NFL Roundup: Take Solace In Akers
Observations and tidbits from a day of football ...>...

About Last Night ...
What you missed while cornholing ... • NFL: Eagles roll past Giants as ... wait a minute, hold everything ... Manning's going nuts! • MLB: It's Frank's world, we just live in it ... A's 5, White Sox 4. • Motor Sports: Use the slingshot, Ricky! Harvick wins in New Hampshire to take Nextel points lead...

NFL Week 2: Update #4
Denver 9, Kansas City 6. This wasn't football, this was a crime against football. I shouldn't even mention it here. Three hours of straight boredom. And since I don't want to talk about it, let me just mention this: I have three QBs on my fantasy roster: Chad Pennington, Rex Grossman, and Jake Plumm...

To Watch Tonight...
• MLB. Boston Red Sox @ New York Yankees. I heard that the standings don't matter when these two teams play. 8:00, ESPN. • Movie. Major League. Forget about the curve ball, Ricky. Give 'em the heater. 8:00, ESPN Classic. • NFL. Washington Redskins @ Dallas Cowboys. I just wish NBC would find a way t...

NFL Week 2: Update #3
Tennessee 0, San Diego 17. And it's not really as close as the score would indicate. Kerry Collins and Vince Young have booth seen time at quarterback, and honestly, the Titans might be better off just playing without a quarterback. Lure Eric Crouch out of retirement, and run the option....

• NBA.com is taking their sweet time in getting their 'Gay' jerseys available. Rudy will be taking the court this year in a jersey that reads "Alternative Lifestyle" on the back. [High and Inside] • I know that you think you want to know all about ESPN broadcaster Chris Fowler's engagement and his w...

NFL Week 2: Update #2
Detroit 7, Chicago 34. And welcome back to the Detroit Lions. All that Week One optimism looks a little misguided at this point. Not that they're destined to be as bad as the Raiders or anything, but they're still 0-2 and just got their asses beat by Rex Grossman (20-of-27 for 289 yards and 4 TDs)....

NFL Week 2: Update #1
Cleveland 3, Cincinnati 14. Chad Johnson caught a touchdown pass for the Bengals, and followed it up with... the chicken dance. The era of awesome touchdown celebrations may be officially over. When we're doing dances that are designed for white people to do at weddings, I think we're in trouble. I ...

NFL Week 2: Things You'll Want To See
Oakland @ Baltimore. This game should answer some questions on exactly how bad Oakland could be. I really believe that they've got the potential to be one of the all-time legendary disasters in sports history. A key to this, though, is keeping Aaron Brooks healthy. They can't reach the depths they'r...

Taking Down The Field Goal Posts: Irish Schadenfreude
• (11) Michigan 47, (2) Notre Dame 21. I don't think there's anything that the college football watching public enjoys more than seeing Notre Dame get beaten - nay, romped - in a big game. I didn't get to publish even a small fraction of the overjoyed comments that came as a result of Michigan's 4...

About Last Night...
• College Football: Texas A&M 28, Army 24. I think they should put Bobby Ross in charge of the entire U.S. military. • MLB: Padres 11, Dodgers 2. And the Pads climb to within a half game of the Dodgers. With a game in hand, too. • NASCAR: Johnny Benson wins Craftsman Truck race. Next week, he goes a...

Hugh Johnson Project, Update 4
Louisville just went up 24-7 on Miami, Michigan looks to be pretty firmly in control of things, and I'm just going to leave you to enjoy those things... if you're the type that likes to see big-name programs get humiliated. Enjoy the big games tonight, too....

To Watch Tonight...
• College Football: Clemson @ Florida State. 7:45, ESPN. To me, the Bowden vs. Bowden storyline never really gets old. • College Football: Florida @ Tennessee. 8:00, ESPN. I know that Steve Spurrier is elsewhere now, but it wouldn't kill him to keep talking trash on Tennessee. • College Football: Ne...

"I Get That Old Lovin' Feelin'... Every Time I See Jim Leyland"
Your pennant run is not legitimate until Jeff Daniels makes a YouTube music video about you. A musical masterpiece, it is not. A song that will get you fired up, it also is not. What it is, is... well... I don't know what the hell it is, but it probably made Jeff Daniels feel better about himself....

Hugh Johnson Project, Update 3
• That Brady Quinn is so good-looking that I'll bet even Pam Ward thinks he's hot. - drocksportsguy...

• Not actually watching any college football at the moment, as I just woke up, but the Pam Ward's short WikiPedia page entry reads "Pam Ward is probably a lesbian." - DriveInHard...
