Iowa State Football
TALKIN' SHOP. Offensive Coordinator Tom Manning sits down with John Walters and the CyCast to talk about his relationship with Matt Campbell and his offensive philosophy.
Iowa State Basketball
THIS WOULD HAVE ENDED POORLY. Jimmy Butler told Bill Simmons on his podcast that he was almost a Cyclone, which would have given Greg McDermott five future NBA players to fail with.
USA Soccer

BROOKS BEATS EM BACK. They did on the back of Jon Brooks, who's doing more than his part to hold down what had previously been a leaky back end for the Americans.

HE STILL KEEPS IT IN PERSPECTIVE. Craig Sager had the privilege to work his first NBA Finals game and LeBron made note of that in his postgame interview.
Around the Country
SHOULD THE BIG XII KICK OUT BAYLOR? Stewart Mandel tackles this question over at Fox Sports.
BRILES BEARS DOWN ON BAYLOR. Art Briles rips Baylor and claims that they wrongfully terminated him. I imagine his case will turn out to look at lot like McDonalds food going through a juicer.
