Football Update:
24 hours later and it turns out Bill Parcells will not be joining the Atlanta Falcons. He will, however, be going to Miami, becoming the VP of football operations.
The Dallas Cowboys will be without Roy Williams after his appeal was rejected by the League. But they will have QB Tony Romo after injuring his thumb and pride during Sunday's loss to the Eagles.
In other QB news, the Ravens may start rookie Troy Smith on Sunday...Kellen Clemens will start for the Jets this weekend, you know, if he's healthy...Kurt Warner thinks his performance this season for the Arizona Cardinals merits a chance at the starting job in 2008. I know Matt Leinart may not be what you thought he was, but at least he's younger than Tom Glavine.
Reggie Bush practiced on Wednesday despite a torn ligament in his left knee, but his status for Sunday's game remains up in the air.
Steelers safety Anthony Smith was quite talkative leading up to Pittsburgh's loss to the Patriots, but now it seems Smith will have to shout his opinions from the bench as he was demoted by the team.
The St. Louis Rams will retire Marshall Faulk's number 28 during halftime of the Rams' Thursday game against the Steelers. It's like the NFL network thinks of more reasons why you should be pissed off you can't watch the games.
Speaking of the NFL Network, the Senate is thinking of revoking the NFL's anti-trust exemption. Between baseball hearings and the NFL Network, it makes me think that everyday is vacation in Washington.
The Bills will have a special visitor during their final home game against the Giants on Sunday, Kevin Everett. Everett suffered a spinal cord injury during the September 9th game against the Denver Broncos.

Even though the Mitchell Report recommended no punishment for the names included, Commissioner Bud Selig is still looking to go after them. But, he may run into some problems because the evidence in the report are less than rock solid.
It's rare when a story about Alex Rodriguez leaves me jokeless, but here's one. Alex is giving back to his Miami community with a $1.5 million Alex Rodriguez Education Center which will support the Boys & Girls club he attended as a kid.
Braves Update:
Looks like the Braves will be needing another bullpen arm after reports surfaced that Ron Mahay will be going to the Royals with a two year, $8 million deal.
Popo in my crib News:

Broncos punter Todd Sauerbrun gives you another reason to not get arrested and act like an ass to the popo, Broncos coach Mike Shanahan has admitted that Sauerbrun's off the field actions were a big reason why he's unemployed.
