Jerry Lawler on The Game
Q&A with Queen Sharmell
Sharmell Sullivan-Huffman has described herself as “nerdy” and a “shy bookworm” during her high school days, but she certainly came out of her shell later.

Levesque battles back into ring
John Cena and Randy Orton are battling in SummerSlam's main event, but there's no question who the real headliner of Sunday's World Wrestling Entertainment pay-per- view show is.
Paul "Triple H" Levesque will appear in a WWE ring against King Booker for the first time since tearing his right quadriceps during January's New Year's Revolution pay-per-view show.

Open Scoring to Save Boxing?
My plan to resuscitate boxing is so simple and so certain to work that nobody will believe I came up with it.

NFL Commissioner's Statement Concerning Michael Vick
...The commissioner said Vick's admitted conduct was "not only illegal but also cruel and reprehensible." Even if he didn't personally placed bets, Goodell said, "your actions in funding the betting and your association with illegal gambling both violate the terms of your NFL player contract and expose you to corrupting influences in derogation of one of the most fundamental responsibilities of an NFL player."

Kevin Nash Interview
Wade Keller recently interviewed Kevin Nash on the fallout of the Benoit tragedy. Here are some of the highlights:
Nash thought that WWE were taking a big chance with the tribute show in case Benoit was involved. He said the decision was made on emotion and not logic and that it was more to help the guys than for a tribute show for the fans.
