Saint Andrew’s Net is With Leather’s daily link dump.  Now with 0% more links!

• Awful Announcing reflects on why the Yankees signed A.J. Burnett: “because they could.”  Also: because they’re dicks.
• If you haven’t read the New York Times’s profile on the Jags’ Richard Collier and his new life as a one-legged paraplegiac, check it out.  Sports journalism is alive and well.
• MJD’s Sunday Evening Spongebath recaps all of Sunday’s NFL action.  I guess that’s what they’re calling the Smorgasbord these days.  I miss the swearing.
• Dan Steinberg compiles all of the Redskins’ quotes about the disappointing loss to the Bengals at D.C. Sports Bog. It’s funny because their season’s over!
• Fan IQ has video of Wanderlei Silva preparing for his match against Rampage Jackson by training in a scuba mask.  Should spark some unpleasant memories for anyone who’s ever done military training in a gas mask.  Something tells me he might be in good shape.
