We can watch the clip of Austin Rivers sinking a game-winning bomb over Tyler Zeller all we want, but in playing its worst team defense of the past decade, Duke is still not a national title contender.

As I wrote many times since, I did not write that headline. It was like waving a red flag in the face of the Redskin football fanatics. Since then whenever I have to use the Redskin word I always refer to it as the "R-Word." And why should it not carry the same inference as the "N-Word"?

There are a lot of people that believe the path is already set for them or they don't have options, but none of that is true. If you want something changed, change it yourself. Don't wait for someone else to come along. Only rely on yourself to get you to where you want to be.

The record will show that Fabio Capello, with a win percentage of 66.7%, is one of England's most successful managers ever. For anyone who has followed the national side over the last four years, those figures serve to mask what has been a reign characterised by mismanagement, disappointment and controversy.

Thankfully, for soccer fans in America, Morgan has taken up punditry as a moonlighting gig on the Fox Soccer Channel. He comes to it like a shark.

A mid-season poll of players rated Tom Coughlin "The Coach they'd Least Like to Play For." Bill Belichick came in third. Moral of the story, play for a coach you think you'd like and you can sit home with him and watch the Super Bowl on TV.

If you had any doubt that sports and social media go hand in hand, this week's Super Bowl XLVI should have convinced you.

Nadal and Djokovic have effectively threatened the brilliance of mental acuity and shot-making, exemplified by more cerebral players like Federer and Murray, who favor tactics and touch over drawing errors while running down and wearing out opponents.

The Fair Grounds winner's circle in 2012 is a long way from the deck of Jimmy Buffett's boat the Last Mango II where in 2007, Saints' coach Sean Payton, the Saints' director of communications Greg Bensel and Buffett were chilling.

Before he threw his last pitch, Curt Schilling already had an idea what his next career would be. This week Schilling's 38 Studios has unleashed their first epic game which I can tell you is not a baseball game as you might think.

It was kind of nice for a little bit and then it got really bad, really fast, and I still don't think I've fully recovered. I'm ready for a fresh start and positive change. But all that is a long way off.

We see a brief glimpse of Detroit's city flag and the Latin motto on it. In English, it means "We hope for better things; it shall rise from the ashes." It is as relevant today as when it was written more than two centuries ago.

What went wrong? Pay attention, Gisele. Here's the deal: If there is a God, He's got some pretty big problems going on these days, such as poverty, plagues and starvation.

When I decided to retire I unwittingly removed myself from the famed Schedule B, although, as I've mentioned, I had no idea of its existence or that it bore my name for many years.

During the Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday night, M.I.A. gave the finger to the hundred million fans watching around the world. It didn't last very long, but in the days since the incident, practically everyone except for the singer herself has apologized.

An unfamiliar mixed emotion overtook my 9-year-old son, Gabriel, and me as we watched the New York Giants close out the San Francisco 49ers last Sunday.

If "advertising is dead," like many say, then the two weeks before the Super Bowl are the kind of mortality that American manufacturing would like to experience.
