Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • Noon. BCS expert Brad Edwards: If Michigan does not end up No. 2, can you manually override the computer? ("Dave, I'm afraid. Just what do you think you're doing? ...") • 12:30 p.m. AFC East with Ken Moll: Drunken members of the '72 Do...
Goodnight, Sweet Knights
Before anyone becomes too caught up in the Who Will Ohio State Play In The BCS Title Game? talk, let's take a moment to lament the end of college football's best storyline, the Rutgers Scarlet Knights, who laid an egg against Cincinnati, losing 30-11 and ending any (probably fanciful anyway) dream...
Look, The Cubs Actually Spent Some Cash. A LOT Of It
Say what you will about the Chicago Cubs, but they aren't letting a little thing like an impending sale stand in the way of paying a ridiculous amount for a big name. In a move that should put those A-Rod rumors to the crematorium, the Cubs signed Alfonso Soriano to an eight-year, $136 million dea...

About Last Night ...
What you missed while trying not to make eye contact with that Eagles fan from your office ... • NFL: Schottenheimer is still screaming at Igor Olshansky, and Tomlinson kind of rules, doesn't he? Chargers 35, Broncos 27. • College basketball: It's not exactly Princeton-Georgetown 1989, but anyway, O...
Sunday Night Football: Chargers @ Broncos
You've got LaDainian Tomlinson trying to be the fastest to get to 100 TDs, you've got a struggling Jake Plummer trying to hold onto his starting job, you've got an important game between two AFC teams with legit Super Bowl hopes... but I don't think game previews get any more insightful or poignant ...
NFL Week Eleven, Update #4
• Dallas is taking knees now, and the talk of an Indy undefeated season can now be put to bed. Dallas wins 24-21, and I doubt that the Colts really mind that much. Not that they ever want to lose, but at least they won't have to deal with those questions the rest of the year. Peyton Manning had a pr...
To Watch Tonight...
• NBA: Chicago Bulls @ Los Angeles Lakers. I would take Scott Skiles to win a fight against any other NBA coach. 8:00, ESPN. • College Basketball: Mississippi @ UConn. Perhaps a bit of a step up in competition for UConn after yesterday's contest against Fairfield. 8:00, ESPNU. • NFL: San Diego Charg...
Tom Cruise Has His Hooks Into The Beckhams
Poor David Beckham. He had his heart set on attending the Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes wedding until the evil bastards that run Real Madrid told him to get his ass back to the team. He's dealing with a knee injury and thought he'd go enjoy the nuptials, but his coach wasn't going for it. He ordered him...

• Rex Grossman had a class that taught him how to nap. [Chicago Sun-Times] • Today, I mourn the death of Ferenc Puskas. Well, not really. But he did score a hell of a lot of goals. [I Dislike Your Favorite Team] • Here's a fun rumor: Steve Spurrier to Miami. [Complete Sports] • Living through the Br...
NFL Week Eleven, Update #3
• This is not a score that I saw coming. The 49ers have ripped open a 20-0 lead over the Seahawks, despite the return of Shaun Alexander. Alexander's carried 7 times for 9 yards, and Seneca Wallace has thrown two interceptions. Frank Gore's making a pretty solid case these past two weeks for best ru...
The New Jersey Nets Are Looking For GILFs
Usually with cheerleaders, the general rule of thumb is "the more jiggling, the better." With the group the New Jersey Nets are attempting to put together, though, the jiggling will be out of control and it will be 100% unwelcome....
NFL Week Eleven, Update #2
• The game, for some reason, is taking a painfully long time... but with no Donovan McNabb, I'm thinking a comeback is unlikely. Pac-Man Jones had an incredible punt return for a touchdown, showing why he's worth keeping around even if his assault on the Nashville legal system continues. As for McNa...
The NASCAR School Of Parenting
I'd have warned you about the profanity in there, but this video is too awesome for me to have dissuaded you in any way from watching it. I think my favorite part is when the child, around the 1:40 mark, is desperate for some fatherly affection; some sort of sign that indicates that there's a small ...
NFL Week Eleven, Update #1
• Alright, it's time for an NFL update that you'll probably never see because the damn site is broken. I think the actual blogging software is rejecting the notion that Mike Tyson is now fucking for money... the blogging software is sad, and it doesn't feel like working today. I understand....
Dodgers Release Crack Smuggling Minor Leaguer
Kengshill Scheider Pujols is a minor league pitcher with the Vero Beach Dodgers, and the man stuffed 118 bags of crack cocaine into his underwear. The unfortunate thing about it is that he didn't even wait for "Stuff Bags of Crack-Cocaine in Your Underwear" night at Vero Beach, and almost certainly ...
NFL Week 11 Preview: Emotional Returns
• Seeing Green. Center Casey Weigmann will have a familiar pair of hands nestled against his taint on Sunday as Trent Green returns to the Chiefs lineup. I personally felt like the job should've been Damon Huard's, as he's been playing so well. Now you've got an older quarterback coming off a major ...
Taking Down The Field Goal Posts: Thanks Anyway, Rutgers
Well, that was one of the better Cinderella stories in recent years. Unfortunately, it had to end sooner or later... and perhaps its less painful to be crushed by Cincinnati now than to be denied a shot at a national championship despite an undefeated season. Rutgers lost—nay, got hammered—in Cinc...
