• Rutgers University left tackle Eric LeGrand made a seemingly routine tackle in Rutgers' 23-20 overtime win against Army on Saturday, but he suffered a spinal injury which has left him paralyzed from the neck down. Rutgers coach Greg Schiano said that LeGrand was responsive and aware of the hard road ahead after his emergency surgery at Hackensack University Medical Center Sunday night. Though LeGrand's recovery outlook is unknown at this time, there are two former football players who have endured similar injuries and fully recovered. A hit put on former Penn State cornerback Adam Taliaferro in 2000 caused damage to the C5 part of his spinal cord, and Buffalo Bills tight end Kevin Everett took a devastating hit in 2007 during a special teams play, causing damage to the C3 and C4 parts of his spinal cord. We hope that LeGrand can one day stand with the fully recovered players.

• Washington Redskins quarterback Donavan McNabb's much-hyped return to Philly on Sunday was supposed to be unforgettable. The matchup pitted McNabb and the Skins against the Eagles and Mike Vick, the ex-dog fighting quarterback McNabb mentored last year when he piloted the Eagles' offense. Vick's rib injury late in the first quarter put a collar on the game, which didn't become interesting again until the last few plays of the fourth quarter. McNabb played terribly, only registering a QB rating of 60.2, but he still was able to squeak out a much-needed Washington victory, 17-12. The Skins are 2-0 in the NFC East, and the Dirty Birds, I mean Eagles, are winless at home. This sounds like a role-reversal, and not just with the quarterback shuffle.

• LeBron James practiced for the first time with the Miami Heat on Tuesday. Reports of King James fist-pumping after passing over a double-team that set up a teammate for a dunk, shouting instructions during drills and getting into an animated and heated argument with Dwyane Wade over a scoring dispute as practice was ending were just some of the antics in The King's new court. The Heat certainly acquired a gregarious diva when LeBron signed in July. Latin pop diva Gloria Estefan, who calls Miami home, is going to be fierce competition for LeBron and his "Miami Sound Machine."

• Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid named Michael Vick the starting quarterback Tuesday. Who knew that just a year after signing with the Eagles, previously shunned for his inhumane dog-fighting rings, Vick would be flying high once again? Looks like rock band Florence and the Machine were right in Vick's case: "The dog days are over."

The University of Richmond defeated Elon 27-21 in overtime on Saturday in front of a sold out crowd in the inaugural game at Robins Stadium.

• Not only are the New York Jets being investigated by the NFL after a few players made catcalls directed at TV Azteca reporter Ines Sainz while she was waiting to interview quarterback Mark Sanchez Saturday at the Jets' practice facility, but Washington Redskins running back Clinton Portis just got slapped on the wrist for his outspoken comments about Sainz. Portis said, "I think you put women reporters in the locker room in position to see guys walking around naked, and you sit in the locker room with 53 guys, and all of a sudden you see a nice woman in the locker room. I think men are going to tend to turn and look and want to say something to that woman." Portis apologized through the Redskins after the league swiftly condemned his comments as inappropriate and offensive. I love Portis, but he can't be that full of himself until he can average more than four yards per carry. I think when you put women reporters in the locker room, they're more concerned about how THEY look on-camera than what the "hottie wit da body" looks like post-practice. Hot, sweaty mess if you ask me.

• Yahoo! Sports reported Tuesday that 2005 Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush will be stripped of the award by the end of the month. The NCAA ruled that Bush received lavish gifts from two sports marketers hoping to sign him. Among the things he won't be forced to return: a Super Bowl ring, millions in endorsements and his pop-star status earned from dating Kim Kardashian. But cheaters never win, right?

• Boston College linebacker Mark Herzlich has had his fair share of bang-ups and tackles, but none hit harder than his May 2009 announcement of his diagnosis with Ewing's Sarcoma cancer in his left leg. The 2008 ACC Defensive Player of the Year has been declared cancer-free by his doctors and he is ready to get back on the field. He still looks every bit of the 6-foot-4, 238 pounds at which he played two years ago, and his hair is back from vacation from chemo to cushion his helmet. Sports fans everywhere can add another inspirational leader to the list of cancer-beating athletes.

• Richmond graduate and MLB "Mr. Nice Guy," Sean "The Mayor" Casey ('95), was featured on "This Day in Sports" Tuesday for his on-field blooper in 2006 while playing for the Detroit Tigers. The Tigers hosted the White Sox, which turned into a 10-zip blowout for the visitors, but Casey slapped a line drive toward third baseman Joe Crede, who just missed gloving the ball. Casey took two dejected steps to the dugout, thinking the ball had been caught. Not so. The ball was still in play but his little blunder cost him a hit when he was out by half a step. It's OK, Casey, at least you were only remembered for a silly mistake. Many of your colleagues are remembered for the juicin'.

While the jockeys and horses will race beneath the April sun and across the springtime greenery, spectators will race to the nearest Lilly Pulitzer and Brooks Brothers to sport the most pastels and patterns.

• Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger got dropped from more than just the sexual assault charges from a Georgia college student. A local company that markets food products endorsed by local sports stars dropped Big Ben from its beef jerky sponsorship. As Uncle Frank from "Home Alone" would say, "Look what you did, you little jerk."

The defense won the annual spring football game, 54-23, Saturday afternoon. Special rules were in place that allowed the defense to score one point for a forced punt, a tackle for a loss or a broken-up pass; two points for a fourth-down stop, a sack or a two-point conversion stop; three points for a forced missed field goal, a forced three-and-out or a takeaway; and six points for scoring a touchdown. The scoring for offense was the same as a normal game, but it received one point for every first down.
