Remembering The Long-Dead "The National"
Old-time media people might remember the short-lived "The National," a daily national sports newspaper founded by Frank Deford and featuring a lot of names you probably didn't know in the early '90s but certainly do now (Chris Mortensen, Keith Olbermann, Scott Ostler).

Just Rename It The 'Roger Federer Tour' And Get It Over With
It's looking like there will be exactly one interesting men's professional tennis match played this year, and that will be Roger Federer vs. Rafael Nadal in the finals of the French Open.

Serena Rampages Through Australia
Playing like a slightly more masculine version of Roger Federer, Serena Williams spanked Maria Sharapova in the finals of the Australian Open yesterday, winning 6-1, 6-2. It is the third biggest upset in Australian Open history, sort of. Serena came into the tournament ranked 81st in the world. Turn...

You Probably Won't Hear Billy Packer Breaking Down Iona's Offense This Season
New word to be added to the English lexicon, 21st century edition, right after "Truthiness" and before "eBays." Introducing "Fruscinating."

Someone Is Going To Coach The Steelers
But it might not be Mike Tomlin.

Good news! The new Jesus sports statues are in, still piping hot from the kiln and ready for shipping over at Catholic Shopper.com.
