by Kevin Blackistone SAN ANTONIO -- In a church gymnasium built in a rough-and-tumble neighborhood by former NBA player and coach Avery Johnson, Marion Jones, the most famous women's track athlete turned the most infamous, told FanHouse and the New York Times on Monday that she is going to attempt an athletic comeback as a professional basketball player. "I missed competitiveness," Jones, now 34, told me after I watched her at the Antioch Baptist Church go through one of her thrice-a-week three-hour basketball workouts. "I missed the challenges of participating in sports."Marion Jones Attempting Comeback As Pro Basketball Player originally appeared on Fanhouse - Kevin Blackistone on Mon, 30 Nov 2009 17:37:00 EST .

by Will Brinson Filed under: Giants , Saints , FanHouse Previews David Stern is the master of professional sports scheduling, but even he couldn't have lined up the stars for Monday night's New Orleans-New England matchup on the Bayou, which features two teams with a touch of offensive acumen. Drew Brees has the undefeated Saints topping the league in passing yards per, with 420.5, and is probably wondering how in Hades he's not the front-runner in the MVP debate. Meanwhile, Tom Brady has the Pats' passing offense *only* averaging 416.1 yards per game as he looks to tie the NFL record for consecutive 300-yard passing games at six. So, um, yeah, there's a decent chance you might get to see some points scored during ESPN's primetime broadcast tonight.

by Chris Burke Filed under: Giants , NFL Injuries , NFL Quarterbacks Adam Schefter had Giants fans reaching for their panic buttons Sunday when he reported that quarterback Eli Manning was dealing with a "stress reaction" in his right foot that could lead to a stress fracture, an injury that would sideline Manning for the rest of 2009. But Manning attempted to ease any concerns about his health Monday. "It has been the same probably for the last three or four weeks," Manning said, a statement that confirmed a Sunday afternoon report from The Star-Ledger's Mike Garafolo . "Nothing new, I feel like I can go out there in practice and do everything I need to do."Eli Manning Insists His Foot Is Fine originally appeared on Fanhouse NFL Blog on Mon, 30 Nov 2009 17:01:00 EST .

by Thomas George Filed under: Ravens , NFL Analysis BALTIMORE -- Ray Rice showed during his collegiate days at Rutgers that he was a dominant running back as he fueled the Scarlet Knights' offense. Rice showed in his combine workouts last year that he could be a complementary NFL back -- maybe a third-down wonder. Certainly, most scouts concluded, he was not big enough or fast enough to fuel an NFL offense. So, Rice went to work as a rookie last year with 107 carries and 33 receptions in primarily a reserve role and helped lead the Ravens to the AFC championship game. This season, he is more than a complement.Ravens' Ray Rice an Unexpected Star originally appeared on Fanhouse NFL Blog on Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:15:00 EST . Please see our terms for use of feeds .

by John Walters Filed under: Notre Dame Five seasons. The Charlie Weis era began with the Notre Dame alum appearing before the media flashing his four Super Bowl rings and boldly stating that 6-5 "wasn't good enough". It ended with Weis taking a pass on his final post-game press conference after his team had finished the regular season, for a second consecutive year, with a 6-6 record. The aerial attack was unlike anything seen before in South Bend and the recruiting, after a 10-year fallow period, returned to prominence. But whatever advantage Weis might have possessed schematically was undone by a lack of attention paid to toughness on the line of scrimmage and an inability to inspire his players. A look back, year-by-year, on the Weis era.Charlie Weis Era: Year by Year originally appeared on Fanhouse NCAA Football Blog on Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:05:00 EST . Please see our terms for use of feeds .

by Tom Ziller Filed under: 76ers , NBA Rumors The late Friday rumors of an Allen Iverson splashdown in Philadelphia escalated quickly enough that, according to Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia, 76ers general manager Ed Stefanski and coach Eddie Jordan were engaged in a meeting with Iverson in Dallas as of 3 PM Eastern Monday. (UPDATE: The Sixers confirmed the meeting .) Iverson retired last week after a failed three-game stint with Memphis and a failed attempt to become a New York Knick. That Iverson retired via a statement to Stephen A. Smith seemed to bring on the skepticism; when Smith reported Friday that Iverson would be interested in playing again for the Sixers, The Answer's retirement became a Brett Favre madlib.Iverson Meets With Sixers originally appeared on Fanhouse NBA Blog on Mon, 30 Nov 2009 15:53:00 EST .

