Best High School Football Stadiums Check out the photo gallery of the stadiums described, including, of course, Stadium Bowl, the cool stadium in Tacoma, Washington, which was seen in the Heath Ledger movie, "10 Things I Hate About You." Also look at Tad Gormley Stadium in New Orleans, flooded by Hurricane Katrina.

Not tonight, honey, I have a game tomorrow. The notion of pre-game abstinence from sex to enhance athletic performance is a longstanding one. But is that notion as fictional as Rocky Balboa? Sean Cupp thinks so. Chris Byrd is the guinea pig. Tom Fornelli resents his high school coach.

Casey Stengel used to say that it's not the sex that hurts an athlete's performance, it's the staying up all night chasing after it.

After his election to the Hall of Fame, Whitey Ford admitted that he sometimes doctored the ball, with considerable help from Elston Howard.

These are your 2006 MLB Some-Stars!
To paraphrase E.B.White, "All-Star voting is the recurrent suspicion that most of the people are right most of the time."
Discussion inside.

Why the anti-Loretta sentiments? He's hitting 26 points higher than Belliard, 35 points higher than Lopez, and he has half as many errors (3 to 6 for each them).

The Long Road to the Top: Two Years to Determine Fastest Marathoner! If there are those who think that the Stanley Cup playoffs are a bit drawn out, can you imagine waiting two years to find out who the champion is? Here's a post that is somewhat outside of the "big four" sports for a change. I think it is incredibly interesting to see the ways in which the marathon circuit is adapting to the demands for innovation in their sport. Personally, I think they should be applauded for some of these marketing strategies. The difficulties these strategies overcome might just help take this sport to a new level.

In fact, the championship will be awarded every year beginning in 2007 because the seasons will be taken as overlapping. Winning the 2007 Boston Marathon, for example, will count both toward the 2007 championship and the 2008 championship.

1966 'Glory Road' Miners to visit White House Thank God, no pun intended, the Dungy post was laid to rest. I just wanted to share this link and hopefully get some insight from all the 'Sports Filter' experts out there regarding the following "quote" from said link: It is all in conjunction with the movie and the 40th anniversary of El Paso's most famous team, the 1966 Texas Western Miners -- the team that is widely credited with breaking the color barrier in college athletics. Who else is credited with breaking the color barrier? Lay it on me dudes and dudettes. Peace.

The Texas Western team had five black starters, but you don't have to have an all-black starting lineup to "break the color barrier." The 1950 CCNY team that won both the NCAA and NIT tournaments had three black players, two of them starters. And that's just basketball. The article says "college athletics," which is absurd. The first black All-American football player was William H. Lewis, who played for Harvard in 1892 and 1893. And he had previously played for Amherst. If he didn't break the color barrier in college athletics, I don't know who did.

Lions hire Marinelli who spent the past 10 seasons in Tampa Bay as defensive line coach, said Thursday that as coach of the Detroit Lions he doesn't plan to worry about the team's struggling past.

Monte Kiffin has been the Bucs' defensive coordinator since 1996. Marinelli was their defensive line coach.
