The Raiders appear to be nearing an end to their relationship with former #1 overall pick JaMarcus Russell. First the team signs J.P. Losman, then names Charlie Frye as the starter, and has now sent a moving van to Russell's home. no comments

Major league baseball's offseason is typically filled with news from the big market teams, such as the trade of Roy Halladay to the Phillies. However the Pittsburgh Pirates, a small market club, are looking to make a splash themselves, and have announced that they acquired a brand new hot dog machine for their concession stand. no comments

Much speculation has centered around the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints potentially choosing to play their starters in pursuit of an undefeated season. Clearly feeling left out and suffering from what appears to be an inferiority complex, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Todd Haley has announced that his team will be playing its starters for the remainder of the season in pursuit of a 6-10 record. no comments

Mired in a three day dry spell, Tiger Woods has asked Jesper Parnevik if he knows any available women. Parnevik set Woods up with his wife, Elin Nordgren, who was Parnevik's nanny prior to marrying Woods. With Nordgren apparently out of the country to get away from her unfaithful husband, Woods has reached out to Jesper yet again to hopefully find a woman. no comments

During tonight's ESPNU/Home Depot College Football Awards Show, Nebraska's Ndamukong Suh won the very coveted and prestigious 'Yeah, But He Doesn't Play Offense' Award. Suh most likely put himself over the top for the award with his dominating performance against Texas in the Big 12 Championship Game. no comments

Florida Governor Charlie Crist approached Jacksonville Jaguars management with a suggestion to boost attendance and hopefully help keep the team in Florida.

Baseball's winter meetings are underway, and of course the Yankees are again making the headlines, this time with their role in a three team trade that brought them Curtis Granderson from the Tigers. Several teams have been relatively quiet so far, including the Royals, whose general manager, Dayton Moore, swears he's in attendance at the meetings. no comments

In what looks like a blatant move to protect their brand, Gatorade has announced that Tiger Woods drinks Powerade. This news comes curiously on the heels of Gatorade discontinuing their Tiger Focus product. no comments

The BCS system has been much maligned, often criticized by those in favor of a playoff system as a result of some controversial bowl match-ups and championship games. This year will be no different. Due to a computer error, the BCS has provided more fodder to its opposition, as five teams have been slated to play in the Orange Bowl. no comments

The return of Allen Iverson to the 76ers was sure to be an emotional reunion given his previous history with the franchise and the team's fans. Iverson choked up during a tearful press conference, and became particularly distraught after learning the dismal record of the 76ers. no comments
