Pierre-Paul, who outweighs Amukamara by roughly 70 pounds

Pierre-Paul, who outweighs Amukamara by roughly 70 pounds, offered only the slightest of apologies for the incident.

"It was a little something that happens in here, and it got leaked out," Pierre-Paulsaid. "I'm not embarrassed [by] it. We're all family in this locker room. I feel like me and Prince, we're cool. All the guys that were on there were cool It was just fun and games, and the media took it out of proportion."

Pierre-Paul didn't apologize to Amukamara, and the Giants' star pass-rusher didn't sound as if he had any plans to do so, either.

Liu came to London with injuries hanging over him

On China's Central Television, commentator Yang Jian cried out when Liu fell during the live broadcast. "He is ending the London Games in the cruelest way you can imagine," said Yang, who began to choke up.

"Liu Xiang is a warrior," Yang said.

Liu came to London with injuries hanging over him, and his Chinese fans cheered with more caution about getting their hopes too high.

His fall nevertheless shocked and saddened supporters, who were posting crying emoticon faces on the microblogging site Sina Weibo, where the topic was trending.

A top CommunistParty official phoned Liu in London to show the country's support for him, the official Xinhua news Agency reported Wednesday.

Foster committed to the Crimson Tide

Foster, a five-star inside linebacker, announced his decision in the cafeteria of his high school. Foster previously starred at Troup County High in LaGrange, Ga., before his head coach was fired at the end of the school year. In August, he crossed both state and enemy lines by transferring to Auburn High School, a stone's throw from the Auburn University campus.
Foster committed to the Crimson Tide last July and maintained he was 100 percent with Alabama -- until now. In front of a room with plenty of Auburn supporters, Foster held up his daughter, A'Ziya, and unzipped her sweatsuit to reveal an Auburn Tigers cheerleading uniform underneath. He then put an Auburn hat on, posed for photos and made his verbal commitment official.

Philadelphia's Dion Waiters was chosen too high

A number of draft pundits have suggested that South Philadelphia's Dion Waiters was chosen too high. The Syracuse sophomore, who played his final two high school seasons at Burlington's Life Center, was taken No. 4 by the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Too high? Not for the Cavs.

"I think we got a steal," coach Byron Scott told the media on draft night."

This is the second year the Cavs picked a player at No. 4 who was projected by mock draftologists to go lower. Last year it was 6-9 Texas freshman Tristan Thompson, who averaged 8.2 points in 23.7 minutes for the Cavs.

Woods, who would finish 7-over par and six shots

Woods, who would finish 7-over par and six shots off the winning score, immediately played himself out of contention, playing bogey golf early on. He was 6-over par on his first six holes and 10-over for the tournament, 11 shots out of the lead.

Meanwhile, up ahead of Woods playing the back nine was Mickelson, who never got it going all week — a week that began with Mickelson losing a ball on his first tee shot Thursday. That ended being a foreshadowing of things to come for his week.

"It was a challenging test,'' Mickelson said. "I didn't play well. If you played anything less than perfect golf it was extremely penalizing … and I played far from perfect.''

Guardiola was left wondering whether luck was simply

Guardiola was left wondering whether luck was simply against the club following a spectacular run of success that has brought 13 trophies since he took over in 2008.

"I have a feeling that sometimes football is like this. To be honest, I just think that this year was not our turn. This year, it seems like we couldn't do it and that's it.

"I am sorry if I am not very clear but I have a lot of emotions inside right now. Maybe in time I will see things more clearly. I don't even know how I feel really. I don't know what to tell the players about why they are not in the final Yes we are sad but it's not our saddest night."

The decision on whether to charge Zimmerman

"I can tell you we did not come to this decision lightly," Corey told a news conference in Jacksonville.

"Let me emphasize that we do not prosecute by public pressure or by petition. We prosecute based on the facts of any given case as well as the laws of the state of Florida."

The decision on whether to charge Zimmerman, for the death of Martin, 17, had rested with Corey since she was appointed by Florida's governor on March 22.

The firestorm of protests forced Sanford's police chief to step aside and the regularly assigned prosecutor to remove himself from the case on March 22, leading to Corey's appointment.
