Blogdome: Pretending There Are Things In The World Other Than Football
• On Wednesday, Louisville forward Chad Millard has part of his jaw crushed, three teeth knocked out, and needed dental surgery. And he's in the line-up today. I can't relate. [Pitt Panther Hoops]...
Steelers vs. Colts - 3rd Quarter
• Ah, it's the annual Punt, Pass, and Kick competition at halftime, but Dick Enberg is going to make me wait until the start of the 4th quarter to find out who won. DAMN you, Dick Enberg. I have $400 on David Giroux to win the 8-year-old division....
Steelers vs. Colts - 2nd Quarter
• Nick Harper update: The knee he injured was not the knee that the wife sliced up, which I guess is good news....
Steelers vs. Colts - 1st Quarter
• Nick Harper is indeed in the line-up, a direct condemnation of Danielle Harper's stabbing skills. So, if you were a trash-talking opposing defensive back, would you go there? I'd go there....
Tom, Interrupted
I was curious about how Patriots fans would react to the loss last night, since they have so infrequently experienced that thing called losing. Understandably, not many Pats blogs have been updated. But a few of the diehards who realize the therapeautic nature of blogging did manage get some thoug...

• NFL: Patriots 13, Broncos 27. Yesterday, Tom Brady's life was 4,000 times better than mine. This morning, only 3,872....
Mr. and Mrs. Harper
Starting Colts CB Nick Harper is listed as questionable for the Steelers game after his wife allegedly sank a knife in his knee. The Colts, with more of the deception that Joey Porter so loathes, initially tried to pawn it off as a "traffic accident." Hamilton County Sheriff Doug Carter begged to ...
To Watch Tonight...
• College Basketball: Pepperdine @ #7 Gonzaga. Because if it wasn't for college basketball, you'd never have the opportunity to say the words "Pepperdine" or "Gonzaga."...
Redskins vs. Seahawks - 4th Quarter
• Hey, a 52-yard gain by the Redskins. All on one play. They are serious about cracking that 200-yard barrier today....
Redskins vs. Seahawks - 3rd Quarter
• It's official... Shaun Alexander won't be returning. Perhaps I'm crazy, but this doesn't seem like that big of a negative for the Seahawks. The Redskins aren't going to let anyone run on them today, be it Shaun Alexander, Maurice Morris, or Curt Warner. Now, they've got to put the game in the ha...
Redskins vs. Seahawks - 2nd Quarter
• Damn... Seattle WR Darrell Jackson's return is also questionable. He took a knee in the back. Losing Darrell Jackson and Shaun Alexander in the first 15:00 of play is a nightmare scenario for the Seahawaks....
Redskins vs. Seahawks - 1st Quarter
• Twenty-seven straight days of rain in Seattle? That's just disgusting. The Seahawks better win, because between the rain and the presence of Tony Siragusa, half of the city's population is probably already on suicide watch....

• Alabama 68, Kentucky 64. Kentucky getting slapped around is becoming kind of a tradition here on Saturdays at Deadspin. Sorry, 'Cats fans. I didn't mean for it to be that way. Alabama, Kansas, Indiana... next Saturday, it's Georgia's turn....
Today In The Premiership...
• Arsenal 7-0 Middlesbrough. Holy Lord. 7-0? Did they let Arsenal use their hands? Man, there's real chance that Arsenal outscores the Chicago Bears this weekend. In fact, Thierry Henry might outscore the Bears himself, as he scored three of the seven....
Texas Hangs On Against Villanova
In maybe the biggest contrast of styles that's even possible between two teams in the Top 20, Texas held on to beat Villanova in an excellent game, 58-55. This one was much better for the Longhorns than the last time they played a top-5 team on CBS....
Some Car Race Just Keeps Killing People
In the ninth stage of the Dakar Rally, an Australian motorcyclist named Andy Caldecott died in a crash....
Anyone See Glory Road?
I considered going to check it out, but I was a little hesitant. Nothing against Jerry Bruckheimer, but I don't feel like giving up $8 to see him tackle any serious issues of culture, because I doubt it's going anywhere beyond the standard Hollywood "let's just make sure we all feel warm and fuzzy...
