LAD'S NAME = GRID GREATNESS!
Porn. John Porn.
Porn. John Porn.
The first-ever Sportalicous 'Kid Who Had To Get Huge To Avoid Getting Picked On' award goes to Naperville Central High School defensive end John Porn (www.rivals.com). "John Porn" - Yes, you're writing a joke right now in your head, aren't you? Any school's cruel kids (okay, pretty much all of us) didn't even have to bend that name into a teaser. It comes fully loaded, and kids are brutal enough to use it early and often like a shiv shaved from a Popsicle stick. So we're guessing John Porn started lifting weights in kindergarten, and bided his time, which ain't easy for a grade-schooler yacked up on HoHos and Count Chocula. By freshman year, after his first decapitation of an opposing quarterback, we'd wager the 'porn' jokes began to peter out in home room, no pun intended. And now that he's being recruited by several Division One football programs, it's a good hunch the kids just call him "hey, dude." So while your pounding some heads this fall for the good ol' Naperville Central High Redhawks, John Porn, throw a little clothesline in for all the Lipshitz kids, would you?
SHOCKER: COACH HAS 'MISUNDERSTANDING' ABOUT RULES

North Carolina's Roy Williams approved payments from a group of alumni to some graduating players during his tenure as University of Kansas coach, but fortunately, Kansas Athletic Director Lew Perkins cleared the air when he announced Williams 'just misunderstood the rules.' In lieu of that info, the NCAA will not pursue an investigation of the high-profile, pristine-repped Williams and will instead go after Wisconsin to see if its athletes are once again getting discounts on tennis shoes, which of course undermined society as we know it for several years.

HANGOVER OF THE WEEK: WILLIAMS SLIDES DOWN EUSTACHY TUBE
Who eats chicken bones left-handed?
Who eats chicken bones left-handed?
Who says the country's in the grip of the Christian Right? Not Maryland hoops coach Gary Williams! If this photo's for real, Williams may be singlehandedly battling the righteous minions of Jesus by getting low-lidded at college keggers, sneakng up to the dames and saying, "Who's got the digi-cam?" There's not enough Advil in the world to make this go away the morning after! Oy. Either tell us this is Photshop or be careful of that crossover dribble, coach, because Larry Eustachy still has an opening on his staff down at My Life Went South University.
NEW TIEBREAKER IN TENNIS: THUMBWRESTLE

Tennis ThumbwrestleWomen's tennis is experimenting with new, easier tiebreakers that still allow players to settle matches on the court. Any match that reaches a score of 6-6 can now be settled one of three ways - 1) thumbwrestling at the net (pictured), 2) lightning round of Trivial Pursuit, or 3) a duel with long pistols. Lawn jarts, arguing over a lunch tab and paintball were ruled out as too time consuming.
