This has to be a social experiment, right? Somewhere, Erin Andrews, clad in her Tampa Rays “Longoria” jersey, is jumping for joy.
The longer we look at these two jarring photos of Fox’s Charissa Thompson, the less we’re certain the one on the left (from this weekend, apparently) is actually her. It’s gotta be for an episode of Ellen or The View, right? Read the rest of this entry »
There is one cultural demographic that’s faring well in these troubled economic times, fans of the J E T S Jets! Jets! Jets!
The first day of auctioning for personal seat licenses at the new stadium earned a top bid of $65,100 for two front row seats in the exclusive Coaches Club. Not for the tickets themselves, mind you, but for the exclusive right to buy the tickets for $700 a piece per game. However, you do get free parking, which adds up. Read the rest of this entry »
Blogs are so 2004: "The blogosphere, once a freshwater oasis of folksy self-expression and clever thought, has been flooded by a tsunami of paid bilge. Cut-rate journalists and underground marketing campaigns now drown out the authentic voices of amateur wordsmiths. It's almost impossible to get noticed, except by hecklers. And why bother? The time it takes to craft sharp, witty blog prose is better spent expressing yourself on Flickr, Facebook, or Twitter." Flickr, that bastion of self-expression. Who knew? Please drop your Twitter address (or handle, whatever they call it) in the comments so we can follow it! (Wired) (7)
If you can fake out the players, the refs, and ESPN, you’ve done well. (Eagle in Atlanta)
Timely, huh? Their best player, Deron Williams just turned an ankle and is lost for two weeks. An ominous beginning for what will be a pivotal season for a very good team. Utah’s definitely championship material. The Jazz proved that against the Lakers in the Western semis last year, winning two games; it might have gone the distance if anyone had reminded the Utah defense to show up.

STATS!: There's no doubt Tennessee has a very, very good defense. No question the running game is getting stronger. But something to consider: The Titans have gotten fat on a pretty weak schedule. Here is where each opponent ranks in the NFL in yards per game: Jax (22), Cincinnati (32), Houston (5), Minnesota (12), Baltimore (26), KC (29). The last three QBs the Titans have beaten are a backup (Frerotte), a rookie (Flacco) and a cadre of scrubs (Chiefs). And none of their opponents have a record above .500 We are not making light of the 6-0 mark, but we'd like to temper enthusiam about just how good this team is heading into the Colts game. (19)

Baseball: "This is the 2008 version of the White Sox-Astros, Tigers-Cardinals and Marlins-Indians. In other words, gentlemen, start your Xanax ... The biggest problem is the lack of a villain. Boston would have filled that role perfectly as the Patriots did in the Super Bowl last year. But what can you hate about either of these teams? Not even the traditionally obnoxious and proudly psychotic Philly fans can generate enough anger to make this series matter. They're a clichéd villain, too easy to despise." (CBS Sports) (43)
In five words or less! Except for the weekly Chad Johnson update, of course.
2. Tennessee (2). Come back around 4:15.
2. New York Giants (2). Will lose to Pittsburgh.
2. Washington (2). Will Portis get 2,000 yards?
2. Pittsburgh (2). Still no Willie Parker.
2. Buffalo Bills (5). Pass the kool-aid?
6. Jacksonville (6). Three cupcakes, then Titans.
7. Arizona (8). Will win in Carolina.
8. San Diego (7). LT 14th in rushing.
9. Tampa Bay (10). Everything screams average.
10. Dallas (9). Fading. Fast. Read the rest of this entry »
ESPN’s Chris Mortensen confirmed reported that the NFL will suspend Jaguars' wide receiver Matt Jones for three games because he violated the league’s substance abuse policy. Jones plans to appeal. But, of course, Matt Jones shouldn’t be a huge story. It’s not like he did anything insane, such as getting in a fight with his bodyguard. Let's see ... the arrest happened in July. The football ramifications come now. So, we should expect the definitive, vetted E60 piece around December? (11)
