Delany "disappointed" about Ohio State situation
Posted by Bryan Fischer Speaking to reporters about the Big Ten title game Sunday afternoon, commissioner Jim Delany said he was not angry at Jim Tressel or how Ohio State was handling their NCAA case invovling several players taking extra benefits. In a line surely to get him a call from PETA, Delany deflected...
Experts: OSU’s woes could impact recruiting for UM, MSU
Sam Webb First of two parts. The Ohio State football program faces an uncertain future thanks to Jim Tressel’s resignation and possible NCAA sanctions ahead. That new reality could significantly alter the recruiting landscape in the talent-rich Buckeye State this year, and Michigan and Michigan State may be uniquely positioned to take advantage.

Blue married to the idea of fresh start
Enlarge Image duane burleson / the associated pressThe Bombers covet Central Michigan wide receiver Kito Poblah, right, so much they might sacrifice a draft pick to get him. (CP) It’s Paul LaPolice’s job to coax and to prod his Winnipeg Blue Bombers squad one moment and then throw an encouraging arm around it the...
UConn Men Must Do Better; Recent Academic Performance Is A Total Joke
University of Hartford President Walt Harrison says he is scheduled to have lunch soon with incoming UConn President Susan Herbst. Good. Let’s hope no-nonsense talk is on the menu.

Paul Gascoigne was carried off on a stretcher 17 minutes into the 1991 FA Cup final between Tottenham Hotspur and Nottingham Forest. Everything was different after that. He had less than...
Rick Welts Comes Out, Changing The Face of Gay
Phoenix Suns president Rick Welts came out of the closet this weekend. The wide world of sports will never be the same. Men’s athletics are a bastion of hyper masculinity, realms traditionally peppered with homophobic attitudes and taunts, as seen last month when LA Lakers star Kobe Bryant called a referee “faggot.” It’s no...
Episode No. 7 recap: "The Ultimate Fighter 13: Team Lesnar vs. Team Dos Santos"
As tonight’s episode begins, we’re again reminded of the wild-card fight for this season’s episode. Despite their losses, Chuck O’Neill (the injury replacement for Team Lesnar’s Myles Jury) and Javier Torres (Team Dos Santos’ third-round pick) get a second shot at the quarterfinals and are matched up for the fight. But the selection continues...
Manny Pacquiao continues domination
Rafael’s remark: Even on what was not Pacquiao’s best night, the pound-for-pound king still delivered a totally dominant performance against Mosley, winning virtually every second of every round. But it was not an exciting fight, a defect we have come to expect from Pacquiao. In fact, it was his third consecutive fight that lacked...
Bubba could start something big with the Royals
COMMENTARY Bubba Starling can change baseball in Kansas City forever, and if that sounds like an unfair burden to put on an 18-year-old kid, thats too bad, because its also reality. The movie script can happen in real life now, and it can alter the course of an entire major-league baseball franchise. A boy...
