Remember the delectable Miss Morgan? The cute-as-banana-pie USWNT player that sent hearts a-flutter during the Lady World Cup last summer?

Well, after a few fallow months, she's just exploded back onto the WAG Watch radar, being as though she's set to appear in Sports Illustrated's fabled 'swimsuit edition' in nowt but bodypaint and SI have done the decent thing by leaking a teaser.

News today thta Mike Ashley flew into Newcastle United's training ground today. Mike Ashley in Newcastle today That's interesting and apparently Mike wanted to talk face to face with Alan on plans for Newcastle's future.

Question: You guys turned a profit in your first full season in MLS

MP: Yes. I mean it will be a long time before we are profitable when you look at the money we sunk into this thing.

The year 2011 was a good one for the Fort Lauderdale Strikers. The Traffic Sports owned team which originally started out as Miami FC in 2006 rebranded last year as the born again Strikers with a new logo and uniforms to boot. Traffic pushed more money towards the organization than it ever had in the [.

The last time the New York Giants faced the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl, the Giants win was one of the biggest upsets of all-time. In the rematch, the Patriots were again favored and the Giants again ended up becoming Super Bowl champions.

In a game of run, the Giants scored the game's first nine points.

Wes Welker was arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL this season. The New England Patriots star with cat-quick reflexes was a big reason why his team made it to the Super Bowl. However, in the biggest moment of his life, Wes Welker dropped a pass a became a Super Bowl goat.

Check out the Wes Welker dropped pass video below to see the play for yourself.

This certainly isn't going to go down that well with the FA.

England manager Fabio Capello laid out his thoughts on John Terry and the FA's decision to strip him of the England captaincy to Italian broadcaster Rai 1 today. To say he's not pleased with what has transpired would be a gross understatement.

Arranca Zonkeys temporada el 8 de marzo

TIJUANA, BC.- Las acciones del deporte ráfaga de Baja California arrancarán este próximo 8 de marzo, cuando la quinteta de Tijuana Zonkeys debute en el torneo 2012 del Circuito de Baloncesto de la Costa del Pacífico (Cibacopa) ante su acérrimo rival de Mexicali Bomberos.

Former Rep of Ireland u-21 striker Eamon Zayed (28) became a hero for his new Iranian club Persepolis Tehran after he scored a late,late hat-trick to secure a 3-2 win in the Tehran derby last night.

Persepolis trailed 2-0 with just nine minutes remaining on the clock before Zayed found his scoring boots to fire a hat-trick in just over 10 minutes.

The new Indian League franchise got their squads ready during the week, with a fantasy league type auction.

The six week run tournament, seen each team bid for an "Icon" player and a foreign coach set up in the same style as the Indian one day cricket format currently used to great effect.

Peyton Manning wants to keep playing football. Even though he has a neck injury that has required three surgeries, there's no quit in the quarterbacking legend. While the talk regarding whether or not he'll play for the Indianapolis Colts will continue, one thing is for certain: he'll play somewhere.

JOSH. Fortunately, he won't be playing against us. Nevertheless, this is going to be hella difficult.

You can make the Super Bowl even funner to watch by laying down some money on a few prop bets. While there are dozens and dozens of prop bets available, here are a couple of our favorites. Oh, and we'll tell you how to bet!

How many yards will the first touchdown go for?
While it's tempting to bet the 1-7 yards option, that isn't the smart bet.

One rumor making the rounds in the NBA has the Philadelphia 76ers interested in Amare Stoudemire of the New York Knicks. Although Stoudemire is off to a slow start this season, another team may want to acquire him and surround him with better players.

That said, that team is not the Sixers.

Fans of the New York Yankees have made Jim Hendry jokes for years. The longtime general manager of the Chicago Cubs could never replicate the success of the Yankees. But now, the joke is on the Yankees fans because the team has hired Hendry to be an assistant general manager.

According to reports, Hendry was given a multi-year contract and his job duties will mostly deal with aiding Brian Cashman, the GM of the Yankees.

Baron Davis is getting closer and closer to returning to the NBA. However, his return won't be this week. Mike D'Antoni on Tuesday said that Davis won't return until next week. Though he hasn't suffered a setback, D'Antoni says the trainers want Davis to be careful.

Davis missed the entire season with a herniated disk in his back.

If you loved Phil Jackson's last book (who didn't), I have good news for you: The legendary coach is coming out with a new book. Entitled "Eleven Rings," the book will likely give updates since his last book was written in 2004. Since then, Jackson's legacy grew even more as he added a pair of championships with the Los Angeles Lakers.

The New England Patriots and their fans continue to hold their breath in regards to the playing status of Rob Gronkowski. Arguably the most dominating player on the entire team, Gronkowski has been dealing with a high ankle sprain that may keep him out of the Super Bowl.

However, there is some good news to report.

The Los Angeles Lakers need a new point guard. While Derek Fisher is a champion and can still provide great moments, he's no longer a starting quality point guard in the NBA. The Lakers admitted that when they attempted to trade for Chris Paul.

