According to reports, Tony Romo's and Jessica Simpson's relationship is over.

A Penn State basketball player was arrested for masturbating in public, but he says he was just touching, not pulling. He told police, ""Why would I need to masturbate? This is how I chill, ma'am." More details at the link, including allegations that the player told the woman about whom he was 'touching' that he was selling hand lotion. What!?

"The team is made up of 11 dwarves (average height: 4ft.) who travel Brazil playing youth teams in an effort to raise awareness for dwarfdom through their stubby-legged soccer prowess." Too bad there is no video. I would love to see these guys doing their thing.

"Joe Starkey was a well-liked and respected math teacher and soccer coach in Washington state... right up to the point where he got arrested for and admitted to having sex with a 15-year-old student who had run away from home."

It appears that the cameras of KTXA in Dallas caught a glimpse of the Cowboys' DB wish list during a visit to team headquarters. Such lists of franchises' draft desires are usually kept very secret. It could be argued that showing off the list was an elaborate ruse by Wade Phillips & staff, just to throw off the other 31 teams. Or they just forgot to erase the boards before the camera crew came in.

So, the Cowboys' crew is either really crafty or really stupid.

We prefer the latter.

From what can be seen, Dallas wants, in order:

1. Dominique Rogers-Cromartie

2. Leodis McKelvin

3. Kenny Phillips

4. Mike Jenkins

5. Aqib Talib

6. Tyrell Johnson

7. Tracey Porter

"The city of Jeannette, PA breathed a collective sigh of relief late Tuesday night, as it was announced that their Terrelle Pryor-led Jayhawks would be at full strength for their PIAA playoff game tonight. The status of several players was in doubt following a nasty altercation after their PIAA playoff game against North Catholic on Saturday night."

The two-sport star still hasn't chosen where he'll play football (and maybe basketball) next year. Ohio State and Michigan want him as a QB, and there's also a possibility that he goes to Memphis or elsewhere to play both sports.

I'm not sure what to make of a professional soccer playing who not only drops nearly 200 Gs on a Range Rover with pink rims, but who also lies about the death of not one -- but two! -- grandmothers so that he can avoid playing a match.

"Stephen Ireland, who recently took delivery of a £90,000 Range Rover customized with pink wheels, grille, seats and accessories, has not played for his country since inventing the death of two grandmothers to engineer his way home from an international double-header last season."

Indiana and Sampson have reached a settlement of $750,000 to buyout his contract. Earlier it was reported that the players threatened to not play were Sampson to be fired.

When asked about the threat, probable Big 10 player of the year D.J. White said, "I won't say that it's not true." It remains unclear whether or not the players plan on boycotting.

Dan Dakich will be the interim head coach.

With the settlement, Sampson will not be allowed to sue the university, but paying this guy anything is too much. You knew what you were getting Indiana, and you deserve what you got.

Indiana basketball coach Kelvin Sampson is on the ropes, and rightfully so with his track record for NCAA violations. Sampson has reportedly suggested that he will not go quietly, and players have allegedly threatened to quit on the season if Sampson is removed. "We don't care what you do. But if Sampson ain't coaching, we ain't playing."

Sources also say that Sampson has been asked to resign but refused. "It now appears Sampson is daring the school to fire him, and that such a move would almost certainly lead to a lawsuit."

UPDATE: It's been reported that a buyout has been reached. Sampson is out after only two seasons.

As an Oklahoma Sooners fan, I have only one thing to say to Indiana University: Our misfortune is your mistake. Any other school that hires this guy is dancing with the Devil and mortgaging the future of its athletic department, student athletes and reputation.

That's the word on the street. Romo's buddy Michael Starr: "I think they're going to get married."

The yearbook is from Cuban's junior year (1975). That was his last year in high school. There aren't any bids yet. Minimum bid is $40.

Sounds like a good deal, right? But what are you going to do with it? It's pointless. Whoever buys it will probably come to the same conclusion, but not until after they've wasted hundreds of dollars.

Five pictures from Pro Bowl weekend. They are pretty tame but at least they show that Simpson hasn't dumped Mr. Turnover yet. Or maybe Eli isn't returning her calls?

If you're going to shave "down there," don't use a hand-me-down razor.

ARENAS: "Three days later I woke up screaming... raw flesh. I still had to run and play, so I used a numbing spray for a month until it healed."

I think Eli's drive is one of the greatest Super Bowl drives ever. The Legend of Cecilio Guante agrees.

"Combine the stage, the opponent, the circumstances and the cast... and we think Eli's 12-play, 83-yard drive to win Super Bowl XLII has to go down among the legendary drives in NFL history."

Side note: Remember when Eli was on the Chargers? For about five minutes?

Will Ferrell has a new movie coming out about semi-pro basketball. Jackie Moon, Ferrell's character, is a musician who used money from record sales to purchase an ABA team in the '70s. Chances are decent that it'll be at least somewhat funny. But what is guaranteed creepy is Mark Cuban's cameo in one of the film's promo shorts. Cuban talks about losing his virginity: "My first time" -- awkward pause -- "was to Jackie Moon."
