Each week’s show will present a wide-ranging conversation on baseball’s extensive history with Williams and Petrocelli talking with legendary players and personalities. Hosts and guests will share their favorite memories and experiences from their time in the game, and will encourage baseball fans around the country to call in and participate in the conversation by sharing their own favorite recollections.
The fireballing Williams earned 192 saves and posted a 3.65 ERA in 11 Major League seasons with the Texas Rangers (1986-88), Chicago Cubs (1989-90), Philadelphia Phillies (1991-93), Houston Astros (1994), California Angels (1995) and Kansas City Royals (1997).

Bronson Arroyo Ball Rubbing Cheater
St. Louis Cardinals pitching coach Dave Duncan has a theory on Bronson Arroyo:
I'm sure he had pine tar on his cap. He didn't have any problem getting a grip. Balls like that can generate a lot more movement than a slick ball that hasn't been rubbed up ... I've been around for 40-plus years now and I've never seen a major-league baseball game played with balls like that.
When asked if he saw Arroyo go to his cap, Duncan replied, "Just every pitch."
I have to agree. I've never seen a major-league baseball game played with balls like that either. And kids? Remember, Balls like that can generate a lot more movement than a slick ball that hasn't been rubbed up.

Brett Favre, already the name that sits on the most newly minted NFL Jerseys, may wind up in the Guinness Book of World Records if silly stupid ESPN has its way. USA Today by way of Awful Announcing:
ESPN hopes to hype records for its Green Bay-Minnesota game Monday night. Literally.

Don't you become 'Bob' as you grow up? Anyway - WWL 870 AM's Bobby Hebert's Key to a Saints victory over the NY Jets:
Tweet
- Keep Drew Brees healthy
- Don't let Rex Ryan's defense hit Brees
- Have balance running the ball
- Be succesful on 1st down
- Don't get into 3rd and long
- Control the tempo
"If they can do that I really think that they're gonna beat the Jets by double digits."
That's it, Bobby?

Michael Vick Has No Nike Deal: Nike
CNBC reports, “Nike does not have a contractual relationship with Michael Vick," via Nike spokesman Kejuan Wilkins. "We have agreed to supply product to Michael Vick as we do a number of athletes who are not under contract with Nike.”
"Mike has had a great relationship with Nike and is excited to be part of the Nike team again," Vick's personal agent, Joel Segal, told Sports Business Journal.
I, too, am proud to be part of the Nike team. I just bought a pair of new sneaks this past weekend.

NY Times Book Reviewers 'Gay': ESPNs Rick Reilly
Jon Stewart once said, "'Capote' was groundbreaking because it 'showed America that not all gay people are virile cowboys. Some are actually effete New York intellectuals.'"
ESPN's Rick Reilly stole the line yesterday in his review of Ochocinco's book:
The luckiest stiffs in this business are the people who write The New York Times Book Review. When awful jockographies come in, they get to play the how-strong-is-our-shredder game. Here, we have to read them. Worse, we have to review them in such a way that we aren't on the wrong end of a helmet-to-head collision next time we're on the sideline. Just once I'd like to see the effete NYTBRers try that.
Well done, Jon. It was much funnier in 2006. But if you'd like to read the rest of Reilly's homoerotic undertones - knock yourself out.
