Rich Rodriguez: Some Michigan players 'felt a sense of entitlement': He was implementing a spread-option offense, while working mostly with players recruited for a pro-style scheme, and said he just needed time.

Will U-M embrace Fab 5?: If it is indeed true that time heals all wounds, then the University of Michigan athletic department should have no qualms about welcoming back members of the Fab Five and other basketball standouts from the late 1990s inside the Crisler Center next year.

Runner carries injured foe half mile to help in middle of race: "I didn't think about my race, I knew I needed to stop and help him," Ripley said in the school district release. "It was something I would expect my other teammates to do. I'm nothing special; I was just in the right place at the right time." In today's "Everyman For Himself" society, its nice to hear stories like this.

61-year-old Vietnam vet makes the cut as a small-college kicker: What a great story. Be nice to know his stats/skill level at that age.

Bears refuse to bend to new kickoff rule, told by league to stop mid-game: How far will the NFL go to ruin tradition, with this rule teams like Oakland will never have to cover a kick off.

Goodell wants your team to sign Tim Tebow

beaverboard: "Somebody should have been able to stop that Tebow-led unit."

I recall a declining team and coach who lost to appalachian state in 07 did just that in a Bowl game played in the state of FL.

Tim Tebow Forsaken by Jets

NY was a bad situation for him, and I don't see another NFL team issuing a High school type playbook like Denver did, he needs to accept the fact that QB is not an option like many players do, and then he can possibly have a good pro career, and continue be loved and to spread his message.

Stern Would Like to Eliminate Hack-a-Howard

This should not be an issue for Stern, this is a team issue. If the Lakers don't want this strategy used against them then fix it! Its just like in baseball, it your pitching staff cant compete with a hitter and you keep walking him, you dont get to change the strike zone because your pitcher cant beat him.

NFL Might Eliminate Kickoffs

I find myself watching the game I love a little less as time go's on and I think this idea, if implemented, will push me over the edge.

Maryland Moving to Big Ten

@beaverboard: I agree, I remember when Texas, Nebraska, OKL and the "BIG 8" were powerfull, Bo & Woody would have problems with this.

AP source: Yankees tell Reggie to steer clear

RIGHT cixelsyd, No one benefited more from the "steroid era" than the Yankees. They should wear green pinstripes.

Will U-M embrace Fab 5?

There is no way they dig up this horrible skeleton, lets just work on replacing those banners with new ones.

The next round of college football realignments may be under way

If its true that U of Florida is afraid of FSU joining the SEC that seems crazy not to ad a powerfull school if you can. thats why I think the Big 10 is better off with NE than Mizzou & were courting N.D. forever.

Terrelle Pryor: I Sold Uniform to Help Mother

It is sad the obscene amounts of money the NCAA and its schools make off these young men, but like a lot of others, he felt it was worth the risk and took the chance.

Pat Summit steps down as head coach at Tennesse

I agree with lil_brown_bat, she is far too young to go through this. As a Michigan/Big Ten fan & SEC hater I tip my hat to the Best Ever.

Steelers Release Hines Ward

Atheist,..Nfl player's contract's are not garenteed, meaning players do not get to leave without a trade or buyout. They would have to sit out at least a season, but owners can dump players at anytime for any reason! Not quite fair as you think.

Penn State Recruiting Class Flops as Top Athletes Decommit

NoMich wrote: "It's going to be even tougher for them once the NCAA hits them with a whole raft of penalties."

Penalties for what? this is not an NCAA issue, this had nothing to do with the football team or athletic program itself, Sandusky has not been employed by the school in a long time. He was just granted permision to use the facilities for his so called "Youth Program."

Packers Linebacker Tackled Fan on Field

I'm curious how they enforce any ban on a sporting event like this, do they place an id chip under your skin?lol I've never seen posters at entrances before, how is this done?

Steelers' Clark Can't Play Because of Sickle-Cell

This a scary condition, in my paternal family I've lost Two Aunts & Two Uncles at relatively young ages & as a child I remember being poked with needles on a regular basis, which now I know was to test me for this disease. It just slowly destroys your body.

Suh Ejected for Stomping on Opponent

Is it just me, or is everyone ignoring Pat Lee's ejection? Good luck finding any news on it, typical media/fan bias BS.
