- This is always fun. The Wonderlic scores got leaked again this year, so we get to know who is smart and who won the Vince Young award. [Awful Announcing]
- There seem to be reports that the Lions are leaning toward taking three different players with the #1 overall pick in the draft. Funny thing is, they are all right. [Deadspin]
- The NFL announced its schedule for the opening weekend and Thanksgiving Day. The Bears and Packers will play the Sunday Night game on NBC the first week of the season. [FanHouse]
- Bulls avoid embarrassing failure to beat the Wizards by two last night. They’re still in the thick of the playoff race. [Sun-Times]
- Derrek Lee was not happy with the World Baseball Classic folks for pressuring him to replace Kevin Youkilis on the US roster. Lee was just returning for injury, so I suppose I’m mad at them too. [Tribune]
- This is a great idea that I have somehow missed out on for years: a fantasy baseball league where the goal is to have the worst players. My team would be called “The Pittsburgh Pirates.” [Sharapova's Thigh]
- NQTC ran into a buzzsaw in the first round of the Blog Name Tournament in the form of Hugging Harold Reynolds. We got whooped. [Zoner]
