What Rhymes With Nick And Starts With "P"?

Seems that the honeymoon may be over for the truth challenged Nick Saban. According to one source, Saban cancelled an interview last weekend with CNNSI's Stewart Mandel. Mandel reported that in canceling, Saban barked at an athletics department official, "I don't have time for this shit."

Another comment from Montgomery Advertiser columnist Josh Moon was not as kind to Saban after the coach refused to make players available to the media last week. Wrote Moon: "Let's be real here, Nick Saban's reputation is mostly hype. He was overrated at Michigan State, overrated at LSU and rated about right in Miami. He's an average coach who, through mostly media attention, has garnered this reputation of being a great coach."

Snow Job

With the grounds crew still shoveling snow off the field, the Cleveland Indians decided it was time to head north to Milwaukee.

The Indians moved their series against the Los Angeles Angels to Milwaukee's Miller Park after a spring snowstorm wiped out Cleveland's series against Seattle for the fourth straight day Monday.

MLB Commissioner Bud Selig said it's tough to avoid weather problems. Selig said the solution isn't as simple as scheduling more games in warmer climates. Mmmmm...ok, Commish. Or perhaps that is just a snow job by you.

"Eggs"citing Finish!

Imus Steps In It

Imus questioned the players' looks, describing them as tattooed "rough girls." His producer compared the team -- which has eight black members -- to the NBA's Toronto Raptors.
