NEW YORK - Clayton Richard finally realized he was on the wrong field.
For 21 years, the 6-foot-5, 240-pound Richard thought he was happiest covered in pads with a football in his hand, leading an offensive charge down the field.

After watching Josh Hamilton's astonishing 28-home run display in the Home Run Derby Monday night, I couldn't help but think that a Pittsburgh Pirate was on the mound for it.
It was 71-year-old Claybon Counsil instead. Still, the Pirates might benefit by giving the batting practice hurler a tryout.

We're closing in on a week since Michigan football coach Rich Rodriguez settled the lawsuit West Virginia filed against him. Do you feel better now? After so many people complained about Rodriguez dragging Michigan through the mud and unnecessarily distracting the Wolverines, are we really better off now that the lawsuit is over? I don't think so.

Just as Drexel was beginning to dominate the conference, lacrosse competition will only get stronger.
UMass and Penn State will be joining the Colonial Athletic Association's men's lacrosse conference in 2010.
My initial reaction, like many others, was to jump to the conclusion that their additions would be purely beneficial to the CAA.

Since arriving on campus June 16, things have been quiet on the Terrelle Pryor front. This is a good thing. This means he is getting down to business and putting in a lot of time in the film and weight rooms. Remind you of anybody? How about 2006 Heisman Trophy Winner, Troy Smith.
