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 the blogosphere to bring you everything you need to know to start your day.
•Panic in the Gateway City: Albert Pujols says he's in no rush to sign a contract extension. He made the comments to a Dominican radio station, perhaps reminded of the fact that they were the first fellow Dominicans he's seen since moving to St. Louis.

•The NBA has officially changed the traveling rules, now allowing players two steps before being whistled. Let's see... at 63 years per step added, it'll only be 2198 before the refs actually call the rulebook.
