Obligatory Sports Babe
This is Ali Sonoma, who placed first in Manofest's list of the hottest Octagon Girls of all time. And this, despite her having actually dated Diego Sanchez. Oh... I just kind of ruined it, didn't I?
So... Was She Chanting At the TV?
A convicted felon entered the apartment of a 51-year-old Florida woman last weekend, and pointed a gun at her after hearing what he thought was a racial slur. The woman is a football fan, and had simply shouted out "Go Gators!" Then, according to the story (which I'm starting to have my doubts about), the woman and others in her apartment asked the man to leave... which he did.

Lacrosse in the States is a Funny Thing. . .
Apparently, the thinking goes, it's played by snooty prep school d-bags. And judging by Inside Lacrosse's 2008 All-Name Team, they might actually be on to something. Caldwell Rohrbach? Holts Scoven? For real?!?!?
More NFL Nudity... For Some Reason
The Coach is Killing Me brings us a brief note about a previous incident of televised NFL nudity, on the heels of the Visanthe Shanicoe incident last weekend. Seems that at some time during the early 90s, Jeff Bostic of the Redskins wandered back and forth through the shot as George Michael (of the Sports Machine, not of the public restroom) interviewed Brian Mitchell. Um... let's just be thankful nothing like this ever happened to Charles Haley. . .
He Bounces Right Up, So This Is OK... Right?
Wow. For a minute here it looks like 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis breaks Jets receiver Brad Smith's back. Smith's status is uncertain at the moment, so, let's hope this actually isn't serious, so that we can appreciate the hit for what it is: awesome.
