Afternoon Blogdome: Saving Mike Vick's Dogs
• They're probably eating better than their former owner is at the moment: "According the National Geographic Channel, 22 dogs formerly owned by the former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick are, like their former owner, all fenced in. Vick is in Kansas. The 22 dogs, which are nearly half the...
Lou Holtz Is Down With Hugh
So, Lou Holtz apologized for his Hitler remarks from last night. If anyone has video of this, feel free to send along. Another guy who might have to issue an apology (a very personal one) is Terry Bowden, who wrote that his brother Tommy deserved to get canned. Texas Tech and Texas A&M are locked i...
Ain't no panic in these Tampa Bay Rays; only bravado: “We don’t go up there and think, Now we’ve got to beat Beckett — no one cares about Beckett,” the Rays’ Cliff Floyd said. “Face him the same way you face everybody else. If anything, Beckett should be worried about us. We just beat him.” [NY Time...
The Edmonton Oilers Will Not Tolerate Your Live-Blogging Shenanigans
Last Sunday, the proprietor of the Covered in Oil blog was live-blogging the Oilers-Avalanche game. There was just one tiny problem. It was in violation of his press pass, or something. Turns out that the blogger actually has an MSM job, for which his tasks mostly consist of grabbing player quotes ...

Bonnie Bernstein's Legs Open Momentarily; DVR's Perk Up
On Tuesday morning's First Take, in the first hour (at about the :39 minute mark), many readers alerted us to what transpired. And what happened, friends, was Bonnie Bernstein momentarily forgetting that she was wearing a skirt on television, and when she adjusted herself, well, let's just say that...
Kenny George, UNC Asheville's 7-foot-9, 375 pound center had part of his foot amputated, which will likely mean the end of his hoops career: “This just breaks our heart,” said coach Dave VanderMeulen of Chicago Latin, where George played in high school. “I've talked to Kenny, and he's dealing with w...

In Gus We Trust
Gus Frerotte, the journeyman QB, may have saved the Vikings' season this afternoon. Behind Frerotte's 37-year old arm, and a relentless defense, the Vikes extinguished Carolina 20-10 and notched their first victory of this young NFL year.

You Should Let Joey Porter Pick Your Lottery Numbers
• Miami at New England: Last week, Joey Porter did Joey Porter things, as he completely emasculated Pats QB Matt Cassell in front of the media. Joey must have said his prayers, because God did not smite him by having Cassell put up a monster day. Quite the opposite, actually. Tom Brady's replacemen...
Chad Pennington Is Playing Well; Yes, You Read That Correctly
• Miami at New England: Prior to the game, Dolphins Tony Sparano coach hinted that his defenders would look to get physical with Randy Moss today, and judging from his play so far (3 catches for 18 yards in the first half), I'd say that plan is working to perfection. Miami led 21-6 at the half. (Oh...
The Houston Astros Politely Reject Bud Selig's Apology
When Hurricane Ike rained on the party inside Minute Maid Park in Houston last weekend, Bud Selig infamously made the Astros play two games at a "neutral site", Milwaukee's Miller Park. As you can imagine, this was not well received in the Astros' clubhouse. Houston, which had been red hot prior to...
