Media Watch:High Tech Texans Cheerleaders Meant to Distract You: Not just cheerleader pictures. But a way to click on buttons to watch them dance or see a 360 degree view of each of them. You can find these new features in the cheerleader bios. For example, here's the link to the page for the Texans twins, Larisa and Marisa. It doesn't do anything for me personally, and in some ways the 360 degree view is kinda creepy,
Insane Guy Does Not Care for NBC Incorporating Spanish Into NFL Broadcast: I have absolutely no idea who that guy is, but his YouTube profile lists him as a comedian. I hope that means the above was meant to be funny. If it was meant to be serious, I'm frightened.
NFL:
Vince Wilfork Expects Fine for J.P. Losman Hit: I'm sure he'll be fined, too, and I think it should be a substantial fine -- not the $7,500 that DeVard Darling got for a Lambeau Leap, especially considering that Wilfork makes a lot more money than Darling. How about $50,000? That was a cheap shot from Wilfork.
Roger Goodell Is All for Regressive Taxes: Now I understand rules is rules and all that crap, but $7,500? Really? When the league is fining guys five grand for throwing players on their head or grabbing facemasks, 7,500 clams is the going rate for ... leaping in the stands? Jeebus, that's not arbitrary.
MLB:From The Same People Who Brought You Kei Igawa's Cy Young Plaque: For $24.99 you can pick up the official t-shirt of the 2007 American League East Division Champion New York Yankees. You can put it in the drawer right next to that Barbaro Triple Crown hoodie.
Prince Fielder Has 50 Home Runs but Still No Love for His Dad: Fielder said he had no intention of keeping the 50th home run ball, but was hoping for No. 52. "My dad had 51 (as a season high)," Fielder said. "Then, he can't say anything."
Milton Bradley Doesn't Feel Vindicated, Vows to Return by Spring Training: Bradley completely dismissed that idea. Considering he's still laid up with a bum knee no matter what punishment Winters receives, I guess that's understandable.
The Debriefing: You Know What? I Think We CAN Handle the Truth: All professional sports leagues are very, very concerned when someone interferes with the integrity of the competition. Or at least it's important to the professional sports leagues that you think they're very very concerned with protecting the integrity of the game.
The Dugout: Mr. Ecko Delivers the Bonds Baseball Verdict: Mr. Ecko strikes me as a pretty lame dude, but I actually am happy he did this. I can't hear the guy's name without thinking of Mr. Eko from television's "Lost." I couldn't help but think of similarities between the two, and the result is today's Dugout, after the jump.
NCAA Football:
SEC Hot Seat Check: Back in August, Fanhouse tabbed three SEC coaches in danger of losing their jobs during or after this season. So, it's time to check those coaches' status thus far. I see three levels of heat on the seat of these guys.
