n NASCAR has reinstated Jeremy Clements following completion of stipulations set after the driver made insensitive remarks in an interview.
Clements is eligible to race this weekend at Bristol Motor Speedway, but will be on probation until Sept. 13.
Clements was sent to a sports diversity expert by NASCAR following his suspension for violating the sanctioning body's code of conduct. NASCAR determined Clements made an "intolerable and insensitive remark" during an interview with a blogger for MTV News.
n Ray Lewis will keep on talking now that his playing career is over.
ESPN officially announced Wednesday that the two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year will be joining the network as a studio analyst. The 37-year-old Lewis revealed in January that he would retire after 17 seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, and the fearsome linebacker went out with a Super Bowl title.
Lewis will travel to the site of each week's "Monday Night Football" matchup to take part in pregame and postgame coverage. He will also appear on "Sunday NFL Countdown" and ESPN Radio.
"These tournaments are for fans. Honestly, we've kind of been very laid back going into this tournament in terms of saying, 'Hey, let's go have some fun and play some basketball.' That's sort of how we've always been." -- Ohio State men's coach Thad Matta, on the Big Ten tournament.
Pete Kauffman's coverage of the PIAA Class AA Swimming and Diving Championships will be featured on Friday, along with his preview of the weekend's Class AAA competiton. Also look for plenty of college hoops action.
