Did anyone else get a ton of 'sportsfilter' spam last night?: I got 25+ e-mails from a website called http://grou.ps that claimed to have a Sportsfilter-related group and encouraging me to "increase my activity rank". This is to the e-mail addy I have listed in my profile here. No biggie, I can just delete 'em, I was just curious if anyone else here was getting them too.

Cuban Lefthander Aroldis Chapman Defects: Aroldis Chapman, perhaps the "best left-handed pitching prospect in the world" has left the Cuban National Team hotel in the Netherlands."I walked out easily, right through the hotel door, and I hopped into a car and left," Chapman told cubaencuentro.com. "It was easy. Now the plan is to sign with a major league team." Chapman is 21 years old and has a fastball that has been clocked at 102 mph.

The San Antonio Spurs send three players to Milwaukee, get Richard Jefferson in return.: The Bucks receive Bruce Bowen, Fabricio Oberto, and Kurt Thomas, all of whom are entering the final year of their contracts.

Fun fact: Fans of the team have more unique ways to say "Fuck the Rangers" than Inuits do for "snow".

You can throw me in the "of course not, don't be silly" group, but I'm kind of an asshole and don't much care for children.

I doubt Dez and Michael Trabtree are the only ones, so apparently a few young athletes, cixelsyd.

I think the athletes that have gotten away with much worse (did that Reggie Bush house situation ever get resolved?) have a much larger impact on the shady dealings of College Sports than an overzealous punishment for a quasi-mistake about nothing, really.
The only real effects I can see this having are ending Bryant's college career (not to mention hurting OSU's chance at beating Texas this Saturday) and hurting Deion's reputation.

It's probably going to be the end of Dez's college career. Okie State QB Zac Robinson is a senior and has (to the best of my knowledge) no heir apparent. I can't see Bryant wanting to return to Stillwater to help break in a new QB.
Hopefully Dez will get the last laugh on the foolhardy folks at the NCAA and go on to have the great professional career he seems capable of.

It can't possibly be any worse than Bob Dylan's new Christmas album.

I appreciate the concern, rogers, but I'll humbly suggest that it's those poor nubile graduates that are the deprived victims here, not me.

cjets - the part I find objectionable is the implication that the situation and people involved are more deplorable because she's unattractive, or that Phillips wouldn't be as much of a shitheel if he'd been sleeping with a hot 22-year-old coworker. Her physical attributes have *nothing* to do with the story, other than cheap laughs.
Atheist & dusted - I don't want to derail this further, so I'll just play the "it aint evil, just a personal preference" card and leave it at that.

Man. I'm 30, single, and not a public figure and I'd feel lecherous sleeping with a 22 year old. Phillips obviously needs to grow the hell up.
I wonder how many keyboard comedians would feel comfortable posting pictures of everyone they've slept with for the internet to judge?

Perhaps the dispenser contained more nude pics that Reed took with his phone to send to random girls at a bar?

I'd heard Padilla was a divisive character in the clubhouse, but if he can get all the way to the top of an organization in this short of time, his powers must be far greater than feared.

There will likely be a half dozen NFL coaching gigs open by the end of the season. If Gruden would like to end his overly positive stint discussing rainbows and kittens four hours a week and return to the sidelines, I should think he'd be able to land one.

Paris Hilton
My bad. Same product, different packaging.

Didn't Simpson do a fairly suggestive Carl's Jr commercial a few years back? Or am I getting my starlets mixed up?
Regardless, the Cowboys are supplying plenty of fodder on their own this season for humor. Resorting to poking fun at the QB's ex seems pretty damned lazy.

NFL's Dirtiest Player: Hines Ward
people just think I'm biased.
Amen tahoe ...The big problem is 99.9% of them
Yeah, I hate when people stereotype me while I'm busy stereotyping them too.
