For the NCAA to come out and say that Jim Tressel lied to them is a tell-tale sign we've only seen the tip of the iceberg. The NCAA isn't exactly known for its backbone. The only reason they are saying this so strongly is because they obviously have something in cement. Next: Another Tressel apology. But it won't mean anything. His job is in jeopardy.


- It's down to either the Predators or Sharks in the next round for the Red Wings. I see the Preds as the better option. They don't have the skill of the Sharks - and the travel would be more tolerable for the Red Wings.

- Did you know Jimmy Smith was a fifth-year senior at Colorado? That he had just three interceptions, three fumble recoveries, three forced fumbles and no sacks in more than 2,900 plays at Colorado? That the media that covers the Big 12 regularly thought so little of his performance, he wasn't even on their All-Big 12 first-team in 2010. That he was just a three-star recruit coming out of high school?
Is Jimmy Smith a player or an urban legend? Seems more like the latter. Any team selecting him in the first round would be reaching.
