    A Bilas-Lavin fight would be AWESOME! Bilas would probably be favored, but Lavin's got that dormant, lupine look in his eyes and I think under extreme pressure he would just snap and start tearing at Bilas' throat with those wolfish fangs. Let's get 'em in the octagon, pronto!

    Hey Matt,

    I just wanted to let you know that Bleacher Report has launched out of beta with an updated look and feel and some great new features. Check out the "Game On" link in the header to find out more.

    Next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements—and it'd be great to get a contribution from you between now and Tuesday to make Bleacher Report's launch a success.

    Let me know if you need any help with ideas or have questions. Have a great weekend Matt!

    There's a reason Cris Collinsworth graduated to the number one position, over long-time worthless analyst Tim McCarver. It's because he thinks he is somehow distinguished. See, Tim has completely lost sense of the world. The things he says no longer correspond to the event he's covering, and for that, it is difficult to hate him. Collinsworth, on the other hand, actually believes that what he's saying is in some way a "contribution" to our understanding of football. So shame on you, Cris, for believing in yourself.

    From Wikipedia:

    In Man vs. Beast, Cris Collinsworth challenged Mr. Hurry at Turfway Park in 1983. Collinsworth was defeated by a nose at the hands of Jockey Pat Cooksey who came out of retirement specifically for this race. "Hey, I'm undefeated against the Bengals, and I plan on keeping it that way," she said. In 1993 Collinsworth again challenged an equine but lost to Sir Trace at River Downs.

    This was tried again by Bengals wide receiver, Chad Johnson who did win. On June 9, 2007, Johnson raced bred horse a furlong (220 yards) for charity. Chad, given a 110-yard head start, beat the horse by twelve lengths. He hopes to re-race the horse later on in the summer.

    [I think the fact that he raced the horse twice tells you all you need to know.]

    Cris Collinsworth SUCKS. Oh my god, if I had a TiVo, I'd have a whole series on how inane his Sunday night commentary is...
