What to watch as you prepare a cloned meat sandwich ... • College basketball: Duke at Florida State (7 p.m., ET); North Carolina at Georgia Tech (9 p.m., ET) [ESPN]; Texas A&M at Texas Tech (9:30 p.m.) [ESPN2].

SportsCenter Anchors Now Just Shopping At The Catchphrase Store
Seriously, the ESPN Catchphrase, we hesitate to say, used to mean something. (And by that, we mean that it strategically meant nothing.) But now, they're just throwing shit out there; it wouldn't surprise us to learn the Romney campaign paid for it....
Never Leave For The Draft Too Early
All this talk of players leaving early for the NFL Draft got us, and The Angry T, thinking: Who made the dumbest decisions to apply early for professional drafts?...
Boom! Goes The Stadium
Home Run Derby has a compendium of outstanding stadium destructions. The Busch Stadium one is the least dramatic one, but it still makes us a little weepy, in manly, virile ways....
Patriots' Fans Have Delicate Sensibilities
Patriots fans were shocked and indignant when Anna Grant, 14, was booed for wearing a Patriots jersey at the AFC playoff game in Indianapolis on Sunday. Folks at the RCA Dome let her have it during the introduction of the Punt, Pass and Kick winners, where, it appears, even the Colts' mascot got int...
Be Ready To See Mike Nifong Working At Your Local Jamba Juice
So here's a guy to feel sorry for: Former Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong. He's had such a rough time of it, hasn't he? You hate to see bad things happen to that guy....
Discussing "Meat Market"
We love books. Books are fun. They're so full of booky goodness. And because we don't have time to read and write about every sports book, we've corralled three regular Deadspinners to continue the Deadspin Book Club, discussions of current sports books. (Previously, they did Running The Table.) You...

Who Needs Shoes To Coach A Basketball Game?
One of our favorite Chuck Klosterman ESPN columns asked a question we'd been wondering about ourselves: What happened to all the barefoot kickers? What an odd little trend that was; we kind of miss it. Apparently, we have only barefoot college basketball coaches as a replacement....

ESPN combed its message boards this morning to find its wittiest, boldest, most enlightening comment, and chose this one above all others ......
Donte Stallworth's Alien Friend Nicco
Donte Stallworth can comfortably be considered the "other" wide receiver on the Patriots. He doesn't have the blow-up-a-game talent of Randy Moss, and he doesn't have the electric, sensuous charisma of the sex bomb that is Wes Welker. It takes a bit for the man to stand out. It takes something drama...

So Did Someone Slap A Restraining Order On Randy Moss, Or Not? (UPDATE: Yep!)
One of the fun parts of the Internets is that once you have introduced something to the series of tubes, called "posting," it never really goes away even if you try to delete it. (Which is why this still exists.) So WDBO Radio in Florida's "scoop" this morning, which they then deleted from their sit...
