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.

NFL to Punish Players Who Don't Stand During Anthem

Isn't it obvious that the annual big fat propaganda check the government sends to the NFL each season is the reason for this.

College Football Fan Map

I didn't see it get above 10% for Western Michigan in and around Kalamazoo, and I'm finding it hard to believe that.

0-16 Philadelphia 76ers Two Games from Worst Start in NBA History

Well, the only good thing going is a chance to beat S.A. because Pop will bench his aging super stars often this time of year.

Oakland Raiders: Not the Worst Team in the NFL in 2013, Won’t Be in 2014 Either

I realize that this once feared franchise hasn't been relevant in a while, and Mark Davis will never know the game, or be the Legend his daddy was, but he seems to know that he needs to hire people who do know "todays" game and let them do what's needed to turn this thing around. So no, I don't think they will regress this season as they would have to to end up worst in the league.

Why is the world's gayest sport stuck in the closet?

To me, its not about the sexual preference of a skater, but the fact that some present a colorful, flamboyant, or outwardly feminine performance brings out the fear and bigotry.

Jets Told Refs to Look for Patriots' Push

That was just great scouting and heads up coaching by the Jets. And as a life long Raider fan I'm not really hurting for "The Hoodie."

How the NFL Fleeces Taxpayers

Wow! I just don't have the words to describe what I'm feeling, but I wouldn't call it shock.

Columnist: 'Miserable Jaguars Must Sign Tim Tebow Immediately'

Denver basically pulled out a high school playbook in order to use Tebow, I don't see another team willing to do that no matter how bad they are.

Meyer admits mistakes ... sort of

This guy just doesn't get it, its not about his or his staff's leadership or team discipline, or reacting to things after the fact. Its about the type of people he recruits and until that changes he will continue to destroy the reputations of every team he coaches. ...But I guess its ok because he wins titles.

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.
