Jason Knapp has been clocked up to 99MPH w/ the Captains.

I was at Jacobs for Asdrubal's walk-off on Saturday.  How depressing.  Not only was the crowd pathetically small, not only were they disengaged from the game action, but as soon as I exited the stadium proper, no one seemed to care that the Indians had racked up a dramatic win.  It's a lost season.  And a shame.

Head and Shoulders has insured Troy Polamalu's hair for $1mil.

Maurice Clarett has signed a 1-yr deal with the Omaha Nighthawks of the UFL.  It is likely, but not definite, that a judge will allow Mo to leave the state.
