Four players waited with baited breath for Roger Goodell’s decision on their NFL bounty suspension appeals on Tuesday.

Will Dwight Howard be going to the Nets?
There is a possible deal for Dwight Howard finally in the works, after the prima donna spent most of last year trying to decide where he wants to play.

David Beckham will not Play in Hometown Olympics
If the Summer Olympics had been anywhere but London, England this year, perhaps David Beckham wouldn’t have seemed like such a sure thing to play for Great Britain’s team.
