NASCAR Update:
The final weekend is upon us and Jimmie Johnson, nursing a 86 point lead, will look to win his second straight Cup championship at Homestead-Miami Speedway. While Johnson is working on number 2, Greg Biffle will be trying for his fourth straight Homestead win. It will also be the end of many relationships like Dale Earnhardt, Jr and DEI, J.J. Yeley and Joe Gibbs Racing, Kyle Busch and Hendrick Motorsports, Ricky Rudd and nascar, as well as Casey Mears' time in the #25, the Chevy Monte Carlo in Nascar and the 2007 season. Catch all the aciton for the Ford 400 on the banked 1.5 mile track on ABC at 3 PM/est.

With Robbie Reiser leaving his post as crew chief for the #17 Ford driven by Matt Kenseth, team engineer Chip Bolin looks to be the leading candidate to replace him.
Nascar is looking to "tweak" the qualifying process with two separate qualifying sessions.
People of Florida, show your love of Nascar with a Nascar vanity lisense plate! (via jayski)
Football Update:
Ricky Williams, recently reinstated by the League, will rejoin the Miami Dolphins. Because even if they lose, Ricky knows how to make the team feel like they won, or at least forget that they still haven't won a game.
More QB changes, Trent Dilfer will start for the 49ers in place of the ailing yet very cute Alex Smith.
In just like Chris Simms news, Pittsburgh Steelers free safety Ryan Clark had his spleen removed on Thursday and will be out for the remainder of the season.
Adrian Peterson donated his record breaking game worn Jersey to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Luckily, he won't be needing it since he'll be on the bench with a knee injury this weekend.
The Giants will be heading to Detroit to take on the suprisingly good Lions on Sunday. The G-Men are coming off a 31-20 loss to the Cowboys and hope to get revenge on the baby cats. Pro Bowl middle linebacker Antonio Pierce is committed to play on Sunday even though he is still suffering from headaches after getting a concussion during the Cowboys game. Tune into Fox at 1 PM/est to cheer them on. Let's go Big Blue!
Popo in my crib News:
Barry Bonds has been indicted on perjury and obstruciton of justice on Thursday for allegedly lying under oath to a federal grand jury. Bonds had told the grand jury he did not knowingly take steriods, but with the indictment the government must have evidence that reverses that thought. The new Homerun King is facing up to 30 years in jail, hopefully at Martha Stewart's alma mater Camp Cupcake. Watch out Barry, because the popo are on your tail!
A judge accepted Adam "Pacman" Jones plea deal on Thursday which reduced his felony charge to a gross misdemeanor. Pacman will get probation after he blabs on the witness stand for his involvement in a Las Vegas strip club shooting. Watch out Pacman, because the popo are on your tail!
UPDATE: Former Indy driver David D. "Salt" Walther was sentenced to three years after leading the popo on a 100 MPH chase. The 59 year old was convicted of failing to comply with an order or signal of a popo officer. The sentence is on top of his August conviciton of nonsupport of dependents and violating terms of an earlier sentence for which he got two years and two months. Watch out Salt, because the popo are on your tail!
