There have a been a ton of head-scratching injuries in baseball this season. Whether you’re getting dressed, celebrating something or just taking a stroll around the park, no one is safe. I’ve compiled all the dumb injuries I could remember after the jump and I’ve even included my own stupid baseball injury because, let’s be honest, we’ve all done something stupid to hurt ourselves.

The UFC returns to Versus on Sunday and they’re bringing back Jon Jones. I’m still convinced that this is all part of the merging of the UFC and WEC, but let’s not focus on that. This should be an opportunity for a couple guys on impressive runs to make their final case to jump to the front of the line in their respective divisions. Read the rest of this entry »

Almost every week Stephen Douglas and Tim Ryan will take you on a journey through links and pictures related to the previous days. Sometimes, we’re too hungover or too-on-vacation to compile a post such as this. In that case you’ll go without it and be forced to use the previous page option to remember the big stories.

Auburn won’t be Bo Jackson-1983-good, but due to a weak schedule (other than losing at Alabama, the road opponents are soft), a super-recruit at running back, an offensive line that returns four starters and a defense that brings back eight starters, we like the Tigers to easily top their 8-win projection by Las Vegas. It helps that everyone’s focusing on their in-state rival (defending champ Alabama), and the new-look Florida Gators.

Sean Salisbury, a guy who likes to bully people, once nearly got jacked up by Albert Haynesworth. It’s a longggg story, but here’s the jist: “And then he started loud-talking me, standing up over me. And you’ve got a girl with you, and there’s a couple other people sitting there, about eight of my buddies. I said, ‘uh, helllll no,’ ok? I mean, while he’s bigger than me, I’m not exactly a small quarterback, I mean, 6-5, 250. You know, he may kill me, but I’ll tell you what, he’s gonna be bruised in the process. I’m gonna at least get a couple shots in. I can kick you in the balls as best as anybody.” [DC Sports Bog]
