- SPORTSbyBROOKS has the story of how a hot high school athletic trainer, Hope Jacoby (right), had an affair with one of the students at the school. Is it just me, or is this happening more and more? (And there’s definitely a double standard based on the sex of the offender, right?)

- CUZOOGLE had a great idea — to take every team in the NBA and assign a picture of a woman to them based on their level of hotness. (Get it? The Lakers are hot, Wizards…not so much.) Hilarity ensues.

- Wondering why ESPN paid Rick Reilly all that money? Well, they might be too. They now have him writing a blog, GO FISH, which means we can get a taste of Reilly’s lame pop culture references on a more regular basis. Hooray!

- WITH LEATHER describes why NFL fans who play Madden are smarter than NFL fans who don’t.

- DEADSPIN has excerpts from Jay Mariotti’s bitchy interview with Real Clear Sports where he details why he left the Chicago Sun-Times.

- SPORTSbyBROOKS describes how the Minnesota Vikings are using the NFL-to-L.A. fantasy to convince their fans to build them a new stadium. Classy.
