* Tony Romo may or may not have had a guy's day out with the brother of his current girlfriend who is also the ex-boyfriend of his ex-girlfriend, but who is definitely the pretty boy on that one show. I'm not sure how, but this will definitely cost Dallas a playoff game. [Dallas Observer]
* I include this story about Michigan's Boubacar Cissoko not to gloat, but because it's truly fascinating to wonder how a guy goes from starting cornerback to convicted armed robber in six months. (Unless you think it makes Rich Rodriguez look bad, in which case, feel the gloat.) [Detroit News]

* Paul Pierce joins the free agent parade that I am so fortunate to not be able to write about in two days time. [Boston Globe]
