In The End, Joey Harrington's Distant Cousin Triumphs
All weekend the world was talking about Greg Norman's resurgence, briefly forgetting what he normally does on Sunday. (Fortunately, he reminded us almost immediately.)

Chinese Bar Owners Sign Pledge Not to Serve Blacks, Mongolians?
The report originated in Hong Kong's South China Morning Post and is, evidently, not a joke. I'm not an expert on the SCMP but it's evidently a reputable newspaper in Hong Kong.

Morning Blogdome: Some Kids Just Get Star Struck
• Maybe she's the type that runs away from Santa?: At yesterday's White House tee-ball extravaganza, one young player was too spooked to shake the hand of President George W. Bush.

I Hereby Demand That This Be Added To The Olympics

Sadly, there are no Village People moments like Brady Quinn had at his sister's wedding to A.J. Hawk, but if you do scroll through the lovely photo album, there are plenty of Manning-like moments that will clearly be cherished always.

Those foolish enough to miss the season premiere of "Project Runway" — and those not "connected" enough for ESPY tickets — might have stumbled across the newest episode of "Costas Now" last night.

Noticeably absent during the whole Brett Favre telenovela has been Fox Sports' NFL dirt dog, Jay Glazer.
