott Ferrall actually had Ron Artest on-air last night and asked the forward about the pending trade to Houston.

NBA Player Carousel: Where Are They Now?
It's been a rather busy summer in the NBA: Extensions, trades, free agent signings, a few defections, and one notable overseas departure.

Looking for Why Gators Are Dominant? It Starts In Erin Andrews' Bed
