8:06 PM Chris Mannix of SI.com receives a statement from Floyd Mayweather in which Mayweather claims Manny Pacquiao is afraid to fight him. Or more specifically, has never said himself he wan't to fight him. And so the posturings and semantics have begun.

7:44 PM Remember the "personal problem" that caused Allen Iverson to initially leave the Memphis Grizzlies? David Aldridge reports on NBA.com that Memphis Owner Michael Heisley never knew what is was. Are you as shocked as me?

7:33 PM The Austin American-Stateman reports that the Aug. 7 death of the mother of Drew Brees, 59-year-old Mina Brees, has been ruled a suicide: "Autopsy and investigation found her death was attributed to ingestion of a large quantity of prescription medications." Ms. Brees died at a friend's house.

7:16 PM Norm Clarke of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports, "Manny Pacquiao would be 8-5 favorite against Floyd Mayweather, according to Art Manteris, Station Casinos VP of sports book operations."

AGGIES NAB EX-PACKERS COACH, TUBERVILLE STAYS PUT: Auburn fans can rest easy, as their head coach won’t be taking the next train to College Station.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS gets the newsletter that former Packers coach Mike Sherman has been tabbed by Texas A&M to replace the outgoing Dennis Franchione.Sherman had played QB and spent time as an assistant for the Aggies, last roaming the Kyle Field sidelines in 1996.

The current Houston Texans assistant won’t resume his new duties until after the NFL season. In the meantime, A&M defensive coordinator Gary Darnell will coach the team in their bowl game.

Reveille Texas A&M mascot Tommy Tuberville

The move ends speculation that Tommy Tuberville would be leaving the Auburn Plains for Aggieland. After the Tigers’ 6th straight Iron Bowl win, it’s just the latest national tragedy to befall Nick Saban.
