While Tennis is often overlooked except for the sometimes translucent nature of tennis apparel and  the proclivity of male tennis players to use the bottoms of their shirts to wipe sweat, collegiate tennis teams often work as hard or harder than most other sports. Add to that the multitude of international players on American D-1 teams, [...]

Note to professional or college athletes, stop taking photos of your naked self, there are no winners in that situation. Well except gay men of course.

AFC Championship Game New York Jets at Indianapolis Colts Sunday 3:00 PM ET – CBS Last week I boldly predicted the Chargers would put the Jets away before the sun set in So Cal, boy was I wrong about the Jets, again.

Brett Favre makes me eat my words It’s time for me to eat some crow here. Thinking it would become the biggest non-story of the year, I railed on ESPN’s round the clock reporting on Brett Favre during the preseason, boy was I wrong.

On the same day, in the same town, two sportswriters, two friends of mine, killed themselves.  One was my old hoops buddy Mike Penner, who started at the Los Angeles Times the same year I did.

During his introductory press conference at USC, Lane Kiffin said that Tennessee is one of the top ten coaching gigs in the country, but apparently Duke head coach and two-time former Tennessee Vol assistant David Cutcliffe doesn’t agree with the chosen one.
