World number three Novak Djokovic has reportedly signed a lucrative 10-year sponsorship deal with Italian sports apparel company Sergio Tacchini. The terms of the deal, which begins next season, were not disclosed.

NFL Mock Draft 12-1
By Paul M. Banks and Peter Christian
In this season of giving thanks, I’d figure I would give gratitude to all the NFL Mock Draft databases that regularly include us in their listings. When you get to the bottom of this mock, you’ll see links to all the best mock databases on the web.

Brady Quinn has looked better recently, but the chances of him becoming a NFL franchise quarterback are about as high as the recently fired Charlie Weis...Wrigley Field’s New Billboards
Tom Ricketts is adding billboards atop the bleachers in left field, and guess what folks, this is just the beginning.
Get ready for digital video boards, more ads on the outfield walls and plenty of ad signage erected throughout the concourse.

The big losers this week are the Houston Texans and Miami Dolphins who both dropped four spots and now sit at 5-6, on the...It’s Conference Championship Week…So Where is the Big Ten?
Ah…Championship Week in college football.
Every Midwest fan has the pleasure of looking toward the, err, the MAC Championship? Ohio Bobcats vs. Central Michigan Chippewas? And on a Friday night?
I’d rather go on a bar crawl with friends, see a movie, gouge an ice pick straight into my eyes…anything but watch that game.
(Not that I don’t try. The 11:00am contest last Friday between Ohio and Temple had its one viewer before I changed the channel immediately at noon when better games kicked off. I will say the first hour of Ohio-Temple was way better...
