Yep.

So now LeBron James says he wouldn't mind trying his hand at football. And Browns coach Eric Mangini says he wouldn't mind seeing him try it. Two questions for King James. Football? The Browns.

... and I'm sorry, but I don't believe her.Remember Elizabeth Lambert, the New Mexico soccer player/cementhead immortalized on YouTube for yanking an opponent to the ground by her ponytail.

Question: If there's no crying in baseball (as Hanks famously told us in A League Of Their Own) how can there by crying in football?And yet here was Jets coach Rex Ryan, openly admitting that he cried Monday during a team meeting after the Jets' 24-22 loss to Jacksonville.

This just in from the proud mom of Jordan Applegate, a senior lineman for Ball State and a former Snider standout: He's not just playing tonight against Central Michigan on Senior Night.

LeBron James is as wrong as John Kruk in a Speedo. It seems LeBron James is going to ditch his No. 23 next season to honor Michael Jordan, which is a nice little gesture for those of us who like to see young people respect their elders. But his conviction that the NBA should retire it league-wide is a gesture too far.

Exit Jon Gruden, apparently.Hate to break more bad news to people who've heard too much lately, but ESPN locked Gruden into a multiyear deal today, which would seem to indicate he's in no hurry to get back on a sideline again -- including Notre Dame's.

Remember last week, when I intimated that people were being a little too hasty about shoving Charlie Weis out the door?Well, I might have been ... a little too hasty.

Not a good 25 years for Indiana QBs.

A couple of food vendors at The Luke are in, um, hot water.

... which is, I have nothing to say.He put out the word the other night that he's not answering any more questions this season about his impending free agency. Then he immediately went to Miami and had to answer some more questions about his impending free agency.

I'll give Notre Dame co-defensive coordinator Corwin Brown the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he's just not an adage guy.If he were, he surely would have known this one: When you win, say little. When you lose, say less.

Reaction to Lambert "sock-her" video is revealing.

So it's the day before Veteran's Day and I've got ESPN on the tube while the coffee brews, and once again I'm hearing one of their on-air poodles (I don't know who; they all run together after awhile) talk about how much football borrows from the culture of war and the military.

She got one yellow card, and it wasn't even for yanking the one woman down by her hair or throwing a 1-2 combination at another.

This is one of those stories you won't believe until I tell you why you should.It comes from Rhode Island, where a brawl broke out at a girls high school soccer match.
