Bo's Had Enough Time To Get Settled In By Now, So Let's Do This
That'll just about do it for the masturbation. It's time to get at it. Kickoff's in just a few minutes, and I honestly don't feel overwhelmed by the hype. The game is big enough that a week of ESPN-brand hype wasn't enough to kill it for me—and that doesn't happen often. Give Brent Musberger a few m...
Today In The Premiership...
• Sheffield United 1-2 Manchester United. Wayne Rooney put Manchester United on his back today and earned them a crucial 2-1 victory over Sheffield United. Sheffield led after a goal in the 13th minute, but a couple of clean Rooney strikes gave the Reds the win. I don't think Rooney's performance ...

NBA Roundup: Vacation Time For Shaq
• Shaquille O'Neal is going to need surgery to repair some torn cartilage in his knee, and he'll be missing 4-6 weeks. That surely comes as devastating news to the three or four of you out there who thought Shaq would be playing a full 82 games this year. I suppose it's important to note now, but ...
The Dead Dead Schembechlers
It was a phenomenal little ride while it lasted, but the Dead Schembechlers are no more. The punk band announced last night that their performance at the Hate Beat Michigan rally would be their last.

About Last Night...
• College Basketball: (5) Pitt 78, Northeastern 52. Pitt center Aaron Gray is 4 inches taller than anyone in the Northeastern starting lineup. That doesn't seem fair. • NHL: Lightning 3, Islanders 2. Losing and blaming the refs... now that's a little more Islander-like. • College Basketball: (19) Te...

Dwight Howard, Enjoying His Youthful Years
You know how we know that the Orlando Magic's Dwight Howard is just starting to break the ceiling of NBA stardom? He's hanging out with porn stars.
