One Plus About Steve Smith's Exit

Panthers fans are peeved about the team's decision to cut Steve Smith and the he veteran receiver isn't happy about it either. When asked about playing against his former team, Smith said: “Put your goggles on cause there’s going to be blood and guts everywhere.” On the plus side, JJ's Red Hots is offering $.89 hot dogs in honor of Steve Smith's legacy.

Dumb Baseball Injury of the Day

I don't want to have to write about dumb baseball injuries every day, but then Francisco Rodriguez hurts his foot by stepping on a cactus and Jake Peavy slices his finger with a fishing knife. The latest victim is Dodgers pitcher Josh Beckett, who sprained his thumb after it got caught in a set of doors that lead to the team's clubhouse. 

Quote of the Day

"Decker will miss Manning a lot, but Geno will miss Decker a lot more"

-Christopher Campbell

This was the very first comment on ESPN.com's report about the Jets signing Eric Decker, and a solid one at that. Geno Smith completed just 55.8% of his passes for the Jets last season, which was 35th in the NFL.

Odds and Ends

It's getting expensive to be the Tooth Fairy ...

There is actual research on the famous "five-second rule" of dropped food ... Will Kane leave the WWE to work at his new insurance company?
