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...

Morning Blogdome: The Smorgasbord Is No More
• The Smorgasbord is dead, long live the Smorgasbord: "The particulars aren't important, or even interesting, but when it came down to it, it just didn't make sense to give the Smorgasbord the time and effort it requires.

Some of your favorite sports bloggers are in Las Vegas this weekend for something called BlogWorldExpo 2008. Very little sex shall be had at this event.
