Yankee front office personnel are concerned that by signing an 8-year contract extension with the Minnesota Twins, Joe Mauer could be prevented from playing for the Yankees next season.

Georgia authorities have yet to speak with Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger regarding allegations that he sexually assaulted a college student.

It is the job of the college basketball analyst, or bracketologist, to correctly predict which NCAA bubble teams deserve to be in, and which should be out of the tournament. But after years of telling teams they aren't good enough, Joe Lunardi of ESPN has become more sensitive to the feelings of rejected teams, and believes everyone on the bubble deserves a bid for this year's field of 65.

With so many things on his plate during a busy off-season, Vikings head coach Brad Childress says he has been unable to find the time to talk with back-up quarterback Tarvaris Jackson.
