A Pitino Rumor from the Big Apple        
Do you really think that, as the New York Daily News is suggesting in a story today, that Rick Pitino wants to leave town and coach the New Jersey Nets? I don't think he likes T-Will that much. U of L, of course, has its denials all ready to go. ... more

Lamest sex scandal EVER raises questions        
When a bronze-winning snowboarder has to flee the Olympics because of "racy photos" -- well, you expect something pretty racy.
