49ers lineman Thomas Herrion dead at 23

310-pound offensive lineman Thomas Herrion of Fort Worth collapsed and died after the San Francisco 49ers' preseason game against the Denver Broncos last night. He was 23.

This morning's Sportscenter led the show with crap on Terrell Owens and some preseason NFL scores before they bothered to mention the young man's death.

Mike Tyson to star in porno with Jenna Jameson

I believe we officially know where rock bottom is. What do you think is more dangerous for Iron Mike, getting in the ring again or having sex with Jenna Jameson?

Holy cow. First big name guy goes down with Major League Baseball's new steroid policy.

Guess Skip Bayless was right. Damnit.

Longhorn fan survives 5 days in lava field

I'm not sure how smart he is for getting his ass lost, but at least he was on the ball and showed his Longhorn pride for the photo op.

As we got closer you could see the man flashing a mirror and waving a dark orange fabric, she said. As he was coming down the path, clearly he couldn't move that well.

Baseball and softball out of Olympics

They axed baseball and softball from the 2012 Olympics, but are trying to add squash and roller sports. The IOC makes the NCAA look well-run.

TexasSports.com using SlideShowPro

Was looking for photos of last night's Texas game and saw that TexasSports.com is using SlideShowPro for their galleries now. I wonder when that happened. They have a separate slideshow set up for each sport, and then each slideshow contains multiple galleries.

Pretty cool implementation.

College World Series bracket

The official bracket for the CWS is up and ready. If Texas wins their first game I should be able to catch all of them on TV. I wish I had ESPNHD, stupid Grande.

Plunk Biggio

A weblog "Dedicated to Craig Biggio and his (probably unintentional) Quest to break the all time major league career record for getting hit by pitches."

Although he's having a good season, I wish he and Jeff Bagwell had stopped getting plunked two years ago before their salaries and talent decline started to really hurt the Astros.

Rocket to Rangers?

Now this might actually make sense for the Astros and Clemens. The Rangers are actually in contention and have prospects to trade, while there is essentially no reason for the Astros to deal with the Yankees.

We'll see what happens if the Astros keep playing this poorly and the Rangers this well.

Ricky 'absolutely' set for Dolphins camp

I can't decide whether I want him to come back or not. I miss seeing him play and had no problems with him retiring, but I don't want him coming back only to quickly retire again. He apparently has a good report with Nick Saban and is in shape, but someone on ESPN mentioned he only weighed like 190. That's way too light for him to be ready to play.
