POORLY RECEIVED Daytona 500 grand marshal/failed Oscar host James Franco caused some Twitter outroar by saying, "Drivers ... and Danica! ... start your engines!"
SEE IT UP CLOSE A fan posted his too-close-for-comfort view of Saturday's frightening Daytona crash on YouTube; it was taken down but then put back up.

A writer at Athlon Sports ranked the head coaches in men's college football and basketball both nationally and by conference. The peg? It was not by individual coach but rather by duo. So how did the duo of Tubby Smith and Jerry Kill rank? Well, sixth out of 12 (top half) in the Big Ten and 33rd nationally. Both coaches take some heat from local fans, so it was interesting to see how they are viewed from the outside.
