Maybe it's because so many of them are cheating, so they're afraid of getting caught, but the paranoia displayed by college football coaches seems to be getting worse and worse. Earlier this week, USC coach Lane Kiffin banned an L.A. Daily News reporter from covering practice for two weeks because he had the audacity to report on an injury to a Trojans player.

Soccer WAG and one-time SI Swimsuit model Abbey Clancy is back with a new photoshoot.

WQAM's Dan Sileo went ballistic Tuesday about the state of Miami Hurricanes football.

I've gotten lots of e-mails and Tweets about Hot Clicks favorite Brandon McCarthy over the last several days. If you follow McCarthy on Twitter, you know by now that somehow brain surgery has made him even funnier.
