Cliff Lee Says "No" to New York, Dallas; "Yes" to Philadelphia [Dec. 14, 2010] Perhaps the most sought after free agent, Cliff Lee, made his decision last night on where he would pitch - Philadelphia. Lee stunned the sports world, accepting a 5-year, $120 million contract. In doing so, the stud pitcher left around $50 million on the table from the Yankees.

[Sep. 15, 2010] An August study from Boston University suggests that athletes who have had multiple head injuries, and possibly others such as military veterans exposed to repetitive brain traumas, may be prone to developing a disabling neurological disease similar to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease (Photo/Article: Boston.com). Concussions and injuries an uncomfortale reality of football. [Sep. 15, 2010] Look at the ratings from the NFL's first week. Football popularity is at all all-time high. While fans love this contact sport, the reality is that concussions are a part of the sport regardless of the technology and precautions put in place, as Winston Justice notes in his weekly contribution to Philly.com (Photo: Philly.com). UNC's Draughn cleared to play vs. Georgia Tech. [Sep. 14, 2010] 1 down, 12 to go. On Monday, running back Shaun Draugh became the first of 13 UNC football players to be re-instated to the team, following a mass suspension due to "academic misconduct." The Tar Heels running back is expected to play this Saturday when UNC hosts Georgia Tech (11AM, ESPN 1160; Photo:Zimbio; Article: InsideCarolina.com). Tucker: All 4 NFC East teams will finish above .500. [Aug. 31, 2010] Count former Washington Redksins offensive lineman Ross Tucker as one of those who does not believe the NFC East's collective pre-season clunkers will translate to the regular season. In fact, Tucker believes all four teams will finish above .500 and each could win the division (Photo/Article: SI.com). Evernham: Little E needs to work on better feedback with crew chief. [Aug. 25, 2010] As NASCAR's Chase for the Championship approaces, many fans have grown frustrated as Dale Earnhardt Junior appears destined to sit on the outside looking in at the 12 driver dash for the Championship. According to former Championship winning Crew Chief Ray Evernham, the son and namesake of the late Dale Earnhardt Sr. needs to work on giving better feedback with his crew chiefs rather than arguing with them (Photo/Article: SceneDaily.com). Braves continue magic and skill by clubbing Nationals 10-2. [Aug. 18, 2010] Diory Hernandez, freshly called-up from AAA Gwinett, belted a pinch-hit 3-run home run to spark Atlanta to a four run sixth and a 10-2 victory over the Washington Nationals. The Braves, who have a great pitching stiff and timely hitting, continue to make big plays at big times in a season where they may have caught lightening in a bottle. With the win, Atlanta maintains a 2.5 game lead over Philly in the NL East (Photo/Article: AJC.com). Harvick clinches spot in Chase with win at Michigan. [Aug. 16, 2010] In another relatively bland race at Michigan, Kevin Harvick piloted a dominant car to victory lane at the 2-mile oval for his third Cup win in 2010. With his prior victories both coming on restrictor plate tracks, Harvick's impressive effort not only clinched him a spot in Nascar's Chase for the Championship, it also helped the 29 team justify themselves as Championship contenders (Photo: Getty Images/ Article: SI.com). Braves clobber fading Dodgers 13-1, take 2 of 3. [Aug. 16, 2010] Troy Glaus belted a 3-run home run, drove in four runs, and helped back 7 solid innings from Jair Jurgens as Atlanta clubbed the L.A.

Montoya's win at "The Glen" snaps winless drought. [Aug. 9, 2010] Since his victory at Sonoma in June 2007, Juan Pablo Montoya has endured 113 races with out a trip to victory lane. Many of those non-wins have contained heartbreaking losses, missed calls and horrible fortune. None of that plagued Montoya Sunday as he beat 2nd place Kurt Busch to the finish line by 4.5 seconds to win at Watkins Glenn (Photo/Article: SI.com). Princeton Review: University of Georgia is #1 (Party School). [Aug. 3, 2010] So the term "World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party," actually held some legitimacy. The former nickname for the annual SEC football game featuring the Florida Gators and Georgia Bulldogs was pulled in the mid 2000s in an effort to curb student drinking. That worked (sarcasm implied). According to the Princeton Review, the University of Georgia is ranked the #1 party school in the nation. 3 other SEC schools (including Florida at #7) also made the list (Photo: BaltimoreSun.com; Article: AJC.com). Gauging "Drive for Diversity" success.
