Christianity, kids, multiple wives, Ray Lewis, murders...this sounds like a pre-Super Bowl story by a tired media looking for anything to write two days before the SB.

I'm just glad we'll never have to hear any more of the bogus comparisons of Tom Brady to Joe Montana.
So they'll compare Flacco and Kaepernick to Brady, other quarterbacks and the ghosts of QBs past. Got to fill up the news holes with something.

"perfect knight"

Baseball's "perfect night" was an excellent example of why kids look up to athletes as role models. And why adults remember many of those athletes with awe.

Even Jack Nicholson, that stalwart Lakers fan, had enough of the team.

It's like they were waiting for the season to be called off, then they could fire Burke before the start of the new season later this year. Suddenly this season was to start in a matter of days. So as they wanted to get rid of him before the season started...

Hope it's true, but I'll believe it when the first puck is dropped. At this point, Bettman's word does not carry a lot of credibility.

The Big 10 might as well mail it in instead of showing up for Bowl games. That's how they play them anyway.

"We are not where we want to be, and a new general manager will be critical to getting this team back on the right track," Johnson said in his statement.
So Johnson plans to get the Jets on the right track but at the same time hold on to Ryan?
Talk about an oxymoron. Or maybe just a moron.

Reid stuck with Vick for too long. Reid had little confidence in Foles, but sticking with Mr. Turnover at QB led to several of the losses (the defense more than contributed). Vick would have done somewhat better if he had an OL that gave him a bit of time. But Vick needs time back there, and he didn't get it. Reid paid the price.

So are the Patriots supposed to run plays to see if they're successful? Then if they work, stop using them? Then go on to another play and see if that is successful? Find a play that doesn't work and stick with that so the other team doesn't pout and go home?

Tiger Woods Assessed 2-Stroke Penalty for Illegal Drop
it would have to be called an official's oversight in this case
A top-ranked golfer, a pro for many years, suddenly does not know the drop rule? The penalty that he was ultimately assessed seems secondary here. If he was confused, why didn't he err on the side of caution instead of giving himself a better lie with an illegal drop?
