While You Were Getting Ridiculously Plastered, Miguel

Here's a wrap of the past four days:

Baseball: That whole safe distance thing I wrote on Thursday about the Tigers, I am chalking that up to being frazzled about my move. Obviously if the Twins and Tigers are playing a 163rd game today that lead wasn't quite big enough...Speaking of stupid things, Miguel Cabrera got very wasted and then got into a fight with his wife early Saturday morning. Detroit GM Dave Dombrowski had to pick up Miggy from the police station but as of yet, no charges have been filed. Watch out Miguel, because the popo are on your tail!...Also hanging out with the popo this weekend is former Rockies pitcher Shawn Chacon who was picked up at a bowling alley for having unpaid gambling markers in Nevada. Watch out Shawn, because the popo are on your tail!..The Brewers are so happy with the way Trevor Hoffman performed this season that they gave him a one year, $8 million deal...Current Rockies pitcher Jorge De La Rosa will test his tight left groin in a bullpen session on Tuesday...Jose Reyes will need surgery but it's not for his torn hamstring...Congrats to the Jays' Aaron Hill and Cardinals' Chris Carpenter on being named comeback players of the year.

Basketball: According to LeBron James Browns WR Braylon Edwards is very childish. I guess he was mixing five hour engery and vodka again.

College Football: Gators back-up QB John Brantley should probably change his number after he received taunting texts from LSU fans...Florida QB Tim Tebow is feeling better but has yet to be cleared to play...Also enjoying the waiting game is Oklahoma's Sam Bradford...Is Bobby Bowden's time at Florida State coming to an end?

Football: The Vikings nipped the Packers, 30-23...Eli Manning has plantar fascitis but has been cleared to play. It's up to Manning as to whether he can deal with the pain. Man up E!...Eagles QB Donovan McNabb returned to practice and will likely play on Sunday...The Lions are hoping Matthew Stafford will be good to go on Sunday against the Steelers...Raiders RB Darren McFadden will miss the next few weeks after undergoing surgery to repair torn cartilage in his knee...Michael Crabtree has decided he should probably get down to business if he ever hopes to make money this year.


Hockey: Matt Gilroy's first career NHL goal was the difference maker in the Rangers 3-2 win over the Devils...Columbus busted three goals past Roberto Luongo in the second period to top the Canucks, 5-3...Stars center Mike Modano is doubtful for Tuesday's game at Edmonton with a rib injury...In other injury news, Sharks center Joe Pavelski will miss two weeks with a lower body injury...And the Canadiens will be without Andrei Markov for four months after slicing a tendon in his ankle...Center Dominic Moore signed a one year contract with the Panthers...And the Stars have given left wing Loui Eriksson a six year, $25.5 million extension.

Nascar: Congrats to Tony Stewart on winning at Kansas this weekend...Click here for full results...And here for updated standings...Are Danica Patrick and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. teaming up?

Best of the Rest: Serena Williams has taken over the No. 1 ranking from Dinara Safina.
