- Megan Fox is one extremely sexy women. That doesn't make it ok however, to buy her panties on eBay. Even if she wore them on the set of Transformers. The craziest thing is, they sold for under $100. I guess you haven't made it to the A-List just yet Megan. (Tuna Flix)

- The slutter has come to Boston. No, Anna Benson isn't dating one of the Red Sox. Jonathan Papelbon has "invented" a new pitch that is a hybrid of a cutter and a slider, hence the name. This of course means that Paps and Dice-K are going to have to stage a slutter vs. gyroball useless pitch contest. (Fanhouse)

- There are indeed worse things in baseball than taking steroids. In fact, there are nine of them. From beating up one handed fans to wife swapping, these guys make Barry look like a saint. (Cracked)

- In all seriousness, someone in the NCAA brain trust needs to tell student athletes to get off of Facebook for their own sake. Otherwise, bloggers are going to continue finding embarrassing things such as Michigan DT Marques Colston's classic self interview. (EDSBS)

- Pete Kendall teaches us that sometimes whining does work, as the pouty Jets guard finally convinced the Jets to trade him. So who got him? The Redskins of course, because Kendall is a formerly good player in his 30's whose skills are on the decline yet is looking for big money. Of course Dan Snyder couldn't resist. (Redskins Insider)
