According to our own Joe Schad, two sources who recruit for Mississippi State told school compliance officials back in January that quarterback Cam Newton and his father each admitted in separate phone conversations that his college choice would be about money. The sources said that prior to Newton's commitment to Auburn, Cecil Newton said it would take "more than a scholarship" to get his son to Starkville, and that a third party could provide specifics. Newton was apparently told that Mississippi State would not meet such a request, according to the sources, who say the information was then relayed to SEC officials. An emotional Cam Newton is said to have later called another Mississippi State recruiter to express regret over changing his commitment to the school but that his father chose Auburn because "the money was too much." Cam Newton declined comment when reached through the school Tuesday night. Cecil Newton did not respond to an e-mail request for comment, however he did tell FOXSports.com late Tuesday night, "I'm not going to confirm nor deny nothing that has been taking place." He described the allegations swirling around his son as "a witch hunt" and added, "I've answered what I need to answer. If they're out there, go with it and make the decision or determination based on whatever you've got to say." Auburn has denied any wrongdoing.

The National Football League released an 11-page guide yesterday that detailed some rules regarding hits that just aren't allowed. It also included black-and-white drawings of players delivering hits that aren't allowed, and contained a reminder that officials who are unsure of whether or not to call a foul on a hit like that "should lean toward player safety and call the foul." It's a redistribution of information was included in the 2010 League Policies for Players manual, something that was first distributed to players and coaches at the start of training camp. Meanwhile, Microsoft might want to consider releasing a similar guide, based on the early video evidence of its new Kinect.

When Tiger Woods tees off tonight (tomorrow morning in Australia) it will mark the last chance he'll have this year to answer his critics and win a golf title, let alone defend one. 52 weeks ago, he was in Melbourne and won the Australian Masters. That was the same week a tabloid first linked him to a New York nightclub hostess. That was the start of a tailspin that saw him go through an entire PGA TOUR season without a win for the first time in his career. And yet, as he comes full circle Down Under, he insists his focus is where it's supposed to be. "I'm here to defend a title," he said.

| 20/21, 54 | The Pacers made 20 of their first 20 shots of the third quarter against the Nuggets. The only reason they missed out on a perfect 21-for-21 quarter was because Josh McRoberts missed on a 26-footer with 1.9 seconds left. "I didn't know," McRoberts said. "I would have tried to pump-fake it a few more times, and maybe pass it to Mike (Dunleavy)." Mike (Dunleavy) scored 24 of his 31 points in that 54-point third quarter. "I didn't realize it until after the fact, or else I probably would have gone over there and stole the ball from him," Dunleavy said. Nuggets coach George Karl looked at it differently. "The dike broke, and the dam broke, and the flood hit us," he said.

| 17 (3/7/2006) | The Clippers helped the Hornets get to 7-0 last night and keep their best-ever start going strong. And for that, they get to travel from New Orleans to San Antonio to take on the Spurs tonight (9:30 ET ESPN). The Clippers have not beaten the Spurs since March 7, 2006. That's 17 straight games, if you're counting. That's the longest active losing streak one NBA team has to another NBA team, four more than the 13 straight these same Clippers have dropped to those same Hornets. But don't sleep on the Clippers. Actually, don't sleep on the train. Actually, don't sleep on the post just outside the doors of a train.

| 234 | Enforcer Derek Boogaard scored early in the second period to give the New York Rangers a 3-2 lead in an eventual 5-3 loss to the Washington Capitals. It was his first goal since January 7th of 2006, and so he snapped his streak of 234 consecutive goalless games. That was the longest active goal-drought in the NHL. Kings defenseman Rod Scuderi and his 166-game streak are now on the clock.

| "Mr. Davis likes what Jason has done the past month and doesn't see the need to change when things are going well. He thinks Jason is a classic fit for the Raiders style of play." A person familiar with the situation that is the Oakland Raiders told the San Jose Mercury News that owner Al Davis wants Jason Campbell under center. A little over a week ago, head coach Tom Cable said Bruce Gradkowski was the "clearcut" starter at quarterback. Cable also said there was "no issue" regarding the quarterback position. This week, Cable said he'll stick with Campbell indefinitely. He's got a good feeling about this.

But nobody is going to ask what Andray did to deserve it." The latest edition of Sports Illustrated includes a feature on the self-described misunderstood Gilbert Arenas. And that feature hopefully includes Gilbert's answer to what Andray did to deserve it.
