Someone Spit In DeAngelo Hall's Face And It Wasn't Pac-Man Jones
I realize that this isn't breaking any new ground, but man, Terrell Owens is a sensitive guy. DeAngelo Hall, who engages in some friendly trash talk with Terrell Owens on the phone from time to time, did some of that same trash talking to Owens during the Cowboys/Falcons game last night. Owens spi...
About Last Night...
• NFL: Cowboys 38, Falcons 28. It seems strange that Morten Andersen is the NFL's all-time best scorer. It's like Dan Dickau holding the same record in the NBA. • College Basketball: Texas Tech 71, Arkansas 56. Bob Knight's now just one win away from Dean Smith's record. Bob Knight still doesn't car...
Jim Mora Jr. Might Still Be The Coach, And Michael Vick Might Still Be The Quarterback
The NFL Network is the broadcast home of tonight's Cowboys vs. Falcons game, which means, of course, that many of you can't see it. Which makes this open thread even more important ... it might just be the best live coverage of the game that you can get....
Woody Paige Fingers Terry Glenn
If you were watching Around the Horn yesterday (just kidding, I know you weren't), you might have seen Woody Paige reveal the locker-room snitch that Terrell Owens told Michael Irvin all about. Owens said in the ESPN interview that someone inside the Dallas organization made it a point to tell the...

You've probably heard by now about former Cowboys quarterback Quincy Carter's arrest yesterday. Carter was charged with possession of marijuana after police showed up for a complaint about a domestic disturbance....
About Last Night...
• NHL: Penguins 7, Islanders 4. Sidney Crosby and Mark Recchi both had a goal and three assists, Ryan Malone had a had trick, and Crosby's the only name mentioned in the headline.

The Logical Extension of "Moneyball"
OK, this is pretty awesome. From our friends at The Griddle comes this video of the world's first baseball playing robot. When they all unite and take over the earth, we will remember this as the first warning sign. Like you wouldn't take him over Tony Womack....
More Empty Rooms Discovered In The Drafty Mansion That Is Terrell Owens' Mind
It's tough being Terrell Owens. Enemies are everywhere. There are secret documents to be decoded and then left in an isolated mailbox for government agents to pick up. Then there's all the time traveling with Darren Daulton. It's a lot of work....
The Matsuzaka Has Landed
Well, the world of Red Sox fans can breathe a sliver easier this morning; Daisuke Matsuzaka has signed his (reasonable, really) deal and is now officially a target of the Boston faithful. We find it amusing that one of the first things he had to do when his plane landed was undergo a physical; tur...

Because the land of Red Sox fans is an intense one, one that we approach gingerly and with palms spread wide open, we don't want any trouble here, we feel like we should check in on the Daisuke Matsuzaka business. We enjoy that the Red Sox Nation is up in arms and screaming about a player who sudden...
Hey, Somebody Wake Up Jordan Already
As we enter Day, what, 15? of the Where's Iverson Gonna Get Traded? countdown — we think it's a shame they can't find a way to get him to Minnesota, and we can't fathom why it makes sense to send him to Boston — we look back at yesterday's big news. Supposedly, Iverson turned down a trade to the Cha...
About Last Night ...

Smash Your Trash With Razor Ruddock
How frustrating it must be, for retired boxers everywhere, to see George Foreman having so much success in his post-boxing career. Most of these guys are screwed over in every possible way while they're fighting, and then when they retire, they have no money saved up and no marketable skills other t...
