Live Blogs
I was promised by the highers-up that, if I did a live blog tonight, there would be no interference from the Gawker server hamster or the database lemur. (The lemur's name, by the way? Chachi.) So it's the Dodgers and the Phillies tonight at 8 p.m. on ESPN. Please reschedule your dinner party plans accordingly. —Sussman

Sunday Night Baseball: Padres-Phillies
Will Cole Hamels keep the Phillies in the NL East race? Will Cha Seung Baek prevent San Diego from being the worst team in baseball? Will you even be able to see this live blog? These queries and few others will be answered once you jump to the rhythm. (Jump jump to the rhythm.) More »

Pro Football Hall of Fame Game Live Blog
All right, football zealots. Finally, a televised NFL game (for lack of a better word). It's the Indianapolis Colts and the Washington Redskins. John Madden has been dipped in bronze gravy for this joyous occasion, and Al Michaels will be sitting on his knee. Before you follow along after the J-M-P, please turn in your signed and notarized waiver forms saying I will not be held responsible for you getting bored to death sometime in the third quarter.

ESPY Awards
Time To Deregulate The ESPY Awards
As self-fellating as the ESPY Awards has become lately, they do have entertainment value, and the concept of a sports awards show is a novel idea. Well, novel in the context of awards shows, not novel in the sense of "this beats a cure for cancer!" But why does it always have to be ESPN? More »
Meet two of Britain's best showjumpers. At least I'm assuming they're good, because they never encourage bad showjumpers to pose in a sexy photoshoot. [SPORTSbyBROOKS]

To Watch Tonight
What to watch while actually making plans on weekends from here on out...• 6:00 p.m. — MLB: Boston Red Sox at Los Angeles Angels. Tim Wakefield, it's up to you to prevent your team from getting swept. [whoosh, crack] Really? That's your plan? [ESPN]
• 7:30 p.m. — Movie: Ghostbusters. We came, we saw, we realized nothing else was on. [Spike]
• 9:00 p.m. — ESPY Awards. Who's gonna win? Don't tell me, I haven't left my apartment since Wednesday's taping on the off-chance I accidentally find out. LALALALA CAN'T HEAR YOU. [ESPN]

Socialism Has Solved Every Traffic Jam In The World
You there. Yes, you. Don't you love freedom, apple pie, and John Mellencamp-crooned commercials? Of course you do. But you also hate traffic. "Oh God, everyone else driving is such an idiot! If they watched where they were going, I wouldn't be running behind, so I better call my friends and tell them I'll be late." More »

Dive Only Into Pools Of Which You Know The Depth
If you were wondering where Daric Barton was when Oakland was playing the Yankees this weekend (who of us wasn't?), well he wasn't playing because he got hurt during the All-Star break. The rookie first basemen has a lot to learn about how to dive into swimming pools. More »
cat fight
I was ready to move on from this particular story thinking there was no footage of this argument, and eventually concluding it was a lame altercation to begin with. But as the FanIQ headline says, "It's Just as Awesome as We Thought." Crystal clear audio. A towel snap. And a predominantly male pit crew doing absolutely nothing to stop the escalation. God bless America.

British Open
In The End, Joey Harrington's Distant Cousin Triumphs
All weekend the world was talking about Greg Norman's resurgence, briefly forgetting what he normally does on Sunday. (Fortunately, he reminded us almost immediately.) Then for about 10 minutes the hot golfer was Britain's Ian Poulter. Even for a split second, Jim Furyk's finish of +10 might have been good enough for a playoff. Then we remembered Padraig Harrington was the guy who won The Open Championship last year, and when we didn't believe him, he just had to go and win the thing again. So I think at least every major English accent was the frontrunner this weekend. Consider it a victory over the Romance languages. More »

Mid-Ohio Endures IRL Cat Fight Epidemic
If the concept of Ohio depresses you, at least the cities of Cleveland, Cincinnati, Youngstown, and Toledo all lie on or near the state border, opening up hopes and promises of other states. But Mid-Ohio? That's a lot of driving to exit the state, and driving in rural Ohio is a good way to lose one's mind. Racing in Mid-Ohio can't be much more exciting, given that I'm sure state troopers patrol the speedway to make sure you don't go over 65. More »
British Open Update: Did I say Ian Poulter? I meant Padraig Harrington will probably win. The keys were, like, right next to each other.
