Carlos Gomez Completely Rounded The Bases Before Learning His Home Run Sailed Foul
Brewers centerfielder Carlos Gomez had reason to be excited here.

Nashville Matches Shea Weber Offer Sheet, Remains Viable NHL Franchise
When Philadelphia surprised everyone by giving Predator defenseman a 14-year, $110 million offer sheet, we were awed by Paul Holmgren's balls and savvy, and sad for Nashville fans, most of whom are actually quite devoted (there's just not enough to of them to, you know, make the team profitable.)

NBC's <em>Today</em> Hosts Michael Vick In-Studio, Confuses Him For Jerrod Johnson
NBC's Matt Lauer brought Eagles QB Michael Vick into the Today studio this morning for a conversation full of personal growth and life lessons and redemption. To call Lauer's questions softballs is an insult to softballs; his prompts were more like those weird-ass softballs they use in Chicago....
