What I read this week.

Posted by Emmett Jones in Baseball, Football

Jason Peck looked at the rebirth of the IFL (International Fight League). He pointed out something in the article which I found very interesting; the team names are based on the team coach instead of a city or area (i.e. Ken Shamrock’s Lion’s Den). (via Take A Peck)

Joe Favorito covered the story of IUPUI coach, Ron Hunter, and how he picked up some very positive publicity this week (and helped some African children receive some new shoes in the process). Good to see some positive press with a celebrity, yes? (via Sports Marketing and PR Roundup)

Very interesting story by Marc Isenberg, who covered the O.J. Mayo ticket “scandal” this week. Fortunately, those clear-cut NCAA rules (did I say that?) straightened everything out quickly. (via Money Players)

My personal favorite story of the week, Josh Golka of Athlete Agent/Sports Agent Regulation fame, informed everyone about the athlete agent regulation rules for Pennsylvania. (thanks again for fulfilling the request Josh). Josh is in the middle of a 50 states in 50 days series of posts, showing the athlete agent rules for every state. It has taken a little longer than 50 days, but go over and check it out, it is a very interesting set of posts. (via Athlete Agent)

Barry Bonds is looking to drop the indictments against him, claiming that the questions were misleading and hard to understand. That sounds vaguely like R. Kelly’s “digital defense” (congrats on the new site Jason!). (via Ick’s Corner)

Mitchell Blatt, at Juiced Sports Blog tackled that whole Mark Cuban/Will Leitch blogger ethics situation (nice breakdown of how bloggers are viewed by mainstream media). (via Juiced Sports Blog)

A bit of a hodgepodge in this post…A little information about the Super Bowl halftime show and why I won’t be watching, and the City of New York trying to get Eli Manning’s forgiveness for their past transgressions through everyone’s favorite sport…lacrosse (what?) (via Sportsattitude)
