Tour de Fake?: Tour de France winner, Floyd Landis, reportedly tested positive for drugs after Stage 17. Yeah, that stage 17.

Are you kidding me?: Phil Jackson and Kobe Bryant are scheduled to meet this week in Los Angeles. It looks like Phil is seriously considering returning to LA. Can he turn this team around?

The only kicker there bperk is that there has been no mention of Nike wanting the contract. Nike DID just pick up Florida State, but not UCF.
Nike couldn't really do anything until adidas ended their contractual relationship. I see no reason why Nike wouldn't do it. And, I don't believe Nike just picked up FSU. They have had a contractual relationship for a long, long time.

adidas ends their contract with UCF. Nike starts a new one. Marcus gets to wear the shoes that has made his pop a gadzillionaire. Everyone is happy.

It didn't work so well for me!
Thanks, DJE.

The gloves forming the mascot is pretty clever. The helmets look awesome.

That's loose, not lose.

He has always been a jerk. Now, he isn't productive. Cut him lose.

No. I like moderating that keeps the discussions civil and mostly intelligent, but not censored for any and all use of a curse word.
Kerrycindy, there are kids specific sports sites like SI Kids where young people write blog stories and such. If you think that any exposure to curse words would be harmful to your son, you could encourage him to use a site like that.

I understand why small market teams can't spend that kind of money. I don't understand why the Mets, Dodgers, Cubs and teams in other big markets can't spend money. Are the Yankees super profitable because they are always in contention or are they always in contention because they are super profitable?

Why is Ann Killion giving Cable a pass for assaulting Randy Hanson? Flipping out at a team meeting and breaking somebody's jaw isn't any more acceptable than domestic violence.
It is also a lot more relevant to Cable's job as head coach.

But the cyclists I see on the news in Toronto talking about bike/car incidents don't seem to want to shoulder the blame for the number of riders who ignore traffic signals, weave in and out of traffic and generally ignore the laws which they seem to want to protect them from vehicles.
As a non-cyclist driver, I don't want to shoulder any blame for all the morons driving cars either. A lot of drivers, especially in this area (DC), don't believe that bicyclists even belong on the road.

The whole melting pot concept is one of the main ideas touted about the USA in school. How could you miss that lesson?

You can't try to kill people that fail to follow the rules of the road. And, the riders claimed they were two abreast, he wanted them to be single file.

The Sunday night game has been around for 20 years. How long has October baseball been around?

By contrast, whenever these incidents happen in baseball, there's a jovial atmosphere as the crowd roars at the antics of the critter- squirrel, cat, raccoon, whatever- as it dances around the field and eludes the grounds crew, and always ends with a nice net or ushering into a secured area.
Baseball is played outside. Not that many people have the same reaction to little critters once they are inside. And, plus, it was a freakin' bat.

Girardi risks his life helping accident victim after the series celebration
Wouldn't it be reasonably likely that Girardi has a few in celebration with his team?
Not everyone has to drink alcohol to celebrate.
