It’s apparent that USC will begin the 2009 campaign as a top 5 program. The consensus will also project the Trojans to win their 8th consecutive Pac 10 title. But the reloading process may leave the program vulnerable in some areas, making a conference championship and national title run difficult.

It appears Phoenix is sending the Big Shaq Fu to Cleveland in exchange for… Ben Wallace and Sasha Pavlovic. Yikes. Even though O’Neal is past his prime he’s still a productive player, while the same can’t be said for either of the players the Suns get back.

After staking out Brett Favre in his living quarters at the Vikings training camp, ESPN reporter Chris Mortensen has filed this report on his networks website:

Well friends, here we are at the end of the journey. This is the last installment of the Cooperstown’s Best series.
We have managed to make Top 10 lists on each of the other positions, and this is the end of the road.

The Dallas Cowboys’ offensive line is known for protecting Tony Romo and opening holes for Marion Barber and Felix Jones. But now they are making names for themselves outside of football.

Here we are in the depths of depression, or Indian Summer as I like to refer to it, and the Cleveland blogosphere has become a vital forum of late to debate several issues regarding the immediate future of our Browns.
