• Going back to yesterday's story, Danica Patrick's people are neither confirming or denying that she'll be participating in ESPN's rumored naked issue. This is much better than a denial, if you were wondering. Warning about the link: disturbing nakedish picture with Danica Patrick in it at the link above.
• A homeschooled high school football team? Only in America.
• Oliver Perez is the latest New York Met lost for the season. Says Fark.com: World Health Organization declares Mets a pandemic. Awesome.
• Plenty of EPL action today, with the featured match at 12:15 (Eastern) Manchester United hosting the red hot Arsenal Gunners. With the Gunners having played a Champions League qualifier earlier this week, methinks a wise play is there to be had on the Red Devils.
• UFC102 goes tonight from the Rose Garden in Portland, Oregon. The main event features Randy Couture taking on Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira in what is a huge fight for both coming off losses to Brock Lesnar and Frank Mir, respectively. Not the greatest undercard, but looking forward to "The Polish Experiment" Kryzsztof Soszynski - Winnipeg's own - taking on Brandon "The Truth" Vera. More on "The Polish Experiment" here.
• It'll be a rare occasion today for Toronto FC in that they'll play in front of an MLS crowd roudier than their own. The Seattle Sounders are routinely putting 30,000+ fans in the stands and they've got Q-West Field rocking. What will be even rarer is if TFC can pull of a road win on a huge success story in the MLS on and off the field. 4pm kickoff on CBC.
• another game, another home loss for the Toronto Argos. That's 10 straight now dating back to the start of August 2009. Anybody tells you that life isn't good or fair, just point them to that.
• strange going to ESPN.com this morning and seeing EPL scores leading the banner at the top. Guess that's what happens when the World Wide Leader gets on board.
• that's 11 walkoff wins for the New York Yankees now after last nights 3-run blast from Robbie Cano in the 10th gave them a 5-2 win over the Chicago White Sox.

Have a great Saturday!
