Because no one reads the newspaper, and SportsCenter's anchors are too perky for this early in the morning, Deadspin combs the best of the broadsheets and internets to bring you everything you need to know to start your day.

* Hmm. It seems the New York Post iPhone app somehow mixed up Ben Roethlisberger with noted lady murderer Joran Van Der Sloot even though they are totally two different people that have NOTHING in common. That's crazy, right? [Found by readers Benny and David]

* Dear Avery Johnson: Hope you like borscht! [New York Daily News]

* Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli figured that since he was already suspended for the 2010 season, why not just drive around with an expired license and a bag of marijuana in his car? Yes, that was bad decision making. [Oregonian]

* John Wall is rich. And they all lived happily ever after.... [Yahoo]

* Oh, and not that I need to tell you, but Calvin Lathan is the Nebraska State Checkers Champion. I don't know, maybe your DVR was broken or something. [Omaha World-Herald]
