• A tribute to Chris Webber upon his retirement. [Simon on Sports]
• A Davidson player is majoring in French despite being from France. To be fair, there are plenty of Americans who have useless English degrees. [The Meaningful Collateral]
• Couple days old, but still fun: soccer manager caught doing the naughty stuff on tape. [Unprofessional Foul]
• What maize and blue people (read: Michigan fans) like. Damn Scandinavian stoicism. [EDSBS]
• Sad, sad story: HS cheerleader goes in for breast surgery, dies. [Sports by Brooks]
• Useful reminder that race and racism are still highly visible in sport. Highly recommended. [Sports on My Mind]
• Concerned about how centers tend to get really ticky-tack fouls in college ball? Call it the “Goliath effect.” [Cosellout]
• Interesting insights from a former baseball HOF intern on its new president. [One More Dying Quail]
• Facebook-stalking G’Town guard Jonathan Wallace: dude likes Asian chicks and arm-wrestling girls. Yo, Jon — hit a brother up; let’s go drinking. [Half Court Heave]
• Righteously defending Chad Johnson. [Larry Brown Sports]
• Sexy did not need to be brought back to the ESPYs, but apparently Justin Timberlake is hosting. Not that I watch these things anyway (why watch an awards show days after it was taped?) [Awful Announcing]
