Obligatory Sports Babe

By the laws that govern all sports blogs, at least once every three months you must find a way to objectify Erin Andrews, and here at theScore.com Blog, we're not the type to run afoul of the law. So, here she last night at a UNC basketball game, doing her part to save the sweater industry.

Albert Pujols Likes the Soccer

The newly crowned NL MVP would like to bring an MLS team to St. Louis. Of course, the bid he's backing is throwing their hat into the same ring that Montreal and Vancouver are already in, so... if I were Albert I wouldn't hold my breath on this one.

The Knicks Don't Care For Celtic Trash Talk

"I think a few of those guys know they can't just say anything to us," a fuming Quentin Richardson told the New York Post. "I'm just real curious to see what those guys will be saying if we weren't in a basketball league and didn't have referees. It wouldn't be the same story.

"They are the world champions, rah-rah-rah, but the tough part I don't factor. Some of those guys have a ring, but you ain't been in the league long enough to talk to people like that. I don't have a lot of respect for that."

But frankly, I'm include to give Zaza a break for milking the refs like this because, hey, "nothing easy"-- am I right Zaza? . . .
