12:00, NBC: Golf. U.S. Open, Final Round. I have a feeling that NBC's coverage will be focusing a little bit on Phil Mickelson. 1:00, Fox: NASCAR. Nextel Cup: 3M Performance 400. Wind and clouds are in the forecast today at Michigan. I'm not sure how that's significant, but I think it is. 2:00, ESPN...

12:30, NBC: Golf. U.S. Open. I've disliked him his entire career, but at this point, Colin Montgomerie has offically become a sympathetic figure. Go Monty Go. 1:00, FOX: MLB. Yankees @ Nationals. You know, "Yankees vs. Nationals" really sounds like an old school baseball rivalry. East coast only, ...

1:00, CBS: Formula One Racing. British Grand Prix. A high-speed race, contested entirely on the left-hand side of the road. 1:00, Disney: Movie: Air Bud, Golden Receiver. Catch some vintage Air Bud action, before he started accusing his quarterbacks of being gay and getting tired during the Super ...

1:00, ESPNU: College Baseball. College of Charleston vs. Georgia Tech. I'm not sure that this game can live up to the storied football rivalry between these two schools. 1:00, FOX: MLB. Oakland A's @ New York Yankees. Giambi's dealers back in Oakland... who do they root for? They must be torn. 2:0...
Rick Reilly And His Rimshot
Honestly, we have nothing against Sports Illustrated superstar Rick Reilly. Sure, he mails it in seemingly twice a month, his sudden conversation to an anti-steroid advocate seems to only go for people not named Bill Romanowski and we have no idea what that "Riffs Of Reilly" thing is supposed to b...

12:00, NBC: Tennis. French Open, Third Round. Kick back with a croissant and enjoy the tape-delay action. 1:00, TBS: MLB. Arizona Diamondbacks @ Atlanta Braves.

1:00, ESPN2: LPGA Golf. Shoprite Classic, Second Round. Annika Sorenstam's in the lead. That's right. Annika Sorenstam. 1:00, MTV2: Cribs Block Party. Most Valuable Players: Boarders, Ballers & Shot-Callers. It sounds like there may be an athlete involved here. I'm not sure. Does "boarder" mean "r...

12:00, ESPN2: Tennis. French Open, Early Rounds, Day 1. If it's not Federer/Nadal, I'm watching the women. Unless, you know, there's something else on. 12:30, NBC: Senior Golf. PGA Championship, Final Round. You know, if you really love watching old white men play golf, you could just head out to ...

12:30, CBS: Senior Golf. PGA Championship, Third Round. Names in contention include: Peter Jacobsen, Jay Haas, Tom Watson, Curtis Strange. Keep that in mind for a second. 1:00, Fox: MLB.

1:00, NBC. Poker: National Heads-Up Championship. The semifinals: Shawn Sheikhan vs. Ted Forrest and Chris Ferguson vs. Huck Seed. 1:00, CBS. Auto Racing: American Le Mans @ Mid-Ohio.

1:00, NFL Network. NFL Europe. Colonge Centurions @ Rhein Fire. If you're really, really curious about what Kliff Kingsbury is up to. 1:00, Fox. MLB: New York Yankees @ New York Mets. I believe this one's for the east coasters only. 2:00, ESPN2. LPGA Golf: Sybase Classic, Third Round. I'm a huge G...

2:00, ESPN2: LPGA Golf. Michelob Ultra Open at Kingsmill, Third Round. Should be a fun weekend for those who really hate Annika Sorenstam. She didn't make the cut. 2:00, Fox Soccer Channel: French Soccer. Lille vs. Rennes. Alright, who wins in a huge battle royale: LPGA golfers, or French soccer p...
The Ballad Of The Bored SI Staffer
We know it goes. You've worked a late night, and your editor — who told this job had all kinds of writing possibilities, that it was Sports Illustrated, before you realized the job was just writing taglines and editing Jenn Sterger's copy — is on your case to do one last photo gallery. You're bleary...
So Much For That Fresh Start!
We're actually pretty big fans of Sports Ilustrated's Tom Verducci — who never gets enough credit (or blame, depending on your perspective) for being out front of this whole steroid story from the get-go — but we feel maybe he's gotten a bit too caught up in it all. He's become such an anti-steroi...
One Shining Moment... Of Pooh Sticking
In case you missed it on SportsCenter, today continues the 23rd annual World Pooh-Sticks Championship Race in Oxfordshire, England. The Japanese have returned to defend their title against... a lot of people with nothing better to do....
Bill Simmons Will Not Be Silenced
On the heels of a big Sports Illustrated story on him, good ole Bill Simmons "broke the ESPN.com" record with a two-hour chat yesterday. The chat — which somewhat inexplicably included two Deadspin references — covered various topics and, as was remarked upon by several chatters, seemed to be allo...
Jay Mohr Tackles Stories Others Are Afraid To Touch
We know the weekly feature in which we rip various sportswriters is on hiatus, but we can't let the earth complete one more revolution on its axis without commenting on our friend Jay Mohr, online journalism's answer to Paris Hilton. Call it Why Your Internet Columnist Sucks, and bear with us, ple...
Tracking The Barry Bonds "Revelations"
We know we've touched on this already, but after several conversations about it this weekend, we're still fired up about it, so we're bringing it up again....
A Movie On ESPN That Might Not Suck
I'm looking forward to "Through The Fire," ESPN's documentary about the life of Sebastian Telfair during his senior year of high school. It won Best Documentary Feature at the 2005 Urbanworld Film Festival, the Audience Award for Best Documentary at 2005 AFI Fest, and was a Spotlight Selection at ...
