I have good news and bad news -- the Mets scored six runs in the first against Dave Bush and the Brewers, and Bush is on my fantasy team. Still, the LTLs wait for no man:

• Jacksonville police say Jaguars RB Fred Taylor yelled at them repeatedly during a traffic stop until they charged him with disorderly conduct. But Taylor tells a very different tale. He insists the cops were rabid fantasy football players who kept threatening to "handcuff" him to Maurice Jones-Drew.

• The Oprah Winfrey Show's season premiere, being taped today in Chicago, will feature 150 U.S. Olympians. And this sounds exciting: The Olympians will bring their gold medals, while Oprah has promised to break out a few bricks from her home vault for the audience.

• Central Florida had to cancel football coach George O'Leary's teleconference this week because school officials accidentally gave out the number to a phone sex line. Wow. That's the most unbelievable story I've seen since O'Leary's résumé.

• A Russian sumo wrestler who tested positive for marijuana insists he's never used the drug and wants a new test. He swears the only thing he inhales is food.

LeBron James will be featured in an upcoming film about his high school career. In it, LeBron is adopted by a wealthy California family, but his athletic talents and the wrong-side-of-the-tracks chip on his shoulder lead to plenty of drama. Oops, sorry, that's the 90210 remake.

• Just-cut Lions RB Tatum Bell reportedly swiped the bags of the man signed to replace him, Rudi Johnson, from right outside team CEO Matt Millen's office. Just as well; the sooner Johnson learns to accept losing things, the better.

Programming schedule: Caption This will be held today. September's Write Your Own Joke (WYOJ) contest will kick off tomorrow afternoon, with the winners posted Friday morning. Also remember that the 10 Spot Real World Outing is fast approaching; it's set for Saturday, Sept. 13. More details to come shortly.

Since I am an Astro fan, I want the Brewers to lose. That's as close as I can get to root for the Mets.

To the new post!

Can I say new post or is that line reserved for Marshall?

Guess Tatum should change his name to "Take 'em"

September 3, 2008  02:42 PM ET

why would you ever want dave bush on your fantasy team anyway?

whew, i'm glad i was able to catch up on all the comments from LTL, I thought since it's almost 3 i would be way behind.

Bell is trying to get arrested so he can get fast-tracked into the Bengal's backfield

Does this mean that it is going to be shown 'live' in 12 hours?

Johnson should know better than to leave his bags unguarded, having come up with the Bengals.

Does having the munchies adequately describe the aftermath of a sumo wrestler on pot? That has to be the kind of thing that causes global famines.

150 U.S. Olympians? That should be a pretty peachy moment for the guy who scored dead last in the discus

September 3, 2008  02:46 PM ET

Central Florida had to cancel football coach George O'Leary's teleconference this week because school officials accidentally gave out the number to a phone sex line.
-------------------
That wasn't a phone sex line, it was Mike Price's unlisted number.

That would be the starting 5 on the Redeem Team, and their entourages.
