I had the chance to sit with the new executive director of the NFL Players Association, DeMaurice Smith, for three hours in Washington last week. I liked him. He's personable, he listens, he makes good arguments ... and, more importantly, he's a huge football fan. He loves the game, and it's going to be tough for him to tear himself away from his beloved Redskins and become a fan of all 32 teams. But to me that's a good thing. He's excited about meeting the men he's watched on TV over the years and was tickled that Peyton Manning was trying to reach out to him last week to congratulate him on the new job.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- In the early morning of Feb. 11, tired and heartbroken, Nick Calathes laced up his sneakers as his teammates trudged back to their dorms. A few hours earlier, Calathes had stood at the free throw line at Kentucky's Rupp Arena. The Florida point guard had been fouled shooting a buzzer-defying three-pointer, and he needed to make all three free throws to force overtime. He had missed the first. And the second. He missed the third on purpose with the hope that the ball would spring off the rim and into the hands of a waiting Gator, but by then it was too late.
Tiffany Sessions was a 20-year-old junior studying economics at the University of Florida in Gainesville when she decided to go out for a run. She never came back.
Shark attacks on humans were at the lowest levels in half a decade last year, and a Florida researcher says hard economic times may be to blame.

PROTAGONISTS: Billy Donovan, Billy Gillispie, Patrick Patterson
All across the country this week, it seems people are still trying to come to terms with what exactly happened in college football last weekend.
NEW YORK -- Last Sunday evening, with his official visit to Gainesville coming to an end, Will Hill III, the do-everything senior from St. Peter's Prep (Jersey City, N.J.) stopped in to Florida coach Urban Meyer's office to share a few words before dinner. After a few minutes, Hill's parents engaged in a sidebar conversation with Florida assistant coaches Steve Addazio and Chuck Heater, leaving their son to speak with the championship coach, one-on-one.
St. Peter's Prep (Jersey City) all-around star Will Hill took his official visit to Gainesville, Fla., last Saturday and watched from the stands as the Gators thrashed Tennessee 59-20.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- After signing a few autographs for a throng of some 250 fans who braved the smoldering heat that registered 110 on the heat index, Tim Tebow did a couple brief interviews, before being directed to a golf cart so security could whisk him to Ben Hill Griffin Stadium for team meetings.
Around the world, a handful of scientists are trying to create life from scratch and they're getting closer.
Following a stroke of genius on the part of football coach Urban Meyer, things are ready to heat up on the recruiting front for Florida.
Billy Donovan and the Orlando Magic were on the verge of officially terminating the coach's five-year, $27.5 million contract Tuesday, a process that would allow Donovan to return to Florida and the Magic to move forward with hiring Stan Van Gundy, their preferred Plan B.
At a press conference to announce Billy Donovan's hiring by the Orlando Magic last Friday morning, nearly 6,500 words were spoken by Donovan and general manager Otis Smith as they sat side-by-side on stools at the center of the team's practice court. Buried in the final 300 words of the 45-minute ordeal was Smith's smiling statement -- in response to what Donovan's first act as coach would be -- that "we gave him the weekend off."
The two coaches were on the Georgia Dome floor on the night of April 2, occupying vastly different roles as the confetti was settling on Florida's second straight national championship. Billy Donovan was a central figure in the celebration, given that he had just joined John Wooden and Mike Krzyzewski as the only men to win back-to-back titles in the past 35 years of college basketball. Anthony Grant, meanwhile, was on the periphery, taking in the scene with a proud-yet-detached look on his face.
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Florida's Billy Donovan appears to on the verge of jumping along with his four junior stars to the NBA -- as the next coach of the Orlando Magic.
Jai Lucas has a message for Florida basketball fans:
Before we get started, a huge congratulations to my Florida Gators for winning their second straight NCAA men's basketball title. Luckily for me, the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour's clay-court season kicked off this week down the road from my alma mater in Amelia Island, Fla.
Take a good, hard look, America. In an era of me-first gunners, one-year supernovas (see you in the NBA, Kevin Durant) and attention spans the length of a YouTube clip, it may be a long, long time before we see another college basketball team like these Florida Gators. Just listen to forward Corey Brewer, a.k.a. the Drunken Dribbler (for his swerving forays to the hoop), who was as sober as a reverend (for a little while, at least) after his Gators claimed their second straight national title on Monday at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. "I feel like we're one of the best college basketball teams to ever play the game," Brewer said after Florida's 84-75 victory over Ohio State. "You can argue about it, but I'd put us up against anybody."
As exciting as the NCAA tournament is, many of you don't have a particular team to root for tonight. Not me -- I'm still pulling hard for UNC. I think the Tar Heels can still do it.

The NFL combine is barely a week old and college pro days are already in full swing. Scouts from around the league are criss-crossing the country continuing the search for NFL talent. As a result, there has been movement on draft boards.
Picking a new No. 1, now that Wisconsin has gone down, isn't easy. There's only one school left in the four highest-rated RPI leagues (ACC, SEC, Pac-10 and Big Ten) that's undefeated in league play -- and that team, Florida, also hasn't lost since Dec. 3. What about the tear North Carolina is on, though? The Heels have won their past five games by an average of 27 points, making an equally strong case.
Ron Zook was out, Urban Meyer was in, and Chris Leak was conflicted. he'd put in a pair of pretty fine seasons under Zook, the man who'd wooed him out of Independence High in Charlotte. As Leak recalls, "My relationship with Coach Zook went way beyond football."
