Miami Dolphins' Richie Incognito is far from 1st bully in team sports

Typically here at The Heat Index we prefer to take a lighter, humorous tone on the sports topics of the day. Unfortunately, bullying isn't very funny.

ASU basketball opens season with blowout win over UMBC

This week, Arizona State coach Herb Sendek said the Sun Devils were scrimmaging twice a week, an effort to put as many players in different situations. That carried over to Friday's opener, the coach trying out different parts, using nine players in the game's first eight minutes, 10 in the first half. The conclusion: Outside of a few players, Sendek - despite the 96-61 over Maryland-Baltimore County -- isn't sure what he has with this team. And that's fine. No doubt most teams across the country - if not all - are in a similar situation. ASU just might not have as long to figure it out this season simply because of the non-conference schedule. It has bite.

Arizona Cardinals' Tyrann Mathieu moves to first string

The Cardinals' official depth chart this week confirmed the obvious: rookie Tyrann Mathieu is now starting in place of Rashad Johnson at free safety. Johnson missed two games and was limited in a couple of others after suffering a severed fingertip against the Saints. He was healthy enough to start two weeks ago against the Falcons, yet it was Mathieu at safety in the base defense.
