NBA Finals Game 7 Live Blog: Lakers Pound Glass, But Celtics Lead Early

-There’s superstition, and then there’s letting Christina Aguilera sing the national anthem for the second night in a row. On the one hand, she kind of sucks at singing. On the other hand, the Lakers’ crowd was louder than I’ve ever heard it in Game 6, and they’ll probably have to be just as loud tonight.

When Amani Toomer Passes You, It’s Okay; It’s For A Good Cause

When most people run races for charity, the idea goes that you raise money per mile, or perhaps by breaking a certain time threshold. But Amani Toomer played professional football for 14 seasons. There needs to be a more outwardly competitive element to maintain his interest. After all, if you’ve ever spent time around long-distance runners, you know an unsettling culture of supporting one another that doesn’t exist in many other sports. So when Toomer, who spent his entire playing career with the New York Giants, runs the New York Marathon this fall to benefit to benefit the New York Road Runners youth programs, he’s basing the amount he raises on the number of people he passes on the course. Probably good then that he starting last. When you consider more than 43,000 runners took part in last year’s race, that’s a potentially nice windfall for the youth program. And if passing tens of thousands of runners isn’t enough, Toomer wants to be the four hour, 26 minute time Lynn Swann finished with 17 years ago, when he was the last NFL player to take part in the race.

NFL, NFLPA Strip The Jaguars One Week Of OTAs For Rules Violations

As many people may not know, OTAs in the NFL are non-contact and there are certain other limitations for the practices such as how long the players can be on the field. In 2007, the Raiders were busted for violating those rules. Three years passed before another team was caught breaking the OTA rules. This year, as the league and the union enter into CBA negotiations, two teams — Raiders and Ravens — have been penalized for violating the rules. Today, the Jaguars make three. “The NFL Management Council and the NFL Players Association have resolved a complaint by the Players Association against the Jacksonville Jaguars concerning violations of the Collective Bargaining Agreement’s offseason workout rules,” the NFL said in a statement to be released Thursday morning. “It was determined that the Jaguars violated the rules concerning the intensity and tempo of drills conducted on the club’s organized team activity days (“OTA days”). “As a result, the Jaguars will forfeit a week of their offseason program (June 21-25, 2010). Jaguars players are not permitted to be at the facility on those days, but will be paid for the sessions. The club cannot reschedule the cancelled days.” The most likely way this goes down is that a player feels the practice is too intense or that the team has violated the spirit of OTAs in some fashion. They would then tell the NFLPA, who would approach it with the league.

Celebrity Hair Showdown: Tom Brady vs. Justin Bieber

Looks like Tom Brady has come down a bad case of Bieber Fever – and the only prescription is emulating the teen heart throb’s signature bangs. Or something. Just as his wife, new mom Gisele Bundchen, made her comeback on the catwalk in Brazil, the NFL star made his own debut – a Justin Bieber-esque bowl cut. The overgrown mop is a far cry from the slick, neat look usually sported by the shortly-coiffed Brady, but gotta give Brady credit for embracing the inevitable. Justin Bieber consumes us all. It’s hard to think of anyone but the “Baby”-faced singer when you look at the athlete. So we have to ask: Who do you think has the better hair? Vote below! Who has better hair?

Vince Young Arrested in Strip Club Fight, Asks God to Please Prevent NFL Suspension

Following a melee at a local strip joint, Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young was issued a Class C assault citation in Dallas, Texas, early Sunday morning. No arrests are planned and the former University of Texas star’s citation , while for a misdemeanor charge, likely will entail a fine that he will pay and that’s it. The incident is said to have occurred at a Dallas strip club early Sunday morning after a man at the venue insulted, verbally or otherwise, Young’s alma mater. A Dallas police source said that Vince Young was attempting to exchange cash, possibly for single dollar bills, at Club Onyx when all hell suddenly broke loose. Apparently, someone made disparaging remarks about the Longhorns, and then flashed an upside-down “Hook ‘em, Horns” hand gesture. A brawl ensued. Vince Young hopes the Almighty won’t let the NFL suspend him . Today, the NFL star apologized to his teammates for the whole strip club fight, noting that he’s praying to God that the NFL won’t “come down hard.” After practice today, Young said, “I just made a mistake, I made a big mistake even being there and I let that guy provoke me into doing what I did.” “I pray to God that [league Commissioner] Roger Goodell doesn’t come down hard on me, because I definitely want to be here for my teammates.” Right, because 1. God saw the fight, and 2. Even if He did, He’d be more concerned about Young suiting up this fall than any pleas for forgiveness. Check out a video of the Vince Young fight here … Vince Young Fight
