The Falcons rolled up 380 yards on the
ground like they were the Raiders dominating the Chiefs.
Only difference, Air Force didn’t even complete a pass. Quarterback Shea Smith was 0-7 in passing attempts. He threw for 0 yards.

You may not know, if you’ve never seen
the Mariners take batting practice, is that Ichiro can
also be a home run machine. In BP, he’s been known to hit ten or twelve balls in a row into the right field seats, amazing fans and teammates alike. In the past, he’s turned down offers by MLB to participate in the home run derby, but this year, he said recently, he’d consider participating if he’s asked.

Matt Diaz is baseball’s best hitter that you
know nothing about. The Braves left fielder hit just
under .340 last year and now in his sixth season in “The Show” Diaz’s career average sits at a more than respectable .316. Last Wednesday, Diaz was good enough to spend a few minutes on the phone with Bugs & Cranks, fielding questions from our very own Braves scribe Charlie Hatton

FSN West has been working on a series
called “Hanging with Mr. Hunter”, which as you can
guess from the title, features Torii Hunter and focuses on his life outside of the ballpark. Part 2, which just came out as far as I can tell, is equally entertaining. Watch the video to see where a horse kicked him, see Torii’s wardrobe and his interactions with his personal chef and assistant.

No Laffey Matter Aaron Laffey’s debut on Monday
against the New York Yankees was impressive. You might
look at his line of 5.2 IP, 3 H,4 ER, 1 BB, 1 K and think otherwise, but he was the victim of some bad luck and lethargic defense.

Jill Painter of Inside UCLA has done some
fine work in Brian Dohn’s stead. She talked to
Ronnie Morgan, J’Mison’s brother, and he said Morgan is “planning for sure to attend UCLA next year.” Painter also reported that J’Mison was told that LSU would indeed grant the release:

Today's Classic TV Friday post is one of
my all time favorites. I'm sure you've all seen
it but it may have been awhile. Bugs Bunny takes over for the Teetotalers, a wimpy team full of old guys that are getting their asses handed to them by the Gashouse Gorillas. Hilarity ensues and Bugs takes the day.

It is being reported that Milwaukee Brewers right-hander
Yovani Gallardo tore his ACL in a collision with
Chicago Cubs left fielder Reed Johnson in Thursday’s game. It is still uncertain whether he will get surgery, but it’s likely that he will and will miss the rest of the season.

The first time I saw his ass at
the gym, I had to do a double take.
It couldn’t be him, could it? As another gym-goer told me recently, “I see Ozzie Canseco at the gym all the time.” Sorry, I corrected him, “that’s actually Jose.” Yes, Jose Canseco works out at the local gym in Encino (Sherman Oaks, technically).

If you haven’t heard by now, Troy Tulowitzki
has been diagnosed with a torn tendon in his
left quad, and will be sidelined until the All-Star break… perhaps longer. I’m betting the over on this one, folks. Torn tendon sounds like a season ender to me, and if the Rockies are smart, that’s how they’ll approach it.

That was clear during Buzz Bissinger's freak-out on
Costas Now (just now), attacking Will Leitch. The irony
is that Will came across as the thoughtful one, and Buzz Bissinger -- self-appointed savior of "old media" -- came across as the unhinged nut. Points to Big Daddy Drew (aka "Balls Deep") and AJ Daulerio for the name-checks. Any pub is good pub!

Twelve years is a long time, and it
definitely doesn't seem that long in regards to Salisbury.
There is no official word on who's decision this was, but the Star Tribune is reporting that ESPN decided not to renew his contract.

LaRussa maintains that both McGwire and Clemens deserve
a pass: “There’s a certain amount of credit that
should be given to a guy who’s worked hours and hours to get stronger and bigger,” he said. “Wait a minute, Tony. You still don’t believe McGwire used performance-enhancing drugs?” “Absolutely not.”

This unfortunate suggestion that baseball players and all
other pro athletes have to suck it up and
should give up their right to privacy in order to submit to regular blood tests for any sort of “public good” needs to die a very quick death. I’ve written about this before, but it keeps surfacing:

Out of all the many pleasures that come
along with sports blogging, I must say that none
are as rewarding as ripping on fans who have absolutely no sense of objectivity. Check out a screenshot from this North Carolina Scout.com thread. Please, spit or swallow any liquid in your mouth before viewing or don’t blame me if you ruin your monitor.

Dear Emmitt Smith, Congratulations on completing your first
season as an NFL commentator for ESPN. A lot
of people have been poking fun at your command of the English language. It certainly didn’t help that Jimmy Kimmel aired this highlight video on his show. I admire your restraint.
