From the Big Lead: We're hearing that for months now, ESPN has been trying to secure a host for a late-night TV show it has in the works.

All I can say is, now this is a nice looking stadium. Keystone Sports and Entertainment LLC, the ownership group for the Major League Soccer Philadelphia expansion team, received the initial stadium designs from Rossetti Architects.

First (from The Writer's Almanac), a wonderful poem by Marge Piercy to start your day with something introspective - before diving into the usual sports-centric deluge!

Did I call it or what? I actually predicted that Bruce Arena would be the next coach for the Los Angeles Galaxy in an article earlier this week. As you can see from this article from Sports Illustrated it seems like that is actually the case. As I said earlier in the week, I think Bruce is the right choice for this team, but he has to be given a chance. Click to continue reading...

Don't you just hate it when you're broadcasting a game and the play-by-play announcer just keeps talking, and talking, and talking? I mean, I played in the Olympics, I won a gold medal, I won a World Cup, I was on the cover of Sports Illustrated, I'm kind of a big deal. I know what I'm talking about, so let me talk.
