Stephen Strasburg battled some nerves and location issues during his spring training debut.

Sticking with its "boys, have at it" attitude, NASCAR placed Carl Edwards on probation for three races Tuesday for deliberately wrecking Brad Keselowski's car last weekend in Atlanta.

For the Houston Rockets, who need as many hands on deck as possible to get out of the win-lose blahs, it was good enough simply to see Trevor Ariza and Kyle Lowry back on the court.

After a record-breaking senior season, the individual honors are rolling in for Greivis Vasquez, including today's announcement that the Maryland guard is the Atlantic Coast Conference's player of the year.





A humbled but defiant Michael Vick was honored Tuesday night as one of 32 NFL players to receive the Ed Block Courage Award.

Gary Williams had a feeling his Maryland team would be better than people thought in the preseason. He wound up being right, and that landed him a share of a title — and another coaching honor.
