We are trying desperately to avoid the "news" about A-Rod using steroids, but SI.com does have a funny collection of New York newspaper headlines expressing, in their own inimitable way, that they are displeased. We wonder... What if the sainted Derek Jeter had admitted that he juiced (perish the thought!)? How different would the coverage be? You think Giambi got off easy?
The Roger Clemens story will be a lot more fun. That's the big one. A-Rod after all, only lied to the press and public. That's bad. But Clemens, an egomaniac and bully convinced he can fool all the people all of the time, is being investigated for lying to Congress. That's very, very bad. The Rocket may not go to jail, but he will pay millions fighting the case. And, seriously, anyone who thinks Roger Clemens has "more than enough money" has never gotten into a pissing match with the Federal Government.
Texas Tech continues to behave bizarrely towards head coach Mike Leach threatening to fire him if he doesn't sign a contract extension that includes all sorts of weird provisions, stipulations and potential penalties. It's a very weird way to treat the guy who just gave your football program it's best year in 100-something years of existence.
Lil' Wayne is so psyched about writing a blog for ESPN that he got the Worldwide Leader's logo tattooed on his forearm. We admire anyone that fired up about blogging, but aren't that impressed for ESPN. People have been getting Playboy tats for years, decades even.
