At least according to CBS Sportsline's Gamecenter.

Former Super Bowl winning defensive back Clayton Holmes gives advice to incoming NFL rookies, based on his past mistakes as an NFL star. Once a week he'll write a column at BC Sports until the NFL Draft, and in his first installment, Holmes preaches the value of saying "no" when people ask for money.

Parodying "Novocaine For The Soul" by The Eels, in tribute of Roger Clemens' response to HGH allegations.

A hearty +1 to Dan Royer, Mud hens graphic designer, for not only getting paid to Photoshop, but coming up with Alex Rodriguez' Hall of Fame plaque should he choose to sign with the Toledo Mud Hens.

It's Craig Biggio's last chance to catch. Lou Piniella's last chance to yell at people. Barry Bonds' last chance to be liked by a team. Julio Franco's last chance to play without AARP eligibility.

The Cleveland Indians pitcher is apparently keeping a journal of his road exploits, and it's real, dude. It's hardcore. It's unsweetened Paul Byrd, in a way you've never seen him before. And if you've never seen Paul Byrd before, then get ready for the ride of your life.

Illinois Senator Barack Obama: "Naysayers may assert that Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson is an unproven talent and should not be drafted high, but to the contrary, he has accomplished a lot during his college years, and has the talent to be a Pro Bowl receiver this year. Draft him in the first round, and he will lead your team to great new heights."

After Brian Urlacher becomes the latest flawed parent-athlete to come to light, BC's own Tuffy outlines his squeaky brand new adult course for athletes on how to be a better parent. (a.k.a. "Tuffy's Simple Guide to Avoid Raising an Emotionally Distant Felon Without Exercise or Dieting")

Twice in Tuesday night's game against the Detroit Tigers, Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Rafael Betancourt's unusually long, frustrating windup invoked a normally dormant rule that one must throw the ball within 12 seconds if nobody's on base, or have it be called a ball. And we're just _now_ using this rule?

When debating the ESPY winner for Best Female Athlete, I was all ready to begin lauding Arizona University softball pitcher Taryne Mowatt, for the obvious statistical and physical reasons. Then along comes Skip Bayless, saying what I was about to say, and then adding "and she's cute too." Guh! Unclean images.

Yardbarker's own O.B. -- original blogger -- Mike Conley Jr. may be providing insight into his pre-draft days, but he's also revealing way too much about how much he uses grammar. Although this lack of capitalization should come as little shock. After all, he did receive one year of education at Ohio State. They show you commas in the 200 level courses.

BC Sports contributing editor Sal Marinello gives Giambi some unsolicited advice when he testifies. He won't have to name names, just explain the process athletes use to get performance enhancers.

The Detroit Tigers pitcher is living out one of his childhood dreams when his team goes to Atlanta to play the Braves this weekend. Tonight he'll give the weather report for the series on the Weather Channel. Hey, hope he doesn't get traded before that!

Sonya Thomas and Juliet Lee are two women, each weighing less than 110 pounds, who can eat over 25 hot dogs in 12 minutes. So I guess the assertion that "that girl can eat a lot of weiners" is no longer an insult on a woman's figure or loose morals. Rather, it's a compliment!

After the Indians almost came back from seven runs down to Seattle, something jogged my memory. In 2001, Ichiro and the Mariners blew a historic 12-run lead in the 7th inning and went on to lose perhaps a 117-win season. No wonder Ichiro wants to punch Ichiro in the face.
