Sunday Night Football: Chargers @ Broncos
You've got LaDainian Tomlinson trying to be the fastest to get to 100 TDs, you've got a struggling Jake Plummer trying to hold onto his starting job, you've got an important game between two AFC teams with legit Super Bowl hopes... but I don't think game previews get any more insightful or poignant ...
To Watch Tonight...
• NBA: Chicago Bulls @ Los Angeles Lakers. I would take Scott Skiles to win a fight against any other NBA coach. 8:00, ESPN. • College Basketball: Mississippi @ UConn. Perhaps a bit of a step up in competition for UConn after yesterday's contest against Fairfield. 8:00, ESPNU. • NFL: San Diego Charg...

Dodgers Release Crack Smuggling Minor Leaguer
Kengshill Scheider Pujols is a minor league pitcher with the Vero Beach Dodgers, and the man stuffed 118 bags of crack cocaine into his underwear. The unfortunate thing about it is that he didn't even wait for "Stuff Bags of Crack-Cocaine in Your Underwear" night at Vero Beach, and almost certainly ...
Taking Down The Field Goal Posts: Thanks Anyway, Rutgers
Well, that was one of the better Cinderella stories in recent years. Unfortunately, it had to end sooner or later... and perhaps its less painful to be crushed by Cincinnati now than to be denied a shot at a national championship despite an undefeated season. Rutgers lost—nay, got hammered—in Cinc...
About Last Night...
• College Football: LSU 23, Ole Miss 20. Oh, to have heard what Ed Orgeron was saying when this picture was snapped. • NBA: Utah 120, Phoenix 117. Someone named Paul Millsap had 16 points, six of them in the overtime period, to go along with his 10 rebounds. • College Basketball: Nebraska 73, (25) C...

And somewhere, Maurice Clarett asks his cellmate to get off him for a second, so he can check out the final score and smile....

I swear I just saw Maurice Clarett putting down that new sod as part of a work release program. - VanillaThrilla6...
To Watch Tonight...
• College Football: Rutgers @ Cincinnati. Rutgers is now legit enough that even their games against Cincinnati are worthy of primetime. 7:45, ESPN. • College Football: California @ USC. 8:00, ABC. This is what I like, ABC. No regional coverage bullshit, we all watch one game, and we do it together. ...

• Taking issue with some of Bill Simmons' points about journalism and blogging. [Metsquire] • That "Michigan Bar" where you're watching the game today? Yeah, they don't really give a damn about Michigan. [Wall Street Journal] • The thrill of seeing Pedro Gomez close up. [Joe Sports Fan] • If the NBA...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 3
Inappropriate conversation of the moment (and words I may be eating later): Friend1: I'm not worried about this Bo thing. Troy Smith does not respect your dead elders! Friend 2: Troy Smith feasts on your tears! - Leebert1981...
Bo's Had Enough Time To Get Settled In By Now, So Let's Do This
That'll just about do it for the masturbation. It's time to get at it. Kickoff's in just a few minutes, and I honestly don't feel overwhelmed by the hype. The game is big enough that a week of ESPN-brand hype wasn't enough to kill it for me—and that doesn't happen often. Give Brent Musberger a few m...
Hugh Johnson Project, Update 2
He doesn't diddle Brady Quinn's sister, but Paul Poslunzy is earning my respect, he is much better than AJ Hawk. For the sake of comparison let's hope that he's all over Chad Henne's sister. - John L. Smith's back-hand slap...

Corso's Gameday Math: Rutgers loses to the 'Ville by 51 last year + Wins by 3 this year = 48 point turnaround. Oh that Corso sure is a master of mathematics... 51+3=48, Incredible. - Ian, Lexington, KY...
The Dead Dead Schembechlers
It was a phenomenal little ride while it lasted, but the Dead Schembechlers are no more. The punk band announced last night that their performance at the Hate Beat Michigan rally would be their last. They also elected to give all proceeds from their final show to a charity of the Schembechler family...
About Last Night...
• College Basketball: (5) Pitt 78, Northeastern 52. Pitt center Aaron Gray is 4 inches taller than anyone in the Northeastern starting lineup. That doesn't seem fair. • NHL: Lightning 3, Islanders 2. Losing and blaming the refs... now that's a little more Islander-like. • College Basketball: (19) Te...
