The Supreme Court had no comment when it refused to hear a case related to Spygate. Yes, Spygate. The case was previously dismissed by a District Court and the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia. A New York Jets season ticket-holder, of course, sued the New England Patriots and Bill Belichick over the 2007 Spygate scandal. He was seeking $185 million in damages in the class-action lawsuit because, he claimed, the games between the Pats and Jets were fixed for seven years. [Globe]

"...full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing." - Shakespeare, Macbeth
Yesterday, we gleefully noted that Yankee superstar Joba Chamberlain blew the ballgame on Tuesday night. Well, the wheel of karma moves swiftly and decisively, so today we must report a blown save and a loss for Jonathan Papelbon. Stupid wheel of karma.
Maybe, in retrospect, it's not the best idea for a guy to mouth off before a game everyone know he's going to lose. In four years, remember, Freddie Mitchell went from Super Bowl trashtalker to disgraced Indiana substitute teacher. Who knows what the future holds for Atlanta Hawk point guard Mike Bibby, but you've got to wonder why he's still talking while he utterly and completely fails to back it up on the court.
If your eyes flit down the NHL results and see "NYR 1, BOS 0 (SO)", you might dismiss it as another tough loss in a month that's been full of 'em so far. In other words...rats, they lost, what's next?
From satire by the Upright Citizens Brigade (see video above) to Bob Ryan to editorials in the Boston Globe magazine, the media appears to be wailing on Patriots coach Bill Belichick after Spygate and the Super Bowl loss.
Can you put a price on Super Bowl immortality? MasterCard would likely say no (because let's face it, it's priceless), but some people in St. Louis offer a resounding "hell yes." The estimated price of a 2002 Rams Super Bowl win, according to a lawsuit filed Friday in U.S. District Court in New Orleans, is $100 million.
