You can understand the Yankees, but how could someone not "like" the Cubs' Facebook? Hackers struck both today, attacking a beloved Yankee and an more beloved Cubs fan.

The false message on the Yankees' page said Derek Jeter would miss the rest of the season because of "sexual reassignment surgey."

The Cubs' FB post was a not-so-kind salutation to longtime celebrity fan Bill Murray that began with an "f."

When I picture an athlete signing a contract for almost nine figures, I envision reams of paper, several bank vice-presidents,  a few feisty lawyers and the obligatory entourage of sports agents.
Not Deron Williams.
When the Brooklyn Nets point guard finalized his 5-year, $98 million deal, he simply etched his name on an iPad in his Las Vegas hotel room, where he's training with the U.S. Olympic basketball team.
Then he let more than 190,000 people bear witness to the agreement by tweeting a picture to his followers.

How did LeBron James celebrate after winning his long-awaited NBA Championship?  Like a king, how else?

The Miami Heat forward and teammates partied into the early morning at a Miami nightclub in the Fontainebleau Hotel, according to TMZ.  James and teammates were throwing down a 15-liter bottle of Ace of Spades champagne valued at $75,000, the celebrity news site reported. The NBA Finals MVP still had enough energy to dance and rap with LMFAO.

It sounds like a good time was had by all and there were no problems with valets at the club.

James, who abstained from tweeting to keep his focus throughout the playoffs, thanked his 5 million-plus followers via Twitter and sent them this video message:

There were several surprises at the U.S. Open this weekend, but none bigger than a man wearing a Union Jack ruffled hat and squawking out rooster calls during NBC's trophy presentation to winner Webb Simpson.

Better it happened there, though, than during Tiger Wood's backswing.

The usually quick-witted Bob Costas looked utterly perplexed. It was first-time major winner Simpson who fired off a nice ad-lib:   "Enjoy the jail cell, pal."

Bears cornerback Charles Tillman is a very giving player. Whether it's visiting sick children or aiding needy families with his Cornerstone Foundation,  No. 33 is always there to help. 

Jim Rome is a syndicated sports talk show host. He's made a pretty good living as a petulant, incessant talking-head. I like to refer to him as the G.G.O.A.T.--Greatest Goader of All-Time. Just ask Jim Everett.

David Stern is the NBA Commissioner.  He's made a pretty good living as a smooth-talking, marketing genius, although he has his moments of arrogance. I like to refer to him as the G.C.O.A.T.--Greatest Commissioner of All-Time.

Here's what happens when the G.G.O.A.T. accuses the G.C.O.A.T of fixing the NBA lottery. -->

So, I'm sitting with my 8-year-old son watching the Celtics-Heat game last night, and he begins asking questions that an 8 year old is wont to ask:  "Can the game end in a tie?"

White Sox announcer Hawk Harrelson is a self-proclaimed, unabashed homer. He'd be the first to tell you. It was never more evident than during Wednesday's game when home plate umpire Mark Wegner ejected White Sox starter Jose Quintana, along with manager Robin Ventura, for throwing a pitch behind Tampa Bay's Ben Zobrist in the fourth inning.

With Brandon Marshall talking Super Bowl, a leaner Jay Cutler back from injury and Mike Tice taking over the controls of the offense, Kool Aid-sipping Bears fans have to think their beloved team is good for 12 or 13 wins this season, right? 

Wrong. Not according to the wiseguys in Las Vegas.

You don't think Brandon Marshall is anxious to get the season started? The new Bears wide receiver tweeted a picture Tuesday morning of him and a slimmed-down Jay Cutler in full uniform at the team's practice facility with the words: "Is it Sunday yet?"
