The Quickie

With Jim Tressel seeming to be the only thing anyone wants to talk about, I figure I would try to lighten the mood up a bit. Here is some of the less depressing sports news from around the net (Oh, I’m sorry, I meant “cloud”). Cuttino Mobley is living the dream of every current NBA player. [...]
