It dawned on me this morning that my Sundays are WIDE open now that the NFL is over. I honestly have no idea what to do with myself. Although, I think my cat will freak out if I'm not there on the couch for hours at a time like I was during the season.

This may be a sign of football withdrawal syndrome, but the day after the NY Giants won the Super Bowl I was searching for 2012 season tickets.

In the wake of Lin's rise in popularity, the first person that the media wants to compare him to is, naturally, the hottest athlete at the moment: Tim Tebow. But for many reasons such a comparison is lazy.

Since winning gold in Barcelona, a huge part of my post-Olympics career has been dedicated to encouraging people to get more active in their day to day lives. And to tell the truth, it's a challenge that is considerably harder than being a competitive athlete.

Up until about halfway through the 08-09 season it was like having any other teammate. Then we played BC a few days after they had just upset North Carolina, the number one team in the country at the time.

For every one of us eager to claim Lin in our racial draft, there's Lin himself, shrugging off the portentous hype because he's too busy making love to pressure to tangle with Asian American identity politics.

Corruption pervades, money talks, the players live in ivory towers, ticket prices keep out the poor, the servants in Downton Abbey are treated better by their masters. Let the England coach be chosen by a referendum of the fans!

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.

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.