by Will Brinson Filed under: PGA , Golf Odds and Ends To say that Tiger Woods has been under some scrutiny over the past few days would probably backdoor some sort of "Understatement of the Year Award" -- the news about his accident and ensuing rumors surrounding the incident (pick your poison, whether it be: TMZ's many opinions about Tiger's wife, Tiger's declining to interview with police officers, the 911 call itself , Wanda Sykes' comedic stance , how advertisers are responding , or Tiger's official statement ) have stormed every available news outlet on the planet. And as such, Tiger is doing everything he can in order to recede from the public eye, including apparently, stepping away from the game of golf (via Golf.com ) for the remainder of the year, which includes his own Chevron World Tournament in California. "I am extremely disappointed that I will not be at my tournament this week," Woods said. "I am certain it will be an outstanding event and I'm very sorry that I can't be there."Tiger Woods Pulls Out of Chevron, Announces End to His Golf Season originally appeared on Fanhouse Golf Blog on Mon, 30 Nov 2009 15:34:00 EST .

by Kevin Schultz Filed under: Blues , Hurricanes , Oilers , Panthers , Wild , NHL Coaching In the NHL, coach firings are as common as parking tickets in New York City. Throughout the NHL season I'll be taking a bi-weekly look at five coaches who are the most likely to get fired. Be advised your local coach may be axed at any moment. Consider this fair warning. The NHL has had a lot of parity since the advent of the 'overtime point,' and over the last two weeks we've really seen that at work. The difference between fourth and 11th in the Western Conference is five points and there's a similar logjam of teams in the East. Parity is also working its way into our countdown as the six teams that were on the countdown last time all have at least four wins in their last 10 games. No one is tanking! No one is trying to get their coach fired! What is this, socialism?Pink Slip Index: No One Wants to Be First to Go originally appeared on Fanhouse NHL Blog on Mon, 30 Nov 2009 14:00:00 EST .

by Mike Chiappetta Filed under: UFC Former UFC middleweight champion Rich Franklin is no closer to returning to the octagon after taking the last two months off, he told FanHouse. The well-respected UFC warhorse, who fought his last two contests at catchweights of 195 pounds, has been enjoying some well-deserved rest and relaxation after his most recent bout, a September TKO loss at the hands of Vitor Belfort . "I am not sure about my return in 2010," he told FanHouse. "I know I need a few months off. I will wake up one morning and say, 'It's time to fight.' Until then, I'm getting some much needed time."

by Tom Ziller Filed under: Nets , NBA Rumors , NBA Coaches Lawrence Frank has been dismissed, and the Nets have no coach ... and, as of the publication of this post, not even an interim coach. Assistant coach Tom Barrise took the hot seat for Sunday's trampling in Los Angeles, but the team has yet to name the longtime Net the full-time coach for the balance of the season. That hesitation -- plus Rod Thorn's statement that he'll interview all Nets assistants and possibly others -- has the rumor mill churning. Who are those names? And who might be best prepared for the regrettable job at hand? We survey the field, after the jump.Surveying the Nets' Coaching Options originally appeared on Fanhouse NBA Blog on Mon, 30 Nov 2009 13:35:00 EST . Please see our terms for use of feeds .

by Kevin Blackistone Filed under: Golf As it turns out, Tiger Woods is not The Brother From Another Planet, to borrow liberally from the John Sayles' movie title, or even a Calabanasian, as Woods once famously labeled himself, from some other world. In the wake of police reports that he crashed his Cadillac Escalade into a fire hydrant and tree in the wee hours of Friday on the edge of his manse's grounds in the ultra-exclusive gated community of Windermere, Fla., Woods proved he's just like the rest of us. He's human, or, more to the point, unable to avoid idiocy at all times. Unfortunately, too many people were desirous (as Rush Limbaugh would say) to overlook Woods' realness. Why? Because it threatened to get in the way of what an outrageously good thing he was -- a clean-cut, quiet and well-spoken man of some color, or colors, who wore none of his mixed heritage or any hint of politics on his sleeve. He could provide something for everyone to feel good about, and was doing just that.

by Tom Fornelli Filed under: Yankees , AL East , MLB Awards It's been a pretty incredible year for New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter . He just won his fifth World Series earlier this month after having one of the best offensive seasons of his career, and also got his fourth Silver Slugger award and fourth Gold Glove to go along with it. He also passed Lou Gehrig as the Yankees ' all-time leader in hits, which considering the history of the Yankees, is quite an achievement. Now he has some more hardware to add to the trophy case ,as it was announced on Monday that Jeter has been named Sports Illustrated's Sportsman of the Year .Derek Jeter Named Sports Illustrated's Sportsman of the Year originally appeared on Fanhouse MLB Blog on Mon, 30 Nov 2009 11:21:00 EST .
