In Tim Tebow's name, another blow to NCAA's credibility
Everybody knows that EA Sports creates avatars for its college football games that are meant to mimic the real players who, incidentally, don't receive a dollar while the NCAA (through its licensing company) makes millions. An EA Sports executive already acknowledged this in a deposition that's part of the Ed ...
Paul Finebaum to return with national ESPN show
The nation soon will get a chance to join the South in pointing and laughing at the people who call Paul Finebaum's show to reinforce negative stereotypes about SEC football fans and occasionally confess to crimes. The Wall Street Journal's Web site reports that ESPN has signed Finebaum to a ...
Vandy coach calls out Vols troll
Any public figure with a decent amount of Twitter followers (or a blog) is going to deal with trolls, those Internet tough guys and a-holes. Trolls tend to be attention-seeking losers so it's usually best to ignore them or just clown them for being attention-seeking losers. But Vandy o-line coach ...

ESPN hilariously reports Notre Dame could be shut out of bowl game even if eligible
ESPN.com's Brett McMurphy wrote a great piece of satire today in which he suggests Notre Dame could be shut out of a bowl game if it doesn't qualify for a BCS berth in 2013. You can just imagine the grin on McMurphy's face when he wrote that the Irish may ...
Knowing nods for Hawks fans as Mike Woodson feels heat with Knicks
Let's see . . . Deferring to a ball-dominating star with one-on-one tendencies? Check. Using lineups and strategies in reaction to the opponent rather than forcing the opposition to adjust? Yep. Benching an effective player for no apparent reason? Sure. Continuing to play a washed-up vet when better options are ...
Another bizarre Twitter pic from a Florida coach
At this point, Florida WR coach Joker Phillips is like that uncle you have who finally discovers a "new" technology and then drives everyone crazy with it. Either that, or Phillips is having some kind of psychotic break. Phillips, who was busted down to his current position after Kentucky fired ...
Saint Louis U. coach Jim Crew yanks player's scholarship just because
Not many things cause more hurt feelings among fans than when a player commits to their school and then changes his mind, thus tragically robbing them of the opportunity to live vicariously through the accomplishments of an 18-year old. Along the same lines is the arguments for forcing players to ...
U. Memphis sadly puts punter on cover of spring guide
The face of Memphis Tigers football is punter Tom Hornsey. That's him trying to look badass on the cover of the Memphis spring football guide with the apparently unironic slogan: "I Am A Tiger Hear Me Roar." (H/T Paul Myerberg) What does it say about a program that puts a ...
Mario Williams is kind of a jerk, ex-fiancee alleges
Bills defensive end Mario Williams probably should have thought through this whole “put my ex-fiancee on blast as a gold digger” strategy. After Williams sued Erin Marzouki in a Texas court for the return of a $785,000 engagement ring, Marzouki (predictably) fired back with a counter-suit that says Williams is ...

Video: Football recruit turns down Michigan State to be a rapper
http://youtu.be/rQTgeCyrtYM Philadelphia-area football player Jay Harris is not one of these athletes out there rapping just for a hobby. This guy is serious about his art and, to prove it, Harris will not play football on scholarship at Michigan State and instead will try to make it in the rap ...
Athlon: UGA has 24th-best 'dynasty' in college football history
Athlon Sports ranked the top 25 college football dynasties during the AP era. The criteria for the list isn't explained so it's not exactly clear why, for example, the timespan for what is considered a "dynasty" vary so widely. Anyway, it's mid-May and so this is the kind of thing ...
Reports: Fired UT staffer investigated for 'improper relationships' that include Trae Golden
It was pretty scandalous when the Knoxville News Sentinel reported that Vols guard Trae Golden, the former McEachern High star, was transferring from the program because of "repeated plagarisim" in his coursework. That may end up being the least controversial part of the story. Now the News Sentinel is reporting ...
Course marshal says Tiger Woods 'lacked character' in spat with Sergio Garcia
Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia had a cute little feud over the weekend at the TPC. It involved the timing of when Woods removed a club from his bag, if spectators' reaction to that action distracted Garcia while he was about to swing, and whether Woods should have known this ...
Al Horford calls Bulls 'borderline dirty,' backs down when Stephen A. Smith disagrees
Today Hawks big man Al Horford went to Bristol to appear on ESPN's contrived argument show, "First Fake Take." The Hater watched so you don't have to. For one segment, the First Take crew asked if the Bulls are in the Heat's head. This question needed to be asked because ...
Giants owner blames Jets for hurting Tim Tebow's career, doesn't offer Tebow a job
In what can only be construed as a jab at New York's other team and a play for support from the many members of the Tim Tebow Cult, New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch said going to the Jets may have hurt Tebow's career. Or, as TMZ reported in its ...
Video: NY Rangers coach punks reporters for bad questions
http://youtu.be/j20wXzvuGY4 There is a surefire way to identify the hacks among the unwashed media members taking part in that enduring ritual of sterile nothingness, the press conference. Just see which "reporter" begins his or her query with "talk about." As in, "Talk about 'x,y, and z' so I don't have ...
