About Last Night ...
What you missed while realizing that a bikini is no longer standard Monday wear ... • Golf: Tiger wins again. The rest of you are worthless and weak! Now drop and give me 20. • College football: Gary Cismesia, not just a rare skin disease anymore. FSU tops Miami 13-10. • MLB: Colors ... Manny's retu...
NFL Season Preview: Pittsburgh Steelers
(We're still taking the day off, but we thought we'd toss this out there for you, so you had something today. Plus, it's really good. See you tomorrow.)...
Waiting Patiently For Art Modell To Die
I know this is perverse, but I can't quite decide just how perverse. Actually, I probably know, but choose not to acknowledge it, because I also find it amusing....
To Watch Tonight...
• College Football. Kentucky @ Louisville. I think the winner should be awarded a lifesize, bronze, Rick Pitino. 8:00, ESPN. • MLB Baseball. Angels @ Tigers.

Roethlisberger's Appendix Does Not Survive NFL Roster Cuts
Ben Roethlisberger had an emergency appendectomy today, leaving him out for the Steelers opener this Thursday against the Dolphins. Funny, I thought his liver would be the first to go....
The Old 'Potato Into Left Field' Trick
I think this might be the coolest thing that's happened in baseball history. I'm snickering even as I type this. Dave Bresnahan was a backup catcher for the AA Williamsport Bills, and had a hunch that he was about to be cut. He also had an idea that he could get a baserunner out with the use of a pe...
LeftoverDome
• As pointed out by Koronkadonk in this comment, Cubs catcher Michael Barrett is BLEEDING INSIDE HIS SCROTUM. ARGHGHHHRHREGEH. [Fox Sports] • Boston reporters are hounding Bill Belichick about the Deion Branch holdout and whoever transcibes press conferences for Patriots.com sometimes lacks for accu...
Chargers LB Steve Foley Shot Multiple Times
From KUSI in San Diego, via the Chargers page at the NFL Fanhouse, comes the news that Chargers linebacker Steve Foley was shot multiple times by an off-duty police officer....
Sunday Night Football Will At Least Seem Dramatic
Ain't It Cool News has managed to get their hands on an .mp3 of the brand new theme song for Sunday Night Football. They opted against something Hank Williams-esque (or even Pink-esque) and went for the big guns: John Williams....
Jeff George Was Fun While He Lasted
It might be the most talented class of roster cutdowns in NFL history. Charlie Rogers, Najeh Davenport, Ron Dayne, Lee Suggs, Marcus Vick, and quite sadly, Jeff George, were all released yesterday as NFL teams had to get down to the 53-man roster limit....
Did Cooked Crack Every REALLY Go Away?
Here's South Carolina tailback Cory Boyd choosing a very expressive way to announce his return....
The End For Andre Agassi
As the match was being played and it became evident that Andre Agassi didn't have the legs or the back to take down Benjamin Becker, I couldn't help but think it shouldn't end this way. It should've ended in either a championship, or in front of am unsilencable primetime crowd in a 5-set marathon...
Taking Down The Goal Posts: Shhh, Lou Holtz
Notre Dame 14, Georgia Tech 10. It's never a pleasant experience when Notre Dame wins the marquee game of the week, but it was hard not to admire last night's effort. Georgia Tech played an excellent game, but the Irish defense held strong, Charlie Weis let his enormous testicles call the plays in k...

Your leader is the unfortunately-named Maria Hjorth. 1:30, ESPNU. Women's College Soccer. Santa Clara @ Notre Dame. I'm guessing that the Santa Clara team wi...
About Last Night...
• FIBA World Championships: Spain 70, Greece 47. Spain's not falling for your old "let's all hide inside a wooden horse" trick. • MLB: Reds 1, Padres 7. Nice to see Jake Peavy remember that he's Jake Peavy. Complete game, 2 hits, 14 Ks. • College Football: Notre Dame 14, Georgia Tech 10. I feel pret...

This one is the Mike Gottfried/Paul Maguire/Gary Thorne hatred edition. And we're wrapping this up for the day. Many many thanks. I think it's been a success....

Get ready for some hot Mormon action. 10:15, TBS. • College Football. Notre Dame @ Georgia Tech. Hopefully, Brady Quinn's sister can pull hers...
Hugh Johnson Project - Update 3
We've got one more of these coming... pretty please keep the IMs coming to "DeadspinFootball" on AOL Instant Messenger. You guys are amazing. In fact, I wish I had room for more of these......
Today In Soccer...
The Premiership is taking the day off, due to some Euro 2008 qualifying games, and some other international friendlies going down. But the big story right now is Carlos Tevez moving from Brazilian club Corinthians to Premiership team West Ham. A guy like Tevez, you'd think would prefer a bigger club...
Hugh Johnson Project - Update 2
Lee Corso's grandson appears to hate him. He had his grandson with him at the end when he did his picks. And he was trying to get him to say "hi" and wave (the kid is probably 6). And the kid looked miserable. Corso had to grab his arm and make it wave. - Josh...
