Northwestern Escapes Minnesota, 29-28
By Mark Hasty - AOL NewsNorthwestern came into TCF Bank Stadium with a 4-0 record. Minnesota came in with a 1-3 record. Neither team played like its record would lead you to believe, but the result was predictable. A 29-yard Stefan Demos field goal with 2:35 remaining gave Northwestern a 29-28 lead, and it held on to win by the same mark. Seriously, how else can Minnesota lose a game? The Gophers have looked past a lower-division opponent, they've been steamrolled by a far superior team and last week they were destroyed by a total breakdown in run defense. The only avenue of heartbreak left open to them was to choke ...
Great 'Robberies' in Olympic History
By Paul Wachter - AOL News(Feb. 19) -- Not long after the men's figure skating competition was over Thursday night, the reports came filing in. So-and-so was robbed. Johnny Weir deserved higher than sixth, even according to a Weir critic. Silver medalist Evgeni Plushenko of Russia deserved gold, he believes, because he landed a quad jump, while American gold winner Evan Lysacek didn't even try one.

Runner Caster Semenya's Case Raises Bigger Issues Than Just Gender
By Judy Howard Ellis - Politics DailyAre we asking the wrong questions about track athlete Caster Semenya? The 18-year-old South African won the gold medal in the 800-meter race at the world track and field championships in Berlin. But did a woman or a man sprint to win by a jaw-dropping 2.45 seconds? The International Association of Athletic Federations has asked Semenya to undergo tests to determine her gender. Apparently, a few losers of the race observed that Semenya lacked female cred on the track. Italian runner Elisa Piccione, who came in sixth, said: "For me, she is not a woman." So Semenya's looks has thrown the ...
Big Brown Uses Steroids: Should We Care?
By Michael David Smith - AOL NewsThe Preakness will be run in about six hours, and there are two big stories: Big Brown's status as the overwhelming favorite, and the death of Eight Belles raising renewed questions about the safety of racehorses. Those two stories have come together in the last few days as Big Brown's trainer, Rick Dutrow, has come under increased scrutiny for using steroids on all of his horses. Last month Dutrow told the New York Daily News that he regularly gives the steroid stanozolol, which is sold under the brand name Winstrol, to his horses. "I give all my horses Winstrol on the 15th of every month," ...
Beltran Completes Hat Trick of Injured Mets Outfielders
By Mullet - AOL NewsFirst it was Moises Alou's quad and knee, which isn't quite healed yet. Then, it was Shawn Green fouling a ball off of his foot and breaking a small bone in his foot. Those are both of Carlos Beltran's flanks in the outfield, so who can blame him if he started to feel a little nervous for his own health, especially with his recent admission that he's played the last month with a little tendinitis (Beltran hit .234 in May after a .356 average in April).Last night, Beltran was involved in a collision with Giants first baseman Rich Aurilia, and after testing his knee in the dugout unsuccessfully, ...
