3. Sports Illustrated -- Si Kids
   The partnership between Sports Illustrated and Gotuit moves beyond On-Demand content viewing, but enters the realm of interactive television. This viewing experience will be a hit with sports fans, especially college students that have broadband connections and frequently access content via the web. And once again, it’s a sign of a video provider serving up its technology platform, rather than placing all its bets on a consumer-facing site.
4. Children and Sports
   The SOS Children's Village consists of 15 family houses for the children and mothers, some offices, a SOS kindergarten, which is attended by nearly 100 children, and sports facilities. An SOS Youth Facility is ... included to the SOS Children's Village Port Elizabeth, where youths live during the time of their vocational training or education and prepare themselves for an independent life under the guidance of their youth leaders. In January 2002 a SOS Social Centre, giving support to HIV/AIDS affected families, was opened.
5. Kenny Troutt -- Bill Casner
   The dynamic WinStar Farm owners, entrepreneurs Kenny Troutt and Bill Casner, have efficiently transferred the business acumen that brought them success in such ventures as Excel Communications to the raising of champion Thoroughbreds. Since their purchase of the former Prestonwood Farm in early 2000, Troutt and Casner have transformed WinStar into one of the country's leading operations. In addition to a stallion roster that includes 2002 leading freshman sire Distorted Humor and dual Breeders' Cup Classic (G1) winner Tiznow, WinStar has bred such outstanding horses as dual classic winner and champion three-year-old Funny Cide and Irish highweight One Cool Cat.
6. Radio (2003) -- Coach Jones
   James Robert Kennedy--nicknamed ‘Radio’ because of his vintage radio collection and his love of music--is a loner in Anderson, South Carolina, pushing his ever-present grocery cart up and down the streets. He speaks to no one and is rarely spoken to, until one day, Coach Harold Jones, one of the town’s most respected men, and coach of the popular high school football team, befriends him. Radio is suspicious at first. But Coach Jones is persistent, even enlisting the help of Radio’s mother. Jones’ friends and family are taken aback as well since, until he met Radio, all his energies were poured exclusively into football. Slowly, Coach Jones earns Radio’s trust and opens up a new world to him.
7. Amen Corner
   Amen Corner was a Welsh R&B-tinged pop band of the '60s featuring singer Andy Fairweather Low, organist Blue Weaver, guitarist Neil Jones, bassist Clive Taylor, saxophonists Allen Jones and Mike Smith, and drummer Dennis Bryon. They scored the first of their six British chart hits with "Gin House" in the summer of 1967. "(If Paradise Is) Half as Nice" went to number one in early 1969. By then, Fairweather Low had become a teenage heartthrob and the band had switched management and record companies, but they split up by the end of the year. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide

10. Jay Mohr -- New Jersey
    This will mark the third Deadspin post this month about Jay Mohr's new gig, which is QUITE FRANKLY far more attention than he deserves, but golly, this is too good to resist: He's gone and got himself a blog. And it's brimming with treasure: More»
