We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 11 a.m. Fantasy Football Focus: Thanks for your advice on picking up Rex Grossman for this week. Um, when are you leaving the office today, and what kind of car are you driving? • 3 p.m. Poker expert Joe Navarro: Come on, is it so wron...
Fun With Extinct Clothing
We're sure this happens all the time, but it's still funny when Major League Baseball accidentally slips and posts it. Last night and up until early this morning, you could buy this sweatshirt from MLB.com, prominently featuring the upcoming World Series matchup between the Detroit Tigers and the ...
Four Moments In October
The thing about a Game 7 for your team, we're noticing this morning, is that you forget that you and the people you are with aren't the only people watching it. Every pitch is so intense, every second's pressure so heightened, you lose all perspective: It feels like it's only happening to you. And...

Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • Noon. NCAA FB with Todd McShay: I thought I had them all, but I guess I missed this Dr. Seuss title. • 2 p.m. MLS with Richard Mulrooney: To think that a soccer player from Creighton who played for the San Jose Clash could one day get ...
Meanwhile, In Detroit ...
This video, shot by a fan from the Comerica Field left-field bleachers just beyond where Maggio Ordonez hit his World Series-trip-clinching home run Saturday afternoon, is yet another example of why baseball is the greatest thing on earth. (At least until the Cardinals blow the next two, which is no...

Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 11 a.m. Fantasy Baseball Focus: David Ortiz just hasn't been producing for me lately. Thoughts? • 1 p.m. Boxer Juan Manuel Marquez: With your constant smack talk, you've left me no choice ... I declare a thumb war. • 2 p.m. Bowler Pete...
Jay Mariotti Might Be Somewhat Sensitive To Criticism
We have a lot of respect for the folks at Wikipedia. It's an immeasurably valuable resource that we use every single day. And we can't imagine it's easy dealing with what's certainly their biggest headache: People logging onto their site just to post random crap and mess with the entries. You know, ...
Notes From The "Underground"
We would like to take a moment to salute commenters Christ Sabo (who first posited the idea) and twoeightnine (for his brilliant, terrifying designs), along with the rest of you — we particularly liked this MDT post — for your mad, breathtaking work on the ESPN Radio "underground" email from yesterd...
"You Down With Brandon Inge?"
We've logged some pretty outstanding fan song remixes, including the rather epic "Sweet Shaun Alexander," which even made deceased members of Lynyrd Skynyrd roll over in their graves, and they're still drunk....
Whatever It Takes, Tiger Fans. Whatever It Takes
It's World Series week in Detroit, and you know what that means: Fans doing anything they can in a mad, desperate dash for tickets. (If the Cardinals somehow sneak in, you know we're whoring ourselves out. Though we're still not going anywhere near a press box.) Our first entry is an eBay auction of...

Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 10 a.m. The Morning Buzz: Oh yeah, Neil Rackers' got one of those. • Noon.

Also, We're Pretty Sure That's A Facemask Penalty
Welcome to Brawlgate, Day 4, as fallout continues from Saturday's melee between the Hurricanes and Golden Panthers. The Atlantic Coast and Sun Belt Conferences handed out 31 one-game suspensions late Sunday — 18 for Florida International, 13 for Miami — but, as they say, a new wind was about to blow...
The Tigers Are Making The World A Better Place
OK, now that we have the floor, we, like pretty much everybody not from the Bay Area, were ecstatic to see the Detroit Tigers clinch their first World Series trip since 1984 over the weekend, in pretty much the most exciting way possible: A walk-off shot at home. We love the above Getty Images photo...
Back To You In The Booth, Lamar
So it may not come as a surprise to anyone that more suspensions have come down following the steel cage match between the University of Miami and Florida International football teams on Saturday. A total of 31 players have been dinged — and must sit out their respective games this weekend — 18 from...
We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • Noon. NCAA MBB with Andy Katz: In high school, you were always the guy who had his homework done ahead of time and often passed out while running the mile in P.E. Am I close? • 2 p.m. Panthers G Alex Auld: We'll try to keep this simple...
Tigers Reach The Promised Land, Jeff Suppan Dominates Everything
We'll get to the Cardinals in a second, but first, here's Jalopnik's Ray Wert on the Tigers win against Oakland last night:...
Live From Detroit...
The following words are from Ray Wert, associate editor with our homeboys Jalopnik. He likes Detroit, cars, and the Tigers... maybe even some combination of Eminem, Kid Rock, and Aretha Franklin. He was fortunate enough to be at the Tigers/A's game yesterday this photo gallery....
One Series Almost Over, One Just Getting Started
For a while last night, it seemed like there was a pretty good chance that the Tigers/A's series would actually be over before the Mets/Cardinals game. The Cardinals posted a manly three-run ninth inning to finally win a 3-hour and 58-minute game that did not go into extra innings....

Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • Noon. NFC East with Chuck Knox Jr.: Is it true that when you played Frisbee with your dad, you walked it back and forth to each other instead of throwing it? • 1:30 p.m. Duke's Josh McRoberts: Just looking at your point totals against ...
Thank Heavens He Doesn't Play For Colombia
So yesterday was a key Euro 2008 soccer qualifier between Croatia and England, everyone all fired up, everything second counting ... and then goalie Paul Robinson made the mistake of his life....
