    Cheating Invades Tennis

    POSTED BY Dave Aizer, 09 November 2007 | PERMALINK

    What the ^&*! is going on with professional tennis? First, Nikolay Davydenko, one of the top players in the game, is suspected of “taking a dive” and throwing a match.

    Insert "honeymoon is over" joke here.

    Billy Gillespie couldn't ask for a worse start as the new head coach for the Kentucky Wildcats. I'm sure he was prepared for most of it: the insane expectations, the unparalleled scrutiny and the insane focus the media in Lexington, Kentucky puts on that basketball program (and hey, I've lived there and there isn't much else there to get excited...

Even though they would never admit it, I'm sure Corey Dillon and Walter Payton agree. I did not, however, expect it to ever...
