Charles Barkley says carrying gun gives 'sense of peace' - USATODAY - TNT NBA analyst Charles Barkley, saying he feels safer carrying a gun, says the issue in the wake of the murder-suicide committed Saturday by Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher is domestic violence, not gun control. - "There's never a reason to hit a woman, touch a woman, or obviously kill a woman," Barkley tells USA TODAY Sports.
Cam Newton didn't make many friends at the 2012 Pro Bowl - USATODAY - Cam Newton's bad attitude made him a target at his first Pro Bowl, according to unidentified players who spoke to Pete Prisco of CBS Sports. - In a timely article about last January's all-star game, Prisco describes how Newton's me-first attitude alienated him from other Pro Bowlers and caused some to play harder when he was under center. Antonio Smith of the Houston Texans had the audacity to throw Newton to the ground during the third quarter, almost as if he were playing in a real football game.
UGA-Bama was most-watched TV game of college season | UGA sports blog - Tim Tucker - The CBS telecast of Saturday’s game from the Georgia Dome posted a national Nielsen rating of 9.8, meaning 9.8 percent of U.S. households with televisions tuned in on average. Previously, the highest rated game of the college season was the Nov. 24 Notre Dame-USC game, which posted a 9.4 national rating. - CBS said the SEC title game averaged 16.2 million viewers across the country, peaking at 21.8 million for the final half hour of the telecast.
Why did Bret Bielema leave Wisconsin for Arkansas? - Dan Wolken/USATODAY - So why would Bielema, who compiled a 68-24 record at Wisconsin, abandon one of the better jobs in the Big Ten for a middle-of-the-pack job in the SEC? Why would a native of Illinois who played at Iowa and lived his entire life in the Midwest leave his comfort zone for more rugged football territory? And why would he do it now, after clinching Wisconsin's third straight Rose Bowl berth last Saturday night? - This is a guy, after all, who told the Sporting News earlier this year, "We at the Big Ten don't want to be like the SEC – in any way, shape or form," in response to the aggressive recruiting tactics. Now he's going to dive headlong into the snake pit of the SEC West? - But understand this about the coaching business, especially these days: It's always better to leave a couple years too soon than stay a couple years too long.
