Until today, I had my doubts about the veracity of adult film performer Josyln James’ claim that she had sexual relationship with Tiger Woods while the golfer was married. But based on texts she released Thursday, I’m now inclined to believe her.

ESPN’s Trey Wingo and Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel spoke to the BW3 franchisee convention in Orlando today.

Wingo and Tressel are contracted endorsers of the bar food chain, which probably saved the company $75,000 in appearances fees. (Wingo: $25,000, Tressel $50,000+)

No problem with guys makin’ that paper, but I’m still a little miffed at […]

Stewart Mandel of SPORTS ILLUSTRATED has an extensive update on the prospect of the NCAA basketball tournament expanding to 96 teams. A month ago I reported that the expansion of the tournament will happen, and Mandel’s lengthy examination of the subject doesn’t suggest otherwise.
