Did That Really Happen?
Did you follow Jay Bilas's tweets shaming the NCAA for profiting off its own players? Weigh in on Tiger vs. Chamblee? Take sides in the public spat between Clippers coach Doc Rivers and analyst Bill Simmons? This week, SI.com looks back at the year's most provocative media feuds and at the wildest and wackiest stories in sports media. Plus, Richard Deitsch talks with Charles Barkley and presents his 2013 Media Awards, including Person of the Year, Announcing Team of the Year and Best Studio Show.
