While I catch up after being out of town.
- Jay Nordlinger has a new Impromptus up.
- Red Sox fans won't have Dave Sveum to kick around anymore. Major league third base coach has to one of the most thankless jobs out there. If you send a runner and he scores - everyone praises the runner. If you send a runner and he doesn't score - well that's when fans learn the name of their third base coach. People in Boston knew Sveum's name (but probably not how to spell it).
- SI's Tom Verducci with some World Series tidbits and his pick.
- Terry Bowden looks at the Heisman race. I don't know why Maurice Drew doesn't get more love.
- The Cold Hard Football Facts on the media's treatment of Tedy Bruschi. I got a kick out of their lede:
The proliferation of the sports media over the past 10 years or so has led to a proliferation of unqualified douche-tards posing as “pundits” and a proliferation of opinions so vast, varied and grandly miscast that one can only pause in gape-eyed wonder at their incalculable, cosmic and infinite stupidity.
