"Oh man... what a tough loss last night.  We had a chance to win it - we really did - but we just didn't play the way we should've played. In the first quarter, we played well defensively, but after that, we couldn't really get off the field on the 3rd down.  There were just too many long drives on us.  Obviously, the game didn't unfold the way we planned it to, so this one's definitely a tough pill to swallow." - Chris Harris NFL from Bookmarklet

Awesome to see you on FF Chris. Carolina will now be my #2 team. - DJ Stevie Steve

Steven... Ha! Glad to hear it! - Chris Harris NFL

Don't mess with Elizabeth Lambert. - Bill Sodeman from Bookmarklet

Man. I just rewatched the ESPN video and the other girls clearly instigated it in every case where Lambert did something rough. Escalation is probably a bad idea though. - Daniel J. Pritchett

On his way home from winning the World Series, Yankees Manager Joe Girardi stopped to help a woman who had lost control of her car on the Cross County Parkway and crashed into a wall. - DJ Stevie Steve from Bookmarklet

"Some faculty members interviewed for this story said that while there has been no official mandate handed down by the school, it has been implicitly suggested that they cancel afternoon classes before Thursday night games in order to clear campus parking lots. While students may welcome an early start to the weekend, such a notion does not sit well with those who say it sends a message that athletics are more important than academics. "I'm highly annoyed by the misplaced emphasis on athletics at the university," Jan Helge Bohn, an associate professor of mechanical engineering at Virginia Tech, said in a telephone interview. "It infuriates me. The fact I have to move my car and go home and terminate work is outrageous in an academic community."" - chaz2b from Bookmarklet

"The commissioner of the N.F.L. faced heated criticism Wednesday before the House Judiciary Committee, with lawmakers, former players and even a former team executive accusing the league of neglect in its handling of active and retired players with brain injuries" - chaz2b from Bookmarklet

"She will testify before the House Judiciary Committee at its hearing on football brain injuries on Wednesday to, as she put it, “tell the truth about what’s going on while I still have the chance.” Culverhouse has blood cancer and renal failure and has been told she has six months to live. “I’ve got to see that someone stops this debacle before it gets any worse,” said Culverhouse, 62, the daughter of the former owner Hugh Culverhouse who held various executive positions from 1985 to 1994. “I watched our team do anything it could to get players back on the field. We have to make that right.”" - Bill Sodeman from Bookmarklet

"Do you see this sign? I fished this sign out of a garbage can outside FedEx Field. It was in the garbage can because there's a new policy that says no signs of any sort are permitted inside the stadium. Even signs sending best wishes to husbands in Afghanistan. When and why was this change made? I asked Monday morning, and as of Monday evening, a Redskins spokesman said he still wasn't sure. I just know that there was a policy listed on the team's Web site as recently as Oct. 4 that merely banned inappropriate and offensive signs, or something to that effect, and that as of now, that wording is gone." - Bill Sodeman from Bookmarklet

They said no signs, I'm ok with that. I get the sympathy for vets and their families, but they can always send him a card or call him or make a YouTube video or any number of things that don't involve coopting the stadium+network tv pipeline. - Daniel J. Pritchett

"Jay-Z loves to take hip-hop where it has never gone before — well, how about the World Series? Hov and Alicia Keys will be performing the Big Apple anthem "Empire State of Mind" on Wednesday at the new Yankee Stadium before game one's first pitch is thrown, Jay confirmed to MTV News on Monday (October 26)." - LANjackal from Bookmarklet

"On the day that the New York Post broke the news of Steve Phillips' dalliances and the bizarre behavior of his 22-year-old mistress, the influential Deadspin fired a wild shot at one of the world's most powerful sports brands. Deadspin editor A.J. Daulerio, feeling that an ESPN communications source had misled him about the truth of the Phillips story over a month ago (a claim that ESPN fiercely denies), took it upon himself to air alleged dirty laundry about ESPN employees. "It's probably about time to just unload the inbox of all the sordid rumors we've received over the years about various ESPN employees," he posted. "Chances are, at this point, there's some truth to them . . . So, Bristolites [ESPN is based in Bristol, Conn.], strap in — it's going to be a long day."" - Bill Sodeman from Bookmarklet

I prefer the Sunday Night games on NBC, great HD and play by play team. Hate the in studio team. - Jason Benway

""I think the relentless negative coverage in The Washington Post is a real difference from previous years," Redskins general counsel David Donovan said, in a quote I'm likely to recycle 7,000 times in the next week or so. "But in terms of the way our actual fans are behaving, we don't see any difference."" - Amani from Bookmarklet

free speech doesn't apply much in a private venue. If these guys were inside a 7-11 telling people that they shouldn't the hot-dogs from 7-11 the owners of the 7-11 could have them removed and nobody would bat an eye. The same should hold true here; a football stadium is a private place of business (though it is often funded by government bonds which makes it a little more of a gray issue) and the business owner can remove "customers" (so long as they don't base their judgement on race/gender/etc). - Bill Rawlinson

"ABC college football analyst Bob Griese apologized Saturday a comment he made about NASCAR driver Juan Pablo Montoya during the network's broadcast of Ohio State's 38-7 victory over Minnesota." - .LAG liked that from Bookmarklet

some things are better left unsaid, especially when you have a megaphone that reaches millions, as an ABC college football broadcast certainly does. I may have over-reached saying that "hate" is leaking out, but there is certainly ignorance there, and I'm thinking that if you're going to make a statement that dumb, it's sliding perilously towards bigotry, which is heading down a hateful... more... - .LAG liked that
