Yaw Bee Baw: The Michael Oher Story

Michael Oher, Ole Miss football's own "freak of nature" is the subject of "The Blind Side" by Michael Lewis, the author of "Moneyball." Every Day Should Be Saturday has an entertaining summary of the book. On Oher's recruitment by Rebels coach Ed Orgeron:

Dear Mom: Stop or I'll Sue. Love, Drew

Drew Brees is the starting quarterback for the New Orleans Saints. His mother is running for a Texas appeals court post. Drew says his relationship with his mom has been "nonexistent" since he refused to hire her as his agent after leaving Purdue six years ago. She has been using a photo of him in a San Diego Chargers uniform in her campaign ads. He asked her to stop. When she didn't, his agent threatened legal action. What time is Christmas dinner, mom?

Ravens Rough Up Saints

The Baltimore Ravens hand the New Orleans Saints their first home loss of the season, 35-22. Take that, Mother Theresa. Steve McNair got the Ravens going, running for one touchdown and throwing for two more.

College Football: Instant Replay, Oct. 28

How Mississippi teams did on Saturday, a day which produced a hat trick of misery:

Rudy Haters Unite: UPDATED

The midshipmen at Navy have put together a hilarious/disturbing "Rudy" remake in preparation for Saturday's game with the Irish. Now you know how sailors get through those long deployments. Go Navy.

NFL Preview: Ravens at Saints

Preview

The New Orleans Saints return to action after a bye week, playing host to the Baltimore Ravens (Sunday, noon, Ch. 12). The Ravens are led by quarterback Steve McNair, the Mount Olive native and Alcorn State legend. But the Ravens, who were also off last week, have struggled lately, losing their last two games.

World Series Game 5: Cardinals 4, Tigers 2

The St. Louis Cardinals defeat the Detroit TIgers 4-2, winning the World Series 4-1 and becoming the worst team (83 regular-season victories) to ever win the World Series. The Cardinals win their 10th world championship (only the Yankees have won more) and their first title since 1982.

There's No Such Thing As Too Much Cowbell

The folks behind "The Coach O Song" strike again with the "New Mississippi State Bulldogs Fight Song."

World Series Game 4: Cardinals 5, Tigers 4

The St. Louis Cardinals defeat the Detroit Tigers 5-4 and take a 3-1 lead in the World Series. The Cardinals can clinch the series with a victory in Game 5 on Friday night. But history says don't pop the cork on the champagne just yet. In 1968 and 1985, the Cardinals led 3-1, only to lose the Series. The team they lost to in 1968? The Tigers.

World Series: Weather Update

There's bad news and bad weather in St. Louis.

World Series Game 4: Rained Out

The World Series schedule has been pushed back at least a day after Game 4 in St. Louis was rained out on Wednesday night. The problem is that the forecast for the next few days in St. Louis and Detroit calls for more bad weather.

World Series Game 3: Cardinals 5, Tigers 0

St. Louis pitcher Chris Carpenter hammers Detroit for eight innings as the Cardinals win 5-0 Tuesday night and take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-7 series. Game 4 is Wednesday (7 p.m., Ch. 40).

Rebels, Lousy On Field, Get Tough Off Field

Ole Miss football coach Ed Orgeron was busy Monday. Garry Pack, one of the Rebels' top defensive players, was kicked off the team for the dreaded undisclosed violations of team rules. Four other players were suspended for the same reason (allegedly smoking marijuana). And fullback Quentin Taylor quit the team. The timing of this disciplinary action is crucial. Now the Rebels have a ready-made excuse for their upcoming thrashing at the hands of Auburn on Saturday.

Eli, Giants Stampede Cowboys

Former Rebel legend Eli Manning threw two touchdown passes as the New York Giants whipped the Dallas Cowboys 36-22 on Monday night. But the quarterback who made the biggest impact was the Cowboys' Drew Bledsoe, who was so lousy that he was benched at halftime.

Florida Makes McNabb Puke

There must be something about Florida that makes Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb sick. He famously puked on the field during the Super Bowl in Jacksonville a couple of years back. He did it again on Sunday in Tampa. Maybe there's something about losing that makes him sick to his stomach. Or maybe Terrell Owens is right and McNabb is a wimp. Or perhaps D-Mac is worried about his weight.
