Eric Foster Suffered A Gruesome Ankle Injury In Tonight's Bucs-Colts Game
I think it's safe to say Colts defensive tackle Eric Foster will not play again this season after his right foot got stuck under a teammate as he fell. It's kind of nasty, but you can just watch what happened....
Your Hank Williams Jr.-Free Colts-Buccaneers Open Thread
Do your Monday Night Football nasty, everyone. There are Colts, and there are Buccaneers, and these teams are playing one another on ESPN at 8:30 p.m. EDT.

Fox Sports announced today, per USA Today, that once-blond nuisance (and current White Sox starting catcher) AJ Pierzynski would join Eric Karros' pompadour and the formerly frosted, still gelled tips of Chris Rose on Fox's World Series pregame and postgame coverage.

It Looks Like A Mississippi State Football Player Urinated In The Hedges At Georgia The Other Day
They cherish those bushes at Georgia's Sanford Stadium, where football games are said to be played "Between the Hedges." Maybe sophomore defensive back Nickoe Whitley just lost something in there and happened to be photographed at a rather unfortunate moment. Maybe Whitley was just joking around. O...

<em>Moneyball</em> Author Michael Lewis Is The Most Powerful Man In The Universe
Michael Lewis isn't just a disturbingly prolific journalist who elevated Billy Beane to mythic status.
