Big Names and No Game

News out of Bristol today is that the World Wide Leader has added two monstrous names to its NFL analyst lineup for this upcoming post-lockout season. The league’s best wide out and one of its greatest coaches, Jerry Rice and Bill Parcels have joined ESPN’s arsenal of football enthusiasts. I’m just perplexed as to how they are going to fill air time with this many guys.

Read of the Day

Every so often when trolling the internet for sporting news you find an eye-opening story or “essay” that needs to be shared. So we here at the Creatures decided it would be a good idea to start “Read of the Day” where we share with you what we find to be pertinent and interesting stories that are out there on the interwebs. We do this because we know you have better things to do with your time while we simply don’t. Our first ROTD is currently the headliner on ESPN.com and will be featured in the next issue of ESPN the Magazine. ESPN staff writer Amy K. Nelson and ESPN Mag senior writer Peter Keating joined forces to investigate the potential sign stealing that is going on in Toronto. Really interesting stuff and definitely worth a read. Fuckin’ baseball players don’t know when to stop cheating. Check it out here.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Cliff Lee is greeted at home plate by teammate Shane Victornio after blasting a solo home run in the top of the 7th inning against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The homer ended up being the game winning run, and Lee’s bat wasn’t the only thing making noise in Chavez Ravine last night. The Phillies southpaw went 8 innings and allowed bagel runs on 4 hits while striking out 10. It was Lee’s 12th win of the season and the Phillies 76th, extending their NL East lead over the Braves to 8.5 games. (Photo by Stephen Dunn/Getty Images)
