In Blackout Roulette, Jags To Bet It All On...Teal?
Sixteen years ago, one grassroots organization brought the Jaguars to Jacksonville. Now they're back, doing everything they can to keep them there. (Note: "everything they can" appears limited to coupons for nachos and soda at one game.)...

Old Logic: France Surrenders. New Logic: France Cheats
Ireland's World Cup dreams die, and France's live on, thanks to a goal that saw two strikers clearly offside, and a pair of blatant Thierry Henry handball assists to boot. The Irish, as you might expect, aren't taking this well....
Chicago Has Pretty Much Completely Turned On Jay Cutler
It's bad; they've taken to calling him "Jay McNown." But the beleaguered QB finds an unlikely defender in the father of former Bears washout Rex Grossman. Dan Grossman's endorsement floated 50 yards and was intercepted by Brian Griese. [Chicago Tribune]...
Watch This, Then Go Check Your Water Supply For Drugs
No words...They should have sent a poet....
Los Angeles: Where Football Goes To Die
The UFL's Locomotives had planned to play a "home game" at the Home Depot Center Friday, but canceled it after concerns about ticket sales. Fitting, since good taste drove the Rams and Raiders out of town too. [LA Daily News]...
Wrestling Still Real On One Misguided Continent
It's laughable that some American newspapers put pro wrestling in the sports section, but it could be worse. It could be in the news section, as it is for one Aussie paper that doesn't seem to understand it's fake....
Hey Dude In The Back...What Number Is Kansas Ranked?

The Charlie Weis Death Watch Flies Under The Radar
Notre Dame is so desperate to pretend they haven't decided to fire Weis, they've blocked their private plane (also known as the SchmoozeJet) from being tracked on the Internet. Though odds are 2:1 it's been to Palo Alto....
Beat That, Dr. James Andrews
Arsenal striker Robin van Persie plans to treat his injured ankle by smothering it in placental fluid. Funny, because that description fairly well sums up Cristiano Ronaldo's fling with Paris Hilton. [Guardian]...
Ex-Patriots Rough Up Some Children For Charity
Cameramen aren't the only people who need to be wary around the Patriots. A lesson learned too late for some students who thought they were going to meet their heroes in the name of a good cause. Instead: carnage....
Silverdome Sold For The Price Of Two Practice Squad Players
The unused stadium went for $583,000 at auction, and could be the future home of an MLS team. That might sound cheap, but it's still 583,000 times more expensive than some other Detroit properties. [CNNMoney]...
Dodgeball Lawsuit Makes Me Fear For The Manliness Of Our Youth
A kid got nailed in the face during a dodgeball game at his school, and now he might sue the city. Maybe he needs to sue evolution for not giving him the reflexes to survive in middle school gym class....
No One Films The Belichick In Failure
The NFL Films cameraman gets taken down hard by one of the Dark Lord's minions (or his camera's cable), and Bill bids him a fond farewell. (Bonus animated gif, after the jump!)...
Let's See Just How Cheap Larry Bird Is (MORE UPDATES)
Dear Mr. Bird: Industry has fled. Our budget deficit is more than $1 billion. You are very rich. Do you really need to collect this 80 bucks we owe you? Sincerely, Indiana....
Pittsburgh Fandom Is A Very Sparkly Fandom
Do you know what a Blingee is? I hope not, because these obscenely garish animated gifs are only used by 13-year-old girls on their Geocities pages...or by Penguins fans. [DC Sports Bog]...
David Duval To Lose His Tour Card
There's a familiar face missing from the leaderboard on the final day of the last PGA Tour event of the season. The problem for Duval is that he's been missing from an awful lot of PGA weekends....
Even A Chris Simms Sighting Can't Ruin Today's Games
Dear NFL. Sorry for making fun of the crappy games every week. I guess you heard my complaints, because every single game today was within a score at the start of the fourth quarter....
Your Late Games Open Thread
See all those empty seats in St. Louis? Here's a nifty article on the shady math teams use to claim sellouts and avoid TV blackouts. I guess Jacksonville is either very honest, or not good at math. [St. Louis Post-Dispatch]...
Incompetent Soccer Child Is Also Adorable
Good thing this little girl lives in America. If this were Colombia, she'd be murdered for her own goal. (And if it were China, she would have been aborted five years ago for being a girl.)...
