Clemens reportedly had affair with country star Roger Clemens has another potential scandal he's already denying. He reportedly had a affair with country singer Mindy McCready in a decade-long relationship that began when she was 15 and Clemens was a 28-year old with the Red Sox. This could be especially damaging as Clemens' defamation suit against Brian McNamee proceeds.

Basketball team resists Saudi restrictions on female athletes. These Saudi women are going to play basketball, by gum, and there's nothing you can do about it. Zahed, who prays regularly and wears a head scarf even when outside Saudi Arabia, said that nothing in Islam bans women from sports. "Our society just has to get used to it," she said. "It's not yet normal for them to see women playing sports. But times are changing, and they have to start accepting it." (There's even a video of them playing.)[via]

Amen lbb! My sister ran track and played softball in high school and had runners legs. She caught all kinds of flak because she was good and happened to be a tomboy.

Olympic torch put out by protests. Security officials canceled the final run of the Olympic relay through Paris after chaotic protests Monday, sending a snuffed-out torch to its destination on a bus in a humiliating concession to protesters decrying China's human rights record.

The Montgomery Bus Boycott was a protest that any number of people discounted for various reasons, one of the most prevalent was that the protesters would not maintain the boycott/protest for longer than a weekend. And although it took quite a long time, almost two years, the results were a redical change in civil rights in the U.S..

Casualties of the NFL: The fits, when they come, turn him as white as the walls and send unself-conscious tears down his cheeks. It's DeMarco at 35: dirt-poor, broken, and in a headfirst spiral, taking his wife and children down with him. .... "There was no food in the house, and I mean none -- not a box of mac and cheese or a can of tuna ..... Brian and Autumn hadn't eaten in a couple of days and between them had 75 cents. Total." A harrowing account of post-NFL experiences.

Oh my GOD!!!! Upshaw's salary would make a dent with Gridiron Greats. He could afford to donate a year or two. The a**hat.
What Upshaw is doing by pitting the younger players against the older ones is the same principle being used to scare people into overhauling social security. Except in football's case, its an outrageous falsehood. Upshaw should be ashamed!

Tahoemoj,
I was thinking the exact same thing. Imagine Upshaw being "surprised " to see that there are contempories of his on the list!
If blows to the head do not cause trauma to the brain, what is the NFL afraid of?
My second thought was and still is that this is long overdue.

Imus, the Irrelevant and Whitlock, the Wise I know the Imus slur of Rutgers players is all over the news. And, we are sick of hearing about it. But this excellent piece by Jason Whitlock of the Kansas City Star is reminiscent of Bill Cosby's refreshing and candid commentary on the real problems facing minorities.

You know, I was debating adding my two cents to this thread. I was actually going to say " Where's Bishop?", left the thread, returned and here you are. I must admit, my immediate thought was Foley was shot while walking toward the officer. Where's the outrage?
I'm normally of the opinion that public people are sometimes held to a different standard. It's not fair, but there it is. So I have to live in a fishbowl and I'm not a public figure. But I must admit, all of the posts who piled on Foley, PacMan Jones, or any other pro athlete who does something stupid and happens to not be of majority European ethnicity are proving Bishop's point by the absence of posts here.
I also normally try to avoid posting in certain threads, if I see a train wreck approaching, my first instinct is to run madly in the other direction.
My two cents became five, sorry for the rambling post.

Insert Your Own "Reaching the Summitt" Joke Here: Tennessee Women's Basektball Coach Pat Summitt racks up her seventh National Championship, as the Lady Vols stomped Rutgers last night, 59-46. Tennessee has now beaten Rutgers three straight years in the NCAA tournament and five times since 1998.

Whenever Tennessee and Rutgers meet, I always hope for a different outcome, if for no other reason than to prevent the coronary that I know my 77 year old mother is going to have watching the two teams play. People, she's calling me and shouting at the Rutgers team to do something different! After this year, I've come to the conclusion that I will be the one on the floor of cardiac arrest, not my mother. Please, Vivian, if not for my mother, for me, beat Tennessee please...

Has the Grade A a**hat not heard of Althea Gibson and Arthur Ashe? But that would probably require taking our a** out of the hat. Oh well, the lengths one goes to remain ignorant.....

Thats one of the reasons I joined Sportsfilter after reading it for awhile, to keep up with the latest potty mouth language, i.e. a**hat. (chuckle) Besides, the words do not bruise my ears so if they are written. Bad grammar and punctuation do much more damage to my eyes...

I agree, rcade. Simply because Mark Cuban is flamboyant and easy to hate does not make him wrong.
