Big congratulations to Mark Cuban: He survived another week on "Dancing With The Stars!"...

TNT Is Thinking Ahead
In about two-and-a-half hours, the 2007 Major League Baseball postseason will begin. As you know, all games will be on TBS, which is why we have strange start times like 3 p.m. ET and 6:30 p.m. ET. We thought this would be a problem. But TBS is off to a good start....

We Have To Ask
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • Noon. NBA with David Thorpe: But the real question becomes; who will now sex Mutombo? • 2 p.m. NFL blogger Matt Mosley: Are you a real blogger if you know Berman's cell phone number? • 3 p.m. College football with Beano Cook: Yes, it's...

Florida Fan Motto: Dignity, Always Dignity
You've probably seen this by now, but it can't pass without comment. This was not, in fact, Dan Shanoff. Good guess, though....

Playoff Pants Party: Indians Vs. Yankees

Where My Team Stands: Philadelphia Phillies
If we've learned anything about Octobers the last few years, it's that the month tests, stretches and hones every aspect of loyalty fandom....

To Watch Tonight
What to watch after tucking in your pumpkin ... • College football: Marshall at Memphis. Yes, sad, but let's not overdo it, ESPN. [ESPN2] • Soccer: UEFA Champions League, Barcelona at VFB Stuttgart (same-day tape). Hopefully no one at work today will blurt out the score. [ESPN Classic] • Extreme Cag...


Playoff Pants Party: Diamondbacks Vs. Cubs
We will confess, being who we are, we find ourselves cheering against the Cubs in this series. This is not because we hate the Cubs; we do not. It is because Cardinals fans have become accustomed to the natural order of matters, and that natural order requires the Cubs to have not won the World Ser...

Leinart Has A Hard Time Handling His "Booze"
We were curious how Matt Leinart would handle his late-night Sauvignon Blanc confession to Michael Silver that he doesn't like being switched in and out of his starting job in Arizona. He took a different tack than we might have....

Tonight, we will find out if Mark Cuban's blistering turn on the "carpet" of "Dancing With The Stars" last night will allow him to gallivant another week. Our fingers are crossed....
