You've Got To Be Joking

Sit back and relax as you enjoy this week's Sports Shorts.

Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers is the star of a new video for the Pure Love Club, an organization that advocates saving one's self for marriage. It’s an unusual affiliation for a guy who spends so much of his time flat on his back.

NCAA Division II delegates have approved a pilot program allowing Canadian schools to apply for membership as soon as June 1. The new division will henceforth be known as the NC-Eh-Eh.

NASCAR is considering raising the minimum age for drivers in the Sprint Cup Series from 18 to 21. It’s hoped the new age restriction will produce a much more mature and professional class of rednecks.

Knicks guard Stephon Marbury is scheduled to go under the knife for season-ending surgery. Unfortunately the surgery will be on his left ankle and not his brain.

Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter has said that he wants to go back to college to get his degree when he's done playing. That’s just what Jeter needs - another place to meet women.

Bobby Knight has become the first men's Division I coach to reach 900 victories. It’s an impressive milestone for a man who has often seemed more interested in throttling his players than in coaching them.

Bulls rookie JamesOn Curry was arrested and charged with misdemeanor counts of urinating in public. When asked for a reaction, Curry freely admitted that he was pissed off. Luckily the incident happened in Boise, so it actually improved the smell of the city.

New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick has said he supports wide receiver Randy Moss in the wake of damaging battery allegations. In fact, Belichick even has the tapes to prove he’s innocent.

Golfweek has fired its longtime editor Dave Seanor after he placed an image of a noose on the magazine’s cover. Apparently lynching him wasn’t an option. All things considered, it’s still much more tasteful than a topless photo of John Daly.

Former chess master Bobby Fisher has died at the age of 64. This is one move fellow competitors never saw coming.

Washington Wizards center Etan Thomas said he hopes to return from open heart surgery this season. God knows, he certainly wouldn’t be the only NBA player out there with an enlarged organ.

Dan Marino's cell phone went off twice on CBS' Sprint Halftime Report. Incidentally, that’s two more phone calls than FOX’s Terry Bradshaw got all month.

Ask Ryan - Fit As A Fiddle

Welcome back for another edition of Ask Ryan, the column where sports and entertainment go together like Tom Brady and swooning women. This week's mailbag is bursting at the seams with queries about the history of the rally cap, which sport has the world's most physically fit athletes and the identity of Verizon's omnipresent "Test Man."

You've Got To Be Joking


Sit back and relax as you enjoy this week's sports shorts.

Brett Favre admitted to being woozy, confused and disoriented after taking an elbow to the head in Green Bay’s 34-0 victory against Minnesota. Now he knows how Terry Bradshaw feels every day of his life.

A local real estate magnate remains poised to buy the Minnesota Timberwolves if they become available. He must really love amateur athletics.

The NFL plans to keep about 70% of U.S. households from being able to see the New England Patriot’s final match by restricting the broadcast to its own cable channel. Luckily for fans, Bill Belichick will be taping the game.

The Philadelphia Phillies acquired closer Brad Lidge and infielder Eric Bruntlett from the Astros for three players. The deal was completed so quickly that Scott Boras didn’t even have the chance to interrupt it with an announcement about Alex Rodriguez.

Dallas center Mike Modano broke Phil Housley's NHL record for career points by an American-born player. Sadly, being the best American hockey player is almost as worthless as having the best tan in a leper colony.

A new study has shown that NCAA football games are 3:21 longer than they were a year before. Notre Dame has offered to speed things up by simply punting on the first down.

A new study has shown that having an enlarged heart is the biggest cause of sudden death among young athletes. Luckily that shouldn’t affect anyone on the Miami Dolphins since they’ve repeatedly shown that they have no heart at all.

Baseball general managers have decided that first- and third-base coaches will wear some sort of head protection during games next season. Where was this rule when Don Zimmer really needed it?

Sam Hornish Jr. has announced he’ll be moving to NASCAR in 2008. The three-time Indy Car Series champ is expected to spend the next two months living in a trailer and dating his sister so he’ll truly be prepared for the experience.

Ask Ryan - Swinging For The Fences

Hi Gang,
Welcome back for another edition of Ask Ryan, the column where sports and entertainment go together like football and tailgating. This week's mailbag is bursting at the seams with queries about baseball's most overpriced superstars, Reggie Jackson's first run-in with a professional scout and Bill Belichick's unrelenting drive to the Super Bowl.
