Former Cowboy Carter 'Jets' to New York

·

Quincy Carter ended up replacing the quarterback who took his spot in Dallas. In an odd switch, the quarterback cut by the Cowboys signed with the New York Jets on Tuesday and will back up Chad Pennington. Pennington's backup last season was 40-year-old Vinny Testaverde, who was released by the Jets in June and became the Cowboys' starter when Carter was let go.

Hayes wins 100 hurdles as favorite Felicien falls early

·

ATHENS, Greece -- Joanna Hayes screamed as she crossed the finish line of the 100-meter hurdles in Olympic-record time. About 90 meters behind her, world champion Perdita Felicien lay flat on the ground, crying in disbelief. Felicien stepped on the first hurdle, tumbling to the ground and taking Irina Shevchenko of Russia with her. All Felicien could do was watch Hayes win in 12.37 seconds, breaking the Olympic record of 12.38 set by Bulgaria's Yordanka Donkova 16 years ago. After the race, Felicien still couldn't believe what happened.

Colts' Harrison has lofty goals

·

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- Marvin Harrison defines success his own way. He doesn't need to showboat after touchdowns, compare himself with other receivers or worry about his profile. In Harrison's world, anonymity is preferred to hype, productivity to publicity. Now entering his ninth NFL season with the Indianapolis Colts, the soft-spoken five-time Pro Bowler adheres to the same, simple philosophy with which he entered the league: Stay healthy, work hard, catch passes and win games.

PARIS -- All people saw, on first pass, was a yellow flash tucked within the blur of blue that led the pack down the Champs-Elysees. But that was all it took. Paris yelled its heart out. Lance Armstrong, the 32-year-old Texan who fought past cancer to get back on his bike, was the first six-time victor in the 101-year history of Tour de France, surely the world's most grueling athletic event.

Professor of the pigskin

·

Students and colleagues of African-American Studies professor John McCluskey might know of his Harvard education. But he's less likely to reveal to them a piece of information that might win a few bar bets and prove his role as a football pioneer. McCluskey, who played for Harvard from 1962-65, was the first black student to start at quarterback in the history of the Ivy League.
