Urban Meyer Stepping Down
Whoa. Who has details? Rumor is health concerns which means I can’t make fun of him and Tebow. ESPN is now saying there are no major, immediate health concerns.

Dan Shanoff - TMZSports.com: Hot Story or Not... →
Read the above then come back.  It’s good. I agree with Dan that there is such fine line now between athlete and celebrity that I’m not sure a site like TMZ is going to benefit from having a separate domain for sports gossip. Personally, I haven’t been reading Deadspin lately, but rather skimming for the quality posts that come about once a week. (Thanks for the link though,...

Hangin' in there Rick?
My google alerts each morning are all reading the same. So-and-so isn’t interested in Rick Ankiel. Ankiel could be a last resort. After a slump in 2009… blah blah… You get the picture.  I hate this.  Even after storming out of the clubhouse at the end of last season, I can’t get mad at him.  He’s like that family member that acts like a jerk during Thanksgiving...

The 2010 Video Game Bowl — and Playoff —... →
Do you want a college football playoff? Do you love the tradition of a New Year’s Day packed with A-list bowls? You can have both, as shown by Stick Jockey’s video game simulation of a 16-team tournament - and 27 bowls. Yes I do! Yes I do!! Other than the fact that Arkansas is losing to OU in this scenario and ‘Bama loses to Oregon in the Championship… I love it I love...

Scott Boras is Still Being a Little Shit →
“The acquisition of a franchise talent is not about a wristwatch,” Scott Boras said Sunday when asked if he saw his client signing before the holidays arrive. “That’s about all I can tell you. It’s not a particular time. It’s about the club recognizing the benefit of having that player and how they’ll be dramatically impacted by the loss of that player. ...

All-Decade Team: Vote for the best running back →
Darren McFadden •Arkansas (2005-07) Explosive, versatile back was the original “Wildcat”; produced three straight 1,000-yard seasons; was a two-time consensus All-American; won back-to-back Doak Walker Awards; and finished second in Heisman voting two years in a row, eventually capping his decorated career with a 206-yard, three-touchdown effort in which he also passed for a...

Still Waiting... →
Is no news good news? General manager John Mozeliak and agent Scott Boras revisited the framework of the Cardinals’ lengthy proposal first tendered last Wednesday. Though both parties refuse to discuss details, the deal is worth around $16 million a season, making it easily the most lucrative deal ever offered by the Cardinals.

They abound. Central Florida/Rutgers (St. Petersburg Bowl) You’re not in Leningrad anymore.  On a good note, the age-old question of which would win in a duel — a knight or a scarlet knight — will be answered at last. South Florida/Northern Illinois (International Bowl) The early over/under on number of players you can name in this game without looking at a roster is 2....

Cardinals pursuing pitcher Brad Penny →
Oooh.  Interesting.  I hadn’t heard this one. The St. Louis Cardinals have expressed interest in starting pitcher Brad Penny, and according to at least one rival team and another baseball source they are close to landing the righthander. Penny, last with the San Francisco Giants, turned down a one-year, incentive-laden deal with that club so that he could explore free agency. An online...
