Why in the world would Nike want Michael Vick on their roster of spokesballers?
That's probably the question that most were asking yesterday, when word from Vick's agent indicated that the troubled QB was back with Nike. As a matter of fact, that's a question Nike ended-up asking themselves... eventually answering, "We don't."...
The New England Patriots aren't exactly known for doing things "by the book" (or even by the "letter of the law," while I'm spouting cliches).
So it shouldn't come as a surprise that, in an age where professional and collegiate sports teams are banning Twitter and developing strict social media policies, Belichick's Bunch is embracing the latest tech trend.....
Allow me to generalize; Usually, sports movies fall into one of three categories: The inspirational, campy and horribly-predictable flicks; the "real life," gritty portrayals; or the over-the-top spoof or slapstick-comedy-type fare.
But 'Big Fan,' the directorial debut from Robert Siegel (who penned 2008's The Wrestler), doesn't quite fit into any sport movie stereotype....
You remember the days when fantasy owners could trot out guys like Priest Holmes, Shaun Alexander and LaDainian Tomlinson every week, without question? Of course that was long before the two-back system became the bee's knees.
And for a few years, the use of "change-of-pace" RBs became the bane of fantasy owners. But a week into the 2009 season, it looks like there's a handful of guys poised to be productive fantasy back-ups in a timeshare situation...

It looks like the folks over at FX are harnessing that drama for a new "semi-scripted" show....
In honor of tonight's Midsummer Classic, we'll be featuring a two-time All-Star in this, the first edition of "The Name Drop."
A rookie in '87, Ron Gant played a major role in the Atlanta Braves worst-to-first season in 1991. He was a two-time 30/30 clubber ('90 and '91) and currently ranks 97th on the all-time homeruns list with 321....
How do you lose a 245 pound, Cy Young Award winner? Ask the Chicago White Sox.

Love 'em or hate 'em, the Nike-designed Oregon football uniforms have been burning retinas for more than a decade. They've been covered in tread patterns, camouflaged, even given their own signature typeface, and now, they've got wings.
On Tuesday, the University of Oregon unveiled a new set of simplified, solid-colored uniform with tattoo-esque wings adorning their shoulders...
Is it just me, or is Kobe Bryant everywhere?
Aside from the Lakers' quest for a 15th NBA Championship, Kobe's been on Sesame Street, 'did work' in a Spike Lee joint, been puppet-ized for Nike and was the subject of a Lil' Wayne tribute jam.
And while he may have lost his place on Mickael Pietrus' feet, Kobe has been named as the cover athlete for 2K Sports NBA 2K10....
