It's image, image, image Barry: “There’s a big difference between a court of law and the court of public opinion,” said Mike Paul, the president of MGP & Associates PR in New York. “I’m sure an attorney is telling him, ‘You can’t say you’re sorry or that you took steroids,’ but it’s the only thing that would repair his reputation.”

NASCAR facing uncertain future as it searches for its identity: “Are we moonshiners, country music, banjos and Route 66?” said one auto racing promoter. “Or are we merlot and Rodeo Drive? We just have to settle down and say: ‘Is this what we want? Exactly who are we?’ ”

Hot pajamas! Noah takes the heat off Brewer: and Florida goes on to beat the wildcats -- led by Brewer.

Up with Stevie Y.: The Wings had to honor him in some way. I imagine this is just the start.

No Stuporsonics in Seattle?: Has moving sports teams become the thing to do? And Loria isn't even involved in this. As for Stern...

Here is the indictment as posted on the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Web site. So much for the day job in Atlanta, Ron...er...Michael.

With Hasek, I see the Wings making the playoffs. I don't see them making it with Osgood.

Plante over Moon, no question. Certainly Moon was talented, but the history and overall contributions to his sport side with Plante. And Ted Williams or Gordie Howe. What a debate. Whatever you choose, the other side will, rightfully, scream.

What about Greg Maddux at #30 (with the Padres) or #31 (Braves and Cubs). How can you leave him out?

should be given a second chance providing he comes clean What...he admits he broke the rule so we should put him in the HOF because of that? I'm all for second chances, but he used that and other chances up with his lying and spin over the years.

Records are made to be broken, not rules. Rules are made for a reason. Pete Rose broke the cardinal rule of baseball. He made the choice to do that. He knew it was the cardinal rule of baseball, since it's posted in clubhouses. He made the choice to break it anyway. Since he made the choice to break the rule, he can live with the consequences. No HOF for Pete Rose.

Marvin Miller had more of an impact on baseball than half of those guys on the veterans committee. I could understand them not wanting to vote somebody into the HOF if there were no good candidates. But Miller, Santos, Kaat...come on committee, get off your egos and get these guys in.

More than ever, it seems that in the big games, it's simply a matter of who wants it more, not how good a team looks on paper or even the regular season highlight reels. Florida wanted the championship and played like champions. Ohio State read too many of their own press releases and didn't even show up. Florida pounded the Buckeyes and showed they wanted the title and showed they were better than Ohio State on the field. Ohio State played like they weren't prepared, didn't care, and took Florida for granted. Florida deserves the title. Their offense and execution dominated Ohio State. I feel for Boise State, but I really don't think they could beat this Florida team.

Talk about obsession. Evander apparently won't be happy until he gets his head cracked before he retires.

The World Series was good for the Tigers this year in that the young players got some experience in the playoff atmosphere. So instead of nervous mistakes next year should be a top team that shows it should truly be at the top.

What did they do, eat around the rat? Maybe they didn't see the 6-inch rodent.

Kenny Rogers doesn't need any "substance" to get guys out. He showed it in last night's game and in the Oakland and Yankee games. And memo to Todd Jones: Us Tiger fans do not need ninth-inning heart attacks.

Tigers played like they had some time off to get rusty. No offense, too many errors. Sounds like an inept team that took this game for granted. Hopefully they'll wise up and play smarter in Game 2.

Doe's Michigan's win make them a national title contender? If they beat Ohio State. Even then, it's a maybe.

McCarthy: marketing deal good for Favre
C'mon Brett. Do you want to be remembered as a great quarterback, or as the Evander Holyfield of football--a guy who just doesn't know when to retire.
