"This is the biggest opportunity of my basketball career," Jardine said. "To be able to help the national team and to get my foot in the door with the [national team] program, it's huge.

Broncos Hall of Famer Little still dreams of playing - The Denver Post
"I mean, I wake up tired, almost. But I still have dreams from time to time that I'm in the game, Charley Johnson is always the quarterback, I'm always running off tackle, catching a screen, returning a punt or a kickoff. I don't know, maybe I still have those dreams because so many have come true."
Wesseling: 10 NFL rookies who’ll shine, and 10 who’ll stink - NFL- nbcsports.msnbc.com
A big, physical receiver providing breakaway speed, deep-ball skills, and a presence in the red zone, Mike Williams’ circus catches appeared to vault him past second-rounder Arrelious Benn in offseason practices. The Bucs will open up the two starting receiver spots to competition next month, and it’s possible both rookies will win out. With a better grasp of the offense and more natural ability, Williams is a better than Benn to emerge as the No. 1 receiver.
Patrick Ramsey expected to sign with the Saints
The Saints are poised to sign Ramsey this week. His addition is expected to be an insurance policy, should Brees sit out for a period of time.

Fabio Periera: Ten Minutes With Eric Wing
In 2005 I picked the Chicago White Sox to win and around the same time I had Syracuse winning the NCAA tournament. But I have to admit that that was largely a function of me predicting that Carmelo Anthony would turn out to be a good college basketball player, which he did. (Which is weird cause that was 2003)

Federal judge who rules cheerleading is not a sport under Title IX should toss his decision
After being accepted into Syracuse University last year, I participated in a D1 cheerleading tryout. The three-day tryouts were extremely painful and challenging. The coaches for the college squad were looking for girls who were very advanced in gymnastics and stunting; they were looking for nothing less than greatness. If I had any doubts about whether cheerleading qualified as a sport, those three days quickly changed my outlook. I felt like I had a better chance of making the football team - maybe that squad would have been a little more accepting.

“What don’t I like about summer? Everything. The babysitting, the ass-kissing. Does that cover it?’’
says that was Jimmy B
“Give me April and time in July off the road so I can be with my players,‘’ another said, combining the two biggest complaints. "Everyone likes to talk about the APR [Academic Progress Rate] and they want to hold us accountable for the APR. Well, let me be on campus in the summer when my guys are getting started. Let me make sure they get off on the right foot.’’
also prob jim
I don't know about that
But this one sounds like his type of humor and delivery:
However, the silly bump rule can get downright dirty if taken to the extreme. Most of the NCAA reps are women, and women can’t go into men’s rooms. There’s a real paranoia that some coaches are following prospects or their coaches or parents into the restrooms to broker deals.
“I don’t know. I’ve never won a recruit in the bathroom,‘’ one coach said. "Maybe I need to pee more.’’
Definitely Jimmy
“Well, everybody talks about you. You do this long enough, someone is going to say something bad about you. Last year someone said I didn’t go to practice.’’
Added another: "I know this: I’m glad I’m not 40 and just getting started in this business. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but I would say I’m a little more pessimistic about things than I was a few years ago. It just seems like we can’t stop it. The bad guys keep winning.’’
“I had six kids leave early. The ones who were all-in went [top 10]; the ones who had one foot out the door went late”
The first one I think could be him as well, and I was trying to figure out how many people Jimmy’s had leave early. I came up with: Owens, Carmelo, Greene, Flynn, Wes, Pearl. So basically that leaves Donte and Pearl as the only drafted out of the top 10, and Pearl was 13th.
Without Gerry McNamara we wouldn't have won 10 f-- games, not 10
