USC QB John David Booty lands in Minnesota
The Minnesota Vikings traded up Sunday to select USC quarterback John David Booty in the fifth round of the NFL draft. Booty comes with plenty of polish and accuracy, but the Vikings said he will not start over Tavaris Jackson. Booty is plenty talented, but questions about his injury history and his touch on long throws dropped him in the draft.

She is batting .259 with 12 RBIs and has committed only one error as the Yellowjackets are one game out of first place in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference (11-7, 22...

Congressmen label BCS an illegal enterprise
Congressmen Neil Abercrombie, D-Hawaii; Lynn Westmoreland, R-Ga; and Mike Simpson, R-Idaho believe the BCS is an illegal enterprise. No, not because they never get the playoffs right. Because it is unfair, restricting non-BCS schools from competing for the title and a large share of the money. All three congressmen have home-state schools that were excluded from the title game despite...

Recruit accidentally shatters Florida Gators' 2006 National Championship trophy
Prospect tight end Orson Charles shattered Florida football's 2006 National Championship trophy last week when he bumped into it while taking pictures of quarterback Tim Tebow's Heisman trophy. The crystal trophy was valued at $35,000. I'm guessing there's no chance of the Gators giving money to Charles under the table next season...or recruiting him for that matter...

USC star freshman O.J. Mayo to declare for NBA draft
USC star freshman O.J. Mayo has decided to declare for the NBA draft and will probably hire an agent. Mayo first signalled his intentions when he wore socks with an NBA logo in USC's loss to Kansas State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. He averaged 20.7 points (a USC freshman record), 4.5 rebounds, and 3.3 assists. Is this really a surprise at all?

Bronco QB Jay Cutler has ripped injured WR Brandon Marshall publicly and harshly. Said Cutler; "Yeah, he's not my favorite person right now, I mean, I support him, but it's always something with him right now. I've talked to him many times. I think a lot of people have. . . .

NFL rethinking playoff seeding
PALM BEACH, Fla. — Part of the New York Giants' mojo in streaking to an unexpected Super Bowl XLII title in February was wrapped in their identity as road warriors.
First stop, Tampa. Then Dallas. Then Green Bay.
The Giants never had a home playoff game, but it didn't stop them from getting an opportunity to upset the undefeated New England Patriots.

Cardinals make new deal with WR Fitzgerald a priority
I'm not doubting that Larry is a classy guy, an incredible football player, but what has he proven on the football field. I'm sorry but if I compare the early part of Randy's career to Larry's career...Randy is hands down the better receiver. Larry is worth a ton, but not his current contract value and his agent is already looking at 2 yrs from now. The Cardinals...

Study shows Historically Black Colleges and Universities struggle to meet Title IX's proportionality test
Another one of the unintended consequences of Title IX enforcement: Schools like Howard, Jackson State, Southern and 72 others can't attract enough male students, so a negative feedback loop has been set up that keeps resulting in men's athletic programs being eliminated. Ironically, one of the best ways to attract men to campus is to offer varsity sports.

ESPN trades Sean Salisbury for Cris Carter
Sean Salisbury has finally been let go at ESPN. The official explanation is his contract expired but more likely, ESPN just hired Cris Carter and decided that they had had enough of Salisbury and antics like showing off pictures of his junk on his cellphone and calling John Clayton the "cryptkeeper". Goodbye Sean, I'll miss you as much as I miss Theismann; none.
