Agassi And Sampras Battle On The Court

When Andre Agassi, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Pete Sampras took to the court on Friday in a charity fundraiser for the Haiti earthquake victims you'd be forgiven for thinking that the rivalry would have been between Federer and Nadal who are arguably the current top two tennis players in the world.

However, it was that type of system that was the ultimate fuel to Selig's Steroid Era™ - relying on player morality to stamp out drugs is as smart as letting Garry Glitter look after your children.

Brady Quinn Relegated To 3rd Place

After a pretty respectable college football career, it seems like the Brady Quinn Professional Experience just keeps going downhill after NFL buzz predicts him to be nothing better than a third string quarterback in the Cleveland Browns organization in 2010.
