Doug Weight To Miss Remainder of Season, Ponder Retirement

The question of whether or not New York Islanders captain Doug Weight would play again this season has been answered.
Weight will not return this year and it's possible this might have been his last lap on the NHL circuit. 
His tenure on Long Island hasn't exactly gone according to plan. Weight has been plagued with various injuries during his time with the Islanders, limiting him to just 107 games played over the last three seasons.
In that time, he's managed just 63 points, though his age and health likely compromised his offensive production. 
Weight could not re-create the chemistry

SEC Football Fans Should Hope Ohio State Gets Reamed by the NCAA

107929584_crop_340x234.jpg?1301259318  

Ohio State head football coach Jim Tressel may buy his sweater vests in bulk, but apparently integrity is sold separately.
Friday's revelation that Tressel emailed a mentor of quarterback Terrelle Pryor in an attempt to protect his player's eligibility undermined his initial defense that he kept his knowledge confidential so as to avoid interference with a federal investigation.  It also destroyed whatever shred of credibility Tressel had left.
Tressel’s pointless and confusing initial press conference that lacked anything resembling contrition for his admitted flagrant disregard for NCAA rules. 
In between the spin job, circular reasoning and overactive use of passive

NHL unlikely to get closer to ending little disclosure on injuries

img14850627.jpg 

Washington Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau, encircled by reporters earlier this week, was asked about a dozen different ways why star forward Alexander Ovechkin will be out of the lineup up to 10 days.
"He's sore," Boudreau smirked. "You guys are trying."
Boudreau, under NHL rules, doesn't have to be any more specific, although some teams offer up vague descriptions -- usually "upper body" and "lower body" -- to explain why a player is sidelined. This hazy area of injury reporting, in place mostly so players' injuries aren't targeted on the ice, is allowed to persist for one major reason: sports

Frazier glad kickoff changes will be examined

 

There were many upset NFL coaches a year ago when owners surprised them by voting early on a change to the overtime rule for the postseason during the NFL meetings. Approval of the format came with the coaches on the golf course and left many of them feeling blindsided.
Evidently that isn't going to happen again.
NFL owners are expected to vote Tuesday on changes to the rules for kickoffs that are considered drastic. Done largely because of injury concerns, the initial suggestion from the competition committee included moving kickoffs from the 30-yard line to the 35; allowing only the

CCHA: Ian Slater and Championship Weekend Capsules

 

Western Michigan captain Ian Slater isn’t a guy you’d pick out of the lineup on the stat sheet, with an 8-8-16 line on the year and a 16-15-31 line in 109 career games. But if you had to pick a single player who typifies the pride that the Broncos have always taken in their game, and, even more so, the resurgence of the program this year, Slater is your guy.
First year head coach Jeff Blashill named the junior from Satellite Beach, Fla. (yes, you read that right) the captain after seeing Slater take the lead with summer workouts and

Cox: NHL justice protects thugs, ignores victims

 

“Mommy, why is he crying,” she queried as she watched Todd Bertuzzi bawling in the days after he brutally ended Steve Moore’s hockey career seven years ago.
Well, that girl is now 16 years old, and not much has changed. In fact, it’s pretty clear that what was billed as a sport-changing event didn’t alter much at all.
Bertuzzi’s tears, and the sympathy for him from those who condone hockey’s vigilante spirit, were symptomatic of a league and a sport that had its priorities all wrong and still does, a league so fixated on protecting the rights of the aggressor
