Ataira Franklin poured in 23 points for the Virginia women’s basketball team Thursday night, but it was not enough to overcome North Carolina State, as the Cavaliers fell 80-59 to the Wolfpack in Raleigh for their fifth straight loss.

NFL combine: please add salt

It seems strange to me that February, a month with only one — admittedly “Super” — game, manages to be one of the most important months for football. I’ve taken to calling it “Meat Market Month” lately because of its focus on the rampant commoditization of athletes.
