The ball was flying all over Turner Field last night, what with the Giants and Braves combining for six home runs, including four in extra innings.

This Sun Sports Scouting Report On Rays Pitcher Matt Moore Is Just So Informative
Matt Moore made his 18th start of the season last night for the Rays, so there's plenty of data out there on him and his tendencies. That didn't stop Rays TV analyst Brian Anderson from using the word "command" eight times and "fastball" nine times before the first inning was even over, though....

Penn State's Student Ticket Campout Group Will No Longer Be Called Paternoville
Penn State students have pitched tents outside Beaver Stadium in order to score the best seats for that week's football game for nearly 20 years.

Chris Webber Refers To Ron Jeremy Instead Of Ron Burgundy During NBA Summer League Broadcast
Not sure what about this I like best: Webber making the mistaken Anchorman reference at the 22-second mark, the nearly 10 seconds of awkward silence until he corrects himself, or the minute-plus the rest the broadcast crew then spends laughing at him. It's a hard one....

Terrell Owens Misses Child Support Hearing, Could Face Jail Time
So says Atlanta television station WSB, which had a reporter on the scene when T.O. no-showed a court appearance yesterday.
