In response to the kerfuffle over Curt Schilling's new contract incentive that pays him $1 million for a single Cy Young vote, the BBWAA has resolved to ban all athletes with such incentives from consideration for related awards. Shockingly, Schilling responds.

My eyes, My eyes. Someone show Schilling's intern how to format posts properly. Oh wait? he maintains this blog himself. Huzzah. That said, Schilling seems remarkably aware of his critics and comrades in the game of sports reporting. Are all ballplayers like this? I thought they generally avoided reading the columnist. The way Schilling catches them in hypocritical statements is fun to read (more fun if they fixed the fonts). He's also a prolific writer.

Los Angeles has a way of rehabilitating players... or is that putting players into rehab? I forget. Either way, it's nice to see the old baseball team spending a little dough on some talent.

How can you say anything bad about Cribbage? I can't believe Cup Stacking was left off that list or Parkour (freerunning) for that matter.

Great Story. I can think of a few professional players that could use a trip to the artic.

Replacing the BCS with a 16 team playoff. Drew Wetzel discusses how this should be done.

Weak conference argument aside, on any given Saturday with the right prep work, a few lucky ball bounces, and tough play, any team (even a Division-II team) can beat any other. That's why the playoff system is exciting in every other college sport and why college football should have one too. Any body who claims their conference is too good for the 'weaker' conferences is just chicken-shit to play them.

Olympics 2010 Vancouver mascots revealed. Miga the Sea Bear, Quatchi the Sasquatch and Sumi the Orca hat-wearing Black Bear/ThunderBird are cute, eh? Get to know'em.

These definitely pass the 'low bar' set for good mascots. But I can certainly see the merchandise possibilities for each. For instance, Quatchi the Sasquatch would make a great plush. :)

Amazing. How tough would it be to do this going back 20 or 30 seasons and get some real statistical significance?

For The Love of Sport: The Sweet Science Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Ricky Hatton will attempt to knock a little bit of the tarnish off of boxing’s image on December 8, 2007 when they clash for the WBC welterweight title in Las Vegas. The latest in a weekly series by sportsfilter member kyrilmitch_76.

I hope Floyd can do better in the ring than he could on Dancing With The Stars. Maybe he can show off some of those new moves.

Motorcycle daredevil Evel Knievel dead at 69 Immortalized in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington as "America's Legendary Daredevil," Knievel was best known for a failed 1974 attempt to jump an Idaho canyon on a rocket-powered cycle and a spectacular crash at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas.

As I grew up in the boredom of suburban life, Evel's stunts punctuated my childhood with the excitement of knowing that while there was an edge out there, men of daring could cross over that line and live. But there was a cost and frankly, I'm amazed Knievel lived as long as he did. Here's a tribute to Evel that contains his plans to pull off the ultimate stunt, jumping from an airplane with no parachute.

Sean Taylor murder was a botched robbery The Washington Post is a reporting that Sean Taylor's murder was simply a case of a robbery gone wrong. The suspects thought he was out of town and didn't expect anyone to be home.

no matter how you look at it, it's a crap situation. I would normally never say this, but good luck to the Redskins this weekend

Knicks Disappoint The Entire World New York Knicks owner James Dolan promised free tickets to all remaining Knicks games to UN ambassadors if the team won Tuesday night vs. Golden State at Madison Square Garden. How'd that work out? Not too good. After the Knicks got pounded by the Warriors, 108 - 82, even a seasoned diplomat like UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon was moved to say of the Knicks, "they're playing poorly, very poorly, and I'm disappointed."

What does Isiah have on New York Knicks owner James Dolan anyway? Shouldn't his ass be out the door like 50 games ago?

I did like the little turkey graphic on FOX. Much better than that awful robot thing. How long has that been around anyway? Can't afford to hire a new graphic designer?

McClaren sacked for big loss After only 18 matches as England's coach, Steve McClaren and assistant coach Terry Venables have lost their positions after their side's failure to qualify for Euro 2008. The Football Association said was a unanimous decision by the board. So who's next? The speculation begins.

Maybe he can get a job over here in the MLS or the reincarnation of the WUSA. Apparently we like to hire losers.

I hope Solo learned a lesson, and from this story it appears that she did. The coach ended up where he belonged, watching from afar. What's sad is that this World Cup was supposed to result in momentum for a new Professional Women's Soccer League in the US. But this CF has let the air out of those tires. What's it going to take to get the mo again? Who knows.
