You’ve been hearing a lot about Olympian sex around here lately, from anonymous accounts of how much sex is had to a list of facts to know about how much sex is had. Bottom line: it’s a lot of sex… and a lot of condoms. But how many condoms?

Roburt Sallie, who played basketball for Memphis in college and until recently played for CB Tarragona in Spain, is currently at the center of one of the weirdest controversies we’ve heard of in a while. It involves penis pills. After the jump, Sallie explains himself in the best clip you’ll hear today.

New Southern Miss head football coach Ellis Johnson brings an extensive résumé to the job…but also relatively advanced age. Does he have the energy to attack the job? Just ask him. Or maybe don’t.

The question comes up from time to time, regarding the NBA lockout: for whom should we feel the worst? There are plenty of people suffering as a result of this lockout…including some you wouldn’t necessarily expect.

Redskins quarterback John Beck had a rough day against the Bills on Sunday. Not only did his team lose, not only were they shut out, but he was sacked 10 times. Luckily, though, one company is going the extra mile to look out for his well-being.

Tennis players Andy Murray and Francesca Schiavone both said earlier this year that having sex before a match won’t hurt one’s performance, and might actually help. Well, maybe they were on to something.

The Detroit Lions are 3-0. And when you haven’t made the playoffs or so much as finished .500 in over a decade, 3-0 is a big deal. We’d expect Lions fans to be no less than ecstatic over their promising team’s start, and celebrate accordingly – but based on an AP report from this morning, some of those fans might have to direct their gameday enthusiasm elsewhere.

We’ve all got a right to express what we feel without getting in (legal) trouble for it. It’s the First Amendment, it’s a freedom many other parts of the world still don’t have, and for that reason as much as any other, it’s a freedom that should be exercised. Florida Panthers 2011 second-round NHL Draft pick Rocco Grimaldi (we can’t hear this name and not think “Rocco Siffredi,” which, as you will soon see, is especially laced with irony) isn’t afraid to exercise that right. Like, really not afraid.

You heard about that book on Sarah Palin by author Joe McGinniss, right? The one where he moved in next to her, and the whole thing seemed kind of creepy? Well, now the always-reliable National Enquirer is trumpeting details from that very book, under the typically reserved headline, “WORLD EXCLUSIVE! SARAH PALIN BOMBSHELL BOOK SHOCKING CLAIMS!” Since it’s not directly coming from the National Enquirer, it’s more trustworthy than what they’d generally put out there…and it just so happens one of McGinniss’ stories is sports-related.

If you’ve been reading our site over these recent summer dog days, you might have noticed that the Miami New Times is releasing some rather embarrassing e-mail correspondences involving none other than Shaquille O’Neal. There was the time he wanted Rihanna and accepted no substitutes. There was the time he was very explicit with a model about what he wanted to, and where (and for what duration) he wanted to do it. And now, we have a set of emails depicting something not so salacious, but still, it doesn’t look too good for Diesel…and it likely won’t shock you to learn TMZ is involved.
