9:00 PM Chris Johnson is a very fast man. But Rajon Rondo wants to see for himself. The blog Red's Army reports that the Celtics guard has challenged the Titans RB to a race, with the winner getting $2,000. CJ tweets back: "that's easy money set it up on espn."

8:45 PM We always hear about Cuban baseball players defecting to the U.S., but Cuban umpires? The AP reports that Nelson Diaz arrived in Miami on Sunday with his wife & two daughters. He was to work the 2009 WBC, but Cuban officials said they "didn't trust him".

8:30 PM La Salle University has reached a settlement to pay the family of former football player Preston Plevretes $7.5 million for medical care. Plevretes suffered a serious brain injury during a 2005 game. La Salle dropped its football program in 2007.

8:15 PM Florida Panthers defenseman Keith Ballard demonstrates his disgust at allowing an Atlanta Thrashers goal by swinging his stick at the goalpost - only to take out goalie teammate Tomas Voukon. Voukon had to leave the ice on a stretcher. (H/T Litter Box Cats)

Sypher Tapes Released: Will Pitino Resign Today?

Posted by Brooks on Aug. 26, 2009, 2:50pm

Rick Pitino has called a hastily-arranged 3p ET press conference today, on the same day that tapes of Karen Sypher were released to the public.

WLKY reports: “In the tapes, Sypher details allegations she made against University of Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino.”

Coincidence? We’ll know in a minute or two…

UPDATE: He didn’t resign, read my Twitter for a summary of his once-again frighteningly narcissistic comments. (Don’t ask me how, but Ted Kennedy came up several times.)
