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.

Tenn. SEC East Champs Ring Volunteered For Sale

Posted by jason on Jan. 07, 2008, 4:28am

Someone is volunteering to sell a Tennessee championship ring.

Well, SEC championship.

OK, SEC East championship.

The gridiron jewelry up for sale on eBay is from the 2004 Vols season, and apparently is made of 10-karat gold & furnished with cubic zirconium designed to look like diamonds.

The seller will only reveal the player who previously had the ring to the winning bidder. But a Knoxville TV station has a good idea of who it was.
