* Woman Takes Foul Ball to Face, Makes Play on Next 2 Chances. Most of us go our entire baseball-watching existence without ever coming within 50 feet of a foul ball. A woman sitting down the first base line at Wednesday night’s Blue Jays-Rays game had not one, not two, but three foul balls hit directly at her. [Fanhouse]
* Reggie Bush’s Girlfried Offered $1 Million To Do Porn. One million dollars is a lot of dinero, but I think they’ll really need to up the ante for her to do a porno. Is there anyway I can donate a couple bucks to increase the offer to Mayra? Maybe we can do a telethon? [Ted Williams' Head]
* Freddie Roach on Floyd Mayweather: ‘I think it’s more important for him to stay undefeated than fight the best guy out there.’ “I think he just wants that zero on his record. As long as he’s undefeated he can argue and say he’s the best fighter ever, he’s as good as Sugar Ray Robinson and so forth. I think it’s more important for him to stay undefeated than fight the best guy out there. It’s a shame and I hope the fight will happen but I’m worried about that because the only thing that can get him motivated is money and they offered him 40 million dollars. If that’s not enough money I don’t know what is.” [Sports Radio Interviews]
* Nyjer Morgan Is That Guy. Would this were the WWE instead of Major League Baseball. At least then you know Washington Nationals’ outfielder/leadoff hitter/catcher assassin Nyjer Morgan would get what was coming to him, if only at the upcoming pay-per-view. [Rumors & Rants]
* Thriller Ron Artest Will Blow Your Mind. We must give props to video editor Matthew Shaffer who decided to remix some Ron Artest highlights with Michael Jackson’s Thriller music video. Dude deserves like a medal or something. [That NBA Lottery Pick]
* ‘Tradition’ Wins. Ohio State-Michigan Not Going Anywhere. After the Big Ten conference announced the two divisions of their new 12-team conference, they made sure to indicate that Ohio State and Michigan, the two most dominant football powers in that league, would continue their rivalry without interference or interruption, meeting in the last game of the regular season as they have done since 1935. [With Leather]
* For the Record: NFL predicts biggest attendance drop since 1998 … Joe Montana, Erin Andrews want you to Huddle to Fight Hunger … Terry Francona as you’ve always wanted to see him: shirtless.
* Wizard Cat defensive play of the day (Wednesday): Freddy Sanchez, Giants. Wizard Cat gives this catch four wands.
