Juan Uribe Is Sensitive About His Jeep
Taking a page from the Ugueth Urbina playbook, it appears White Sox shortstop Jose Uribe and his brother Elipido got themselves in a little bit of trouble this weekend. The kind of trouble that features people shooting each other....

A while back, we told you about our new commenting system, and how if you were not a registered commenter, you could submit a comment and if it met the standards set by The Commentist Manifesto, you'd be approved and your comments would start showing up....
Back To You In The Booth, Lamar
So it may not come as a surprise to anyone that more suspensions have come down following the steel cage match between the University of Miami and Florida International football teams on Saturday. A total of 31 players have been dinged — and must sit out their respective games this weekend — 18 from...
We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • Noon. NCAA MBB with Andy Katz: In high school, you were always the guy who had his homework done ahead of time and often passed out while running the mile in P.E. Am I close? • 2 p.m. Panthers G Alex Auld: We'll try to keep this simple...
Hirshey: Don't Blame It On The Meds
Let's not beat around the bush: ARSENAL WILL WIN THE PREMIERSHIP. That is not a statement I imagined I would be making as recently as a month ago, and one that has absolutely nothing to do with the fistful of painkillers I'm required to take every day since tearing the miniscus in my left knee att...

Playoff Blogdome: NLCS, Game 4, Mets At Cardinals
Canvassing the blogs after New York's 12-5 win over St. Louis in Game 4 of the NLCS:...
This Morning, It Seems Like Everyone Is Named Carlos
As usual when we watch a playoff baseball game involving our beloved Cardinals, we spent the first four innings of last night's Mets-Cardinals NLCS Game 4 pacing around the room, muttering to ourselves, randomly spitting out expletives and all together looking like anything but someone engaging in a...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while falling into a burnin' ring of fire ... • MLB: National League Championship Series ... Hello, I'm Carlos, and I'll be your waiter this evening. Tonight our special is battered Cardinal. Our series is tied 2-2, so enjoy. • NFL: Denver's defense reaches milestone, but then it was...
It Was Never Going To Be That Easy
If you'll forgive yet another reference ... that really escalated. We mean, that got out of hand fast....
NFL Week Six, Update #4
• NY Jets 20, Miami 10. There's really nothing left to be decided today, though I suppose Miami could pull off a comeback. But if they do, I probably couldn't even pretend to care. Chris Chambers just caught a touchdown pass to cut the lead to 10 in the fourth quarter, but I think it's asking a litt...
To Watch Tonight...
• NFL: Oakland Raiders @ Denver Broncos. Oakland Raiders? Well hello, ratings bonanza. 8:15, NBC. • MLS Soccer. Real Salt Lake @ Club Deportivo Chivas USA. I know you probably aren't a huge soccer fan, but I mean... it's the Raiders. 7:00, Fox Soccer. • College Football: Boise State @ New Mexico Sta...
NFL Week Six, Update #3
• Jets 3, Dolphins 0. The NFL should step in and stop this game at halftime. It is a black mark on the entire league, their image, and their commitment to provide their fans with a quality product. Joey Harrington is 7-of-13 for 0 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. Chad Pennington has a total of 56 yar...
NFL Week Six, Update #2
• New Orleans 27, Philadelphia 24. The Eagles came out in the second half and just bumrushed the Eagles, but the Saints got a John Carney field goal with :03 on the clock for the win. Say what you want about the Eagles, but... without them, this season would've been a lot less interesting....
Photons From The Sun Are What Makes This Whole Process Possible
That's Ohio State head football coach Jim Tressel explaining photosynthesis. Really. That's what it is. It is bizarre and surreal, but I can't deny that I learned something. You know what they say: the truly great teachers have a way of making you learn, even when it seems like you're just watching ...
Tigers Reach The Promised Land, Jeff Suppan Dominates Everything
We'll get to the Cardinals in a second, but first, here's Jalopnik's Ray Wert on the Tigers win against Oakland last night:...
NFL Week Six, Update #1
• St. Louis 21, Seattle 7. In St. Louis, it's been all about Torry Holt, and Marc Bulger, perhaps the least-physically-threatening non-kicker in the National Football League. Holt already has six catches for 83 yards and two touchdowns, and Bulger has over 200 yards, and 2 TDs....
Taking Down The Field Goal Posts: Miami Gets Back To Basics
Miami (FL) 35, Florida International 0. There aren't many things that would be able to knock that excellent Auburn/Florida game out of the top spot here, but... a bench-clearing brawl in which thirteen players are ejected is one of them. Eight FIU Golden Panthers and five Miami Hurricanes were sent ...
Week 6 NFL Preview: Attempts To Climb The Mountain
Philadelphia @ New Orleans. This game's sort of similar to the Seattle/St. Louis game, actually, except they aren't division rivals. But it's a young team that wasn't supposed to be this good, looking to jump and bite one of the established teams in the conference. They catch Philadelphia right af...
