- Jessica Simpson showed her support for her home state team this past weekend. I don't know about you, but if I had her running around in my school's T looking like that, I'd play a little harder too. (PopSugar)

- Missouri's Martin Rucker is expected to be drafted during the first day of the 2008 NFL Draft, but his hair has already gone pro. I pity da fool who doesn't draft him. (RAMblin' Fan)

- Florida State has fallen off the map when we talk about elite programs now. They're lucky to sniff .500 on a yearly basis. What happened in the last 10 years? Gotta be the shoes! (We Suck at Sports)

- Apparently, the Chicago Bears aren't happy about being the defense in a LaDanian Tomlinson commercial. No word yet from Tank Johnson. (First and 10 Inches)

- As part of an anti-sectarianism campaign, Alistair Devine has put the call out for volunteers to participate in the Stripped Naked project, which will show nude Rangers and Celtic supporters frolicking together on the pitch. The hundreds of fans, both male and female, will only be covered by their club’s scarves. (The Offside)

- Michael Vick used a cue-card of sorts when he held a press conference last month condemning his own actions. Thought to be lost forever, the legendary “apology slip” of Michael Vick has been found. Now, for all you feisty eBayers out there, you can own this slice of history at an affordable price! (CO-ED Magazine)

- Clay Buchholz may have created a buzz in Beantown with his no-no, but that wasn't the first time he had the public all wound up over something he did. Like for example, there was the time he was arrested for stealing 29 laptops from his high school and selling them. (The FanHouse)
