Suspended New Orleans Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma's attorney says a ledger of under-the-table cash bonuses and fines does not prove the team placed bounties on other players. Fair enough. We all know how those order forms for Tupperware can be misconstrued.

Top prep basketball player Jabari Parker's family plans to limit his media availability over the summer in order to take some of the pressure off him.

Rap star Lil Wayne was upset last week when the Oklahoma City Thunder wouldn't fulfill his last-minute request for court-side seats. The game was sold out, but you would think they could make a Lil exception.
