My morsels for today:
NFL: The worst-kept secret in the league became reality Monday when Pittsburgh Steelers inside linebacker Larry Foote was cut. Foote, who started every game the last five seasons with the Steelers and helped them win two Super Bowls, wanted out of the Steel City because he was about to lose his starting spot to Lawrence Timmins. The second worst-kept secret in the league is Foote wants to play for his hometown Detroit Lions. He was born in the Motor City, and played his high school football at Detroit Pershing and college football at the University of Michigan. Let’s see if the Lions can get this done. Their defense can use all the help it can get.
CFB: I like Penn State coach Joe Paterno’s suggestion about adding a 12th team to the Big Ten and having a conference championship game like other major conferences. JoPa suggests Pittsburgh, Rutgers or Syracuse would be a good fit. I’d love to see Notre Dame join the Big Ten for football, but that will never happen.
MLB: Thank God St. Louis Cardinals centerfielder Rick Ankiel is OK and out of the hospital after slamming headfirst into a wall at Busch Stadium while making a running catch during Monday’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies. After all Ankiel has been through to get back to the big leagues, it would have been tragic if he had been seriously injured.
MEDIA: It would help author Selena Roberts’ credibility in her scathing book about Alex Rodriguez if she would admit she was wrong to lead the nationwide witch hunt against the falsely accused Duke lacrosse players.
MEDIA: There’s a Stein’s Lines jinx! One day after proclaiming Brandon Inge of the Detroit Tigers a candidate for the American League Comeback Player of the Year Award, he went 0-for-4 Monday against the Minnesota Twins and failed to reach base for the first time all season. Sorry about that, Brandon.
MEDIA: A caller Monday on 670 The Score radio in Chicago posed this interesting question: Who would win a 40-yard foot race … Paul Konerko of the White Sox or Brad Miller of the Bulls? I vote for Konerko. I wonder what would be the winning time?
See you Wednesday!

That Ankiel clip was brutal, that guy's a book deal waiting to happen once he retires.
