Wow.

From ESPN.com…
National League MVP Ryan Braun, who last season led the Milwaukee Brewers to their first division title in nearly three decades, has tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug and faces a 50-game suspension if the initial finding is upheld, two sources familiar with the case told “Outside the Lines.”

Major League Baseball has not announced the positive test because Braun is disputing the result through arbitration.

One day after a source told ESPNChicago.com’s Michael C. Wright that Favre would listen to the injury-riddled Bears if Chicago came calling, a high-ranking Bears source told ESPN’s Ed Werder on Tuesday that the team has no interest in signing the 42-year-old quarterback.
ESPN is reporting that the rumor ESPN reported a day earlier has been contradicted by a source to ESPN. And that’s the nightmare of Brett Favre speculation, amazingly still going on. From “Brett Favre Says He’s Staying Retired”

ESPN compiled a video of the best-ever scenes from March Madness, which happens tonight.

Michigan State’s Tom Izzo has made some hilarious entrances, and Billy Donovan dropping and shattering a fake national championship glass trophy was classic.

ESPN’s annual Body issue is online, including its “Bodies We Want 2011” gallery of nude athletes.

Pictured here are two U.S. Olympians, speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno and gymnast Alicia Sacramone.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to stand in front of a mirror and cry for 10 minutes.

ESPN’s Tim  Kurkjian shares his ranking of the top 10 Yankees of all time, placing Derek Jeter ninth, behind Bill Dickey.

TK says that Jeter will move up a bit before he retires, but Buster Olney still thinks he’s nuts, placing Jeter as high as fourth right now. Kurkjian responds that ranking Jeter ahead of either Joe DiMaggio or Yogi Berra is not even up for discussion.

I’m more on TK’s side than Olney’s, but I think Jeter can rank as high as sixth, behind Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle, DiMaggio and Berra. But is Jeter even the greatest player of his Yankees generation? Marino Rivera deserves a spot on that top-10 list, as well.
