Saint Andrew’s Net is With Leather’s daily link dump.  It was safely evacuated from a plane yesterday.

  • Who will win the conference championships and Super Bowl, based solely upon regional beer.  It doesn’t look good for Iron City or Natty Boh.  [Modern Spectator]
  • RBI Baseball Editor allows you to modify the rosters.  Here’s a closer look at some key match-ups: J.D. Salinger versus Satan, and Nietzsche versus Jesus.  [Mouthpiece Sports]
  • Not remotely sports-related, but everyone should read The Nation’s report on racist “vigilantism” during Katrina.  It’s lengthy but engrossing.  And infuriating.
  • Remember yesterday’s soccer hoax?  It seems to be driven by an Irish parable.  Here’s the literary background the mainstream media hasn’t picked up on yet.  [The Run of Play]
  • So, Marvin Harrison?  Quiet and unassuming Colts wide receiver?  Kind of a dick, actually.  [ESPN the Mag]  Much friendlier: Ana Hickman.
