With NCAA Football underway and the start of the NFL season approaching, I figured we should take a look at the best football hits on the web. I fished out the plays with obvious helmet-to-helmet contact because that is not a legal hit. Here are your unlucky 13...

Baseball stadiums hosting NFL games.

In the biggest stage in his life thus far, Brian Barden managed to accomplish a difficult feat in the world of baseball. No, this feat was not a good thing. Brian managed to strike out four times in a game against Chinese-Taipei (Taiwan). Don't get me wrong, I may have been the only one watching this game, but that feat will undoubtedly keep him from playing much in the foreseeable future.

With the addition of CC (don't call me C.C.) Sabathia along with Prince Fielder the Brewers look, quite literally, like heavyweight contenders. But are they really the fattest team in baseball? Using the active roster for each team, I will use the average to determine who truly is the fattest team in baseball. (Visit link for 10 fattest teams in MLB)

With the loss of starting catcher Jorge Posada for the rest of the season, the Yankees made a splash today. The Yankees have traded the Tigers Kyle Farnsworth in exchange of Ivan Rodriguez. Pudge, who is hitting .295 this season waived his no trade clause to join the Yanks. With the acquisition of Nady and now Rodriquez, the only thing holding the Yankees back from a championship is their pitching. Could this be the end of Posada in Yankee pinstripes?

With the MLB trade deadline looming and already one seemingly bad trade so far (Teixeira for Kotchman), let's take a look back at the worst deadline deals ever.

10. Yankees trade Jay Buhner to the Mariners for Ken Phelps-1988 Buhner hit 307 homers and had 951 RBIs over his-- years with the Mariners. Phelps hit .224 for the rest of the year and was traded the following year...

There is confusion at Cowboys camp today. After joining the Cowboys, Pacman Jones told people to call him by his given name Adam. Adam "Pacman" Jones now says it is O.K. to call him Pacman if he is on the football field. Adam, I have news for you, you are not spiderman. Either take the name Pacman, or don't. I am not going to go about the day policing myself to whether I correctly used his nickname.

A guest post I made for Cuzoogle.

1. Pay the kids in the outfield money for each ball they fetch.

2. Use metal bats.

3. Use Erin Andrews more.

4. Zap Chis Berman each time he says back.

5. Actually have home run hitters.

A day after the legend asked for his unconditional release, the Packers have released a statement. The Packers say that Brett is welcome to rejoin the team. If this seems too good to be true, that is because it is. They welcomed Brett back today under the condition that he is Aaron Rodger's back-up. The Packers are not willing to discuss his situation at this point other than that he is welcome to return to the Packers. I doubt that Brett will want to return to the NFL only to be a back-up. With the the Packers actually releasing him unlikely because of the probability of him staying in the NFC North, he will most likely end up in a AFC uniform. The Jets, Ravens, and Dolphins all look like possible fits for a one year stay for Brett.

In the wake of Brett Favre requesting his release from the Packers, he has a few viable teams to go to. They all happen to reside in the NFC North. His options are the Bears, Lions, and the Vikings as the title suggests. What would he look like in any one of these uniforms you ask? You have come to the right place. (view Favre as a Bear, Lion, and Viking at the link)

A deal is in the works for Barack Obama to sponsor a Nascar team. The driver that may slap "Obama '08" on the side of his car is Ken Schrader driver of the #49 car. The sponsorship will be for Pocono August 3rd. What will happen if Schrader doesn't qualify for the race? Oh man that wouldn't be what the Obama camp was looking for.

On Friday, Brett Favre requested his unconditional release from the Green Bay Packers. In a letter that Favre sent the Packers, he told them that he wished to continue playing and went on to ask for his release from the Packers. The last straw seems to be the unanswered text message. This release is not good for the Packers. With Chicago, Minnesota, and possibly the Lions all in need of a Quarterback, the Packers look like they will be facing the man who was the face of the franchise for 16 years twice this coming season.

Sergei Shmolik, a ref for the Belarus soccer league, came on to the field in the second half acting a bit strange Saturday. At first, it appeared as if he had pain in his lower back. Reports say that the official stopped running up and down the field and just officiated from the center circle. After the game he was taken to a hospital and tests showed that he was not suffering from back pain, but way too much to drink during half time. (Visit link to see the video)

Elton Brand is reportedly set to accept the Philadelphia 76ers offer of 5 years, $82 million. The whole reason that Brand is even in free agency was to clear cap room for Davis. He told the Clippers and Baron that he planned to stay in LA, despite opting out of the final year of his contract.

This whole scenario is eerily similar to the Carlos Boozer situation with Cleveland. Boozer, of course, is now with the Jazz. It looks as if Elton may may have some major splanin' to do.
