Saint Andrew’s Net is With Leather’s daily link dump.  It may not win you games, but it can at least hold a 17-point lead in the fourth quarter.

  • USS Mariner points out that there’s one thing the Mariners can beat every other team at: losing.  Ah, Seattle sports.  Thank God the Seahawks are having such an awesome season.
  • The Sporting Blog hits you with your weekly dose of The Alphabetical.  SO much better than Lee Corso trying to break down a highlight reel.
  • Ump Bump snags a photo of A-Rod pulling a C-note from a stack and wiping his face with it.  To be fair, it was extremely warm in the top hat and monocle store.
  • Bleed Cubbie Blue mourns the end of the 2008 season.  It’s for the best, Chicago.  Remember when everyone pulled for the Red Sox in 2004?  You don’t want to be the next Boston.  Or rather, everyone else doesn’t want you to be the next Boston.
  • on 205th diligently covered the public disrobing of Gina Carano at her weigh-in.  If I were Elite XC, I would tamper with the scale every time.  Also revealing too much: Olympic javelin non-hero Leryn Franco on the runway (NSFW).
