THROWING KNIVES: LINK UP

by BD, Sports Show On Mute

South Florida may have stamped themselves the #1 team in the Big East last night. The only argument is Rutgers, who's plays absolutely no one so far. Making them a tough team to judge. Two of the four national league spots have been clinched. The Central belongs to the Cubbies and the D'backs are guaranteed a spot, whether it be in the NL West or the Wild Card. The Phillies have taken over the NL East and can clinch it with a win and another Mets loss. And the Red Sox clinched their first division title since 1995. As I said yesterday, I've got Cal in Eugene today despite the fact that they haven't won there in 40 years. I'm still firm on that thought, though it looks more and more like a long shot every minute. Today's femme fatale is Taryne Mowatt, just because. (To submit links for the weekends e-mail me here.)

5. What's wrong with a little fornication within the walls of a stall? A lot apparently, I respectfully disagree and so does a certain senator. Their goes that top-tier party school rep. (With Leather)

4. Another Mascot sideline battle. And this time the cops get involved. (Larry Brown Sports)
