How many page views is it worth for a writer to lose her or his credibility? How many clicks for a news platform to lose its readers’ trust?

The Baltimore Book Festival kicks off today with three full days of readings, music and more. Here are my top picks.

"I'm 27. I'm retired. But I still want to compete." That's Olympic champion Michael Phelps talking in "The Haney Project," a Golf Channel series that stars Tiger Woods' one-time coach taking on a new celebrity student each season. Phelps' words pretty much summarize the premise of this year's edition, which starts Monday night.

With rumors circulating that legendary quarterback Brett Favre is joining "Dancing with the Stars," the sports blogosphere is close to imploding on itself (and I'm now contributing to it, too). If the rumors are true, Favre will follow in the dance steps of retired greats such as Emmitt Smith, Kurt Warner and Jerry Rice when the 12th season of the ABC hit show debuts March 21.
