Comcast Cable got the NFL to back down from demands for their NFL Network and got them to reduce their monthly rate to 15 cents per subscriber, which opens the door for the Network to show up on other cable operators.- Speaking of the NFL Network, they’re mad at Jon Gruden because he skipped out on a verbal deal. Wah.
- Blackhawk cutie Patrick Kane (right) played with dolls as a kid. Heh, join the club! Did I say that out loud?
- New York Mets lose game after one of their baserunners forgets to step on third. September has come early!

MLB Network showed highlights from the LA telecast of the Dodgers-Mets game. Vin Scully on the final play, a throwing error that allowed the winning run to score (and perhaps on the game in general, in which the Mets made 5 errors — not counting the miss of third base — including a muffed fly in the 11th that set up the ending): “Marv Throneberry lives!” Priceless. (Only Mets fans and other assorted old people will get that reference.)