The Lakers are rumored to have another target in mind: Ramon Sessions of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Alistair Overeem, a UFC heavyweight who is considered one of the top contenders in the world, has been charged with battery in Las Vegas. According to police, Overeem pushed a woman and caused her to fall backwards.

Considering that Overeem is 6-foot-5 and weights more than 260 pounds, I hope the judge throws the book at this fool.

With the Olympics looming ever closer, understandably security will be a main concern for the London 2012 organizing committee. It looks as though they are on top of things in this respect, having carried out a security test in Scotland recently. The rehearsal took place at the semi-final of the Scottish Communities League Cup between Ayr and Kilmarnock, which the latter won in extra time, and involved fans.

The news goes from bad to worse for the Orlando Magic. The team is already struggling and now they will have to play without their starting point guard for at least the coming week. Jameer Nelson is suffering from concussion-like symptoms.

Nelson was injured during a game against the New Orleans Hornets.

Manu Ginobili of the San Antonio Spurs is getting closer and closer to being ready to return to action. After breaking his hand on January 2nd against the Minnesota Timberwolves, doctors told Ginobili that he'd need about six weeks to recover.

However, Ginobili appears to be a bit ahead of schedule.

The New York Yankees are looking into adding some depth on their roster by signing Bill Hall. Hall can play multiple positions in both the infield and the outfield. Last season, he played with the Houston Astros and San Francisco Giants.

In 185 at-bats last season, Hall hit only .211 with two homers and 14 RBIs.

Peyton Hillis has had a very interesting couple seasons with the Cleveland Browns. In 2010, Hillis took the league by storm and was one of the best running backs in the league. Heading into the 2011 campaign, big things were expected out of him. However, he struggled mightily on the field and clashed with teammates off the field.

It's only a matter of time that the Indianapolis Colts let Peyton Manning walk. Since they have the No. 1 pick in the 2012 NFL Draft and will select Andrew Luck, the Colts will let go of Manning and go in a different direction.

With that in mind, where will Manning end up? Well, first of all, since he's dealing with a neck injury, there's a chance he will retire.

The Indianapolis Colts tried to bring on Keith Butler to become the team's new defensive coordinator. However, Butler has decided to instead stay with the Pittsburgh Steelers as the team's linebackers coach. The Colts and head coach Chuck Pagano will have to look elsewhere.

Why would Butler turn down the promotion?

The 2012 NHL Draft is still a ways away. It will take place at Consol Energy Center in the city of Pittsburgh starting on July 22nd. However, it's never too early to take a look at the best prospect available for the draft.

While there are a number of international players at the top of the list, there is also quite a bit of domestic talent.

The defending NBA champions are heating up. On Monday night, they went out on the road and destroyed the Phoenix Suns. However, the Suns did have an excuse: they were without future Hall of Famer Steve Nash.

The Mavs led 96-70 heading into the fourth quarter before cruising to a 122-99 victory.

Over the weekend, fans of the Pittsburgh Penguins were scared by news that Sidney Crosby has a neck injury. However, it appears as if the neck injury isn't serious. Why do I say that? I say that because Sidney Crosby was back on the ice on Monday and skated with some teammates during a short workout.

Coming into the season, the Portland Trail Blazers were viewed as a potential sleeper in the race to win the championship of the Western Conference. The Utah Jazz, on the other hand, supposedly didn't have a chance to make the playoffs. Things done changed.

On Monday, the Jazz beat the Blazers 93-89 and now have a one-game lead over Portland in the West.

Blake Griffin had a night to remember on Monday. While it ended with a 112-100 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder, everyone was talking about something else: Blake Griffin's dunk over Kendrick Perkins. If you haven't seen it, you must click the link and watch the video.

Including those amazing two points, Griffin poured in 22 points, seven rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks.

Last year in the playoffs, the Memphis Grizzlies shocked the world when they defeated the San Antonio Spurs in the first round. The Grizzlies were the eighth seed and the Spurs were the first seed. It was only the fourth time in NBA history that an eighth seed had beaten a first seed.

But so far this season, the Spurs have been able to get their revenge.

Since there hasn't been much trash talking between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants leading up to the Super Bowl, the media has to stretch any controversial quote that arises. Here's yet another example. Antrel Rolle, a safety for the Giants, expressed what he thought when he hopped on the jet to fly to Indianapolis for the Super Bowl.

Buckle up. This is one of the best dunks you will ever see. Watch below to see the Blake Griffin video in which he dunks over the top of Kendrick Perkins. Hide all women and children before you watch the video. I'm warning you now.

In the Blake Griffin video, he runs a pick-and-roll with Chris Paul.

Nic Batum is one of the most exciting small forwards in the NBA to watch. He's huge but he can shoot, run, dunk and play defense. Unfortunately, the Portland Trail Blazers may be without him for a while due to a knee injury.

Watch the Nic Batum video below to see his knee buckle in the game between the Blazers and the Utah Jazz.
