Sunday Night Football: Bears-Colts

It's the second to last game of the first week of the season, of which there will be only two more this decade. It all takes place in venerable Lucas Oil Stadium. How effective will the Bears passing game be? Will we find out what a bursa sac is? How would John Madden solve the dispute between Russia and Georgia? Looks like you picked the wrong week to stop jumping. More »

What to watch while dreaming of a world in which you wield the same powers as Andrew Siciliano...
• MLB: New York Mets vs. Philadelphia Phillies. Maybe if Philly wins again tonight AJ will take me out of this cage. [ESPN]

Still no word on the Brady injury. Kind of ironic that this is the first week in four years the Patriots haven't listed Brady on the injury report. A domino effect was started as other starters throughout the league starting dropping like flies. More »

The Baby Bull Dispatches of the Action Hero

Juan Diaz won last night's battle for reclamation with a controversial split-decision win over fellow one-loss fighter Michael Katsidis. If you ask the Katsidis camp (or just Michael's delusional manager) they'll contend that they won the fight, however the only real controversy was over what that first judge had been smoking all evening. The Baby Bull took the fight to the all-action Katsidis, dominating the Aussie for roughly nine of the fight's 12 rounds. While it won't go down as the Fight of the Year that many predicted, it was an outstanding combination of beautiful boxing and pure tenacity. More »
