Morris: Jersey-gate could have been avoided (Spurrier)
Morris: Jersey-gate could have been avoided Maybe it is because coaches become adept at making split-second decisions during games.

Beneath rivalry lies history of friendship
Beneath rivalry lies history of friendship Nolan Smith distinctly remembers the high school game when he followed teammate Ty Lawson’s score with one of his own. Then he watched Lawson steal the ball on defense and dribble all the way back to convert, again. It was a familiar scenario for the Oak Hill Academy guards.…

Duke-North Carolina remains the standard for college basketball Two days after Alex Rodriguez, we get Dick Vitale on steroids for North Carolina at Duke. So that makes it Psycho V (Vitale), vs. Psycho T (North Carolina’s Tyler Hansbrough) vs. Psycho Fans (Cameron Crazies). Tonight’s game represents the closest ESPN can get to bringing you an…

Notables aplenty in Frank Melton courtroom; alas, Herman’s Hermits not there
Notables aplenty in courtroom; alas, Herman’s Hermits not there Reluctant witness Michael Taylor was, at times, hard to understand. He gave evasive answers and mumbled.

MITCHELL – Tale of corruption, greed might not be over
Tale of corruption, greed might not be over “The system needs purging,” said Clarksdale lawyer Charlie Merkel, lead counsel for one of Scruggs’ former law partners, Bob Wilson. “I would hope any leads developed through Scruggs’ cooperation that implicate other public officials or others who tried to influence public officials will be followed up and…
