Wednesday Blogdome: Don't mess with Shanna

* Shanna McLaughlin Really Likes UCF Football. On if there is outrage over the photo shoot: “Apparently. This is kind of come about really, really suddenly. I am surprised that it’s getting so much attention. It’s really bizarre… I would think that whoever approved it would have done a little bit of research with aXis Magazine. For August, they always do a feature on UCF incorporating some kind of football theme. It’s kind of given what it’s all about since all of their covers are pretty much the same. I’m kind of just surprised with the administration’s reaction to everything.” [Sports Radio Interviews]
* Nets Jet: NBA Team Requests To Change Name. The change, if it happens, would coincide with the team’s future move to Brooklyn. Just for fun, here’s some possible team names that immediately came to mind when I thought about the new regime era in Nets basketball. [SportsbyBrooks]

* Raiders Join in the Rookie Haircut Hazing. Safety Tyvon Branch posted some pictures of the haircuts the veterans gave the rookies on his twitter page. With so many teams participating in the practice, it’s hard to find anything too original these days. Regardless, the Raiders found a way to make it happen. The two face look in particular was priceless. [Larry Brown Sports]
