Got started on this later in the day than usual, so I might not end up with 16 items or whatever crazy number I had yesterday, but here's what's worth checking out ...
• Our main man Youk (Sycamore High School, UC) scored the game-winning run in the game you hopefully stayed up for (even after it was 7-0 in the 7th) on an erroneous throw by Evan Longoria that was written about on MLB.com. Really, it'll get overlooked and forgotten about (not like Bill Buckner or Bartman or anything) because of the overall, tremendous come-from-behind effort by the Red Sox (and people could assume that after they came all that way to tie the game they were destined to win it anyway) but I'm glad MLB.com at least wrote a story focusing on that play because it really is kind of a big deal.
• LOTS of Bengals' preview stuff in yesterday's post, but I haven't seen a whole lot going on today really. Maybe check out Chick Ludwig's notebook, which leads off with an item about the Steelers replacing the Browns as the Bengals' archrival.
• Bengals made several moves today; Herana-Daze Jones going on the Reserve/Injured list stinks.
• For some reason Peter King says he's very tempted to pick Cincinnati against the Steelers, which I cannot, for the life of me, understand. If I were a betting man, 10 points wouldn't be enough, even at Paul Brown Stadium (which will actually be Heinz Field southwest or whatever they want to call it).
• The Buckeyes gave their athletic director a contract extension. I had no idea he made $600,000 (soon to be $648,000). What was coach Eric Taylor thinking on "Friday Night Lights" when he agreed to take on the duties of the athletic director with no additional compensation? Questionable judgment.
By the way, check out the LA Times' FNL blog for more.
And FNL's Minka Kelly (who's been linked romantically with Derek Jeter) is mentioned in my non-local link of the day, The Top 10 Girlfriend Upgrades of Pro Athletes.
