I didn’t click the bait, but thought it was funny that The Pedsters would be in the picture. Makes one assume ESPN thinks they’re making top notch moves....

Well nobody has made a bigger move and by that, I mean, a plummet down the rankings.

I didn’t click it either. Not that I could with it being just a picture.

But ESPN probably does think ol’ “not elite” is doing something noteworthy other than drugs.

Ex-Wazzu QB, No. 2 pick Leaf hired by ESPN

Ryan Leaf has been hired by ESPN to be a college football analyst, another step in the remarkable comeback of the former Washington State star who has battled drug addiction and served time in prison.

Leaf will be paired with play-by-play announcer Clay Matvick and will call games mostly on ESPN2 and ESPNU. The No. 2 overall NFL draft pick of the San Diego Chargers in 1998 worked for the Pac-12 Network last season and has been co-hosting a show on SiriusXM's Pac-12 channel.

ESPN founder Rasmussen: I have Parkinson's

Bill Rasmussen, who founded ESPN in 1979, announced Monday he is battling Parkinson's disease.

Rasmussen, 86, in a first-person story on ESPN's Front Row website, said he was diagnosed with the disease in 2014, but is sharing his diagnosis now, hoping to help others struggling with the disease and those looking for a cure.

Parkinson's disease is a condition affecting the brain that results in the progressive loss of coordination and movement and affects between 600,000 and 1 million people in the United States alone. Rasmussen writes that though he didn't feel different at first, growing issues with shaking hands, a slower gait and balance convinced him to share his diagnosis.

"First and foremost -- I'm doing well. For a guy pushing 87, and with the help of medicine that helps treat my symptoms, I still get around quite well and continue to travel the country telling the ESPN/life lessons stories as I have for decades," he writes. "I live in Seattle now with my amazing daughter, Lynn, a registered nurse and her incredible family, who have been on this journey with me and without whom this Parkinson's mystery would be a lot harder to tackle.

"Now, by expanding the circle, by sharing my experiences, my hope is that I can help others who are impacted by Parkinson's and we'll all learn more together."

Rasmussen, with his son, Scott, launched ESPN on Sept. 7, 1979, using the emerging technology of satellites to deliver television programming.

NCAA, Jackie Sherrill reach settlement in 15-year long case

Fifteen years after the case first went to trial, the NCAA and former Mississippi State University football coach Jackie Sherrill agreed to a settlement Wednesday afternoon.

Lead attorneys for both sides Jim Waide and Cal Mayo made the announcement in Madison County Circuit Court Wednesday afternoon.

The terms of the settlement remain confidential.

Mayo, the lead attorney for the NCAA, referred questions to the NCAA head office.

“Rather than continuing what already has been a lengthy legal process, all parties have agreed to confidentially settle the claims in this case without admissions of liability or responsibility. We thank the court and jury for their service and professional participation in the process.” said Donald Remy, chief legal officer for the NCAA.

Sherrill said the conclusion to the case vindicated him.

"I'm relieved," Sherrill said after the announcement, "especially after all this time."

Sherrill first brought the lawsuit against the NCAA to court in 2004. But the case remained outside the courtroom until Judge Dewey Arthur took the bench earlier this year.

Sherrill's attorneys argued that investigators with the NCAA damaged his reputation and future coaching options by publicly naming him as a subject of recruitment violation allegations in 2003.
