What to watch for in this weekend's biggest matchups.  Home teams in ALL CAPS.

Hope Solo over Briana Scurry — Hope apologized for yesterday's outburst, saying she's sorry "Briana's face is so busted."

FEDERAL DOG FIGHTING CHARGES over Lawsuits from Banks — File this under Michael Vick news: the hits just keep on comin'.

Scarlett Johansson's Bathwater over JONES SODA — I know Jones Soda is proud of its representation at Qwest Field, but this story about their new flavors is ridiculous:

A spokeswoman for the Seattle-based company said the four literally named flavors — Dirt, Sports Cream, Perspiration and Natural Field Turf — are "pretty lifelike… Perspiration Soda is kind of salty tasting," she said, with a slightly higher sodium content than the average soda, with a smooth, "stinky football sock" finish.

PAC-10 POON over Big East Poon — Exhibit A pictured, right.  Big East Poon has the same lonely post with Louisville girls.  Apparently the conference doesn't have much to offer.

PLAYING IT COOL over Eating Your Dime Bag — EDSBS has a nice recap of the long fall from grace of Louisville linebacker Willie Williams that ended with a mouthful of marijuana.

Oh yeah, and in REAL sports match-ups, the big games are Rockies-Diamondbacks and Marlins-Mets/Nats-Phillies in MLB, Cal-Oregon and WVU-South Florida in NCAA football, and… there aren't any real blue-chip games in the NFL.  Maybe Indy-Denver?  Stick around this weekend for the KD Shift.
