9:00 PM Chris Johnson is a very fast man. But Rajon Rondo wants to see for himself. The blog Red's Army reports that the Celtics guard has challenged the Titans RB to a race, with the winner getting $2,000. CJ tweets back: "that's easy money set it up on espn."

8:45 PM We always hear about Cuban baseball players defecting to the U.S., but Cuban umpires? The AP reports that Nelson Diaz arrived in Miami on Sunday with his wife & two daughters. He was to work the 2009 WBC, but Cuban officials said they "didn't trust him".

8:30 PM La Salle University has reached a settlement to pay the family of former football player Preston Plevretes $7.5 million for medical care. Plevretes suffered a serious brain injury during a 2005 game. La Salle dropped its football program in 2007.

8:15 PM Florida Panthers defenseman Keith Ballard demonstrates his disgust at allowing an Atlanta Thrashers goal by swinging his stick at the goalpost - only to take out goalie teammate Tomas Voukon. Voukon had to leave the ice on a stretcher. (H/T Litter Box Cats)

Charlie Weis Looking To New England Patriots For Football Help

Posted by jason on Nov. 20, 2007, 7:32pm

IRISH COACH ASKS NEW ENGLAND FOR FOOTBALL ADVICE: Charlie Weis is desperate for help, and he’s going to his former employer to get it:

The CHICAGO TRIBUNE reports that the Notre Dame coach will be chatting with the Patriots this off-season, hoping to get some constructive criticism and gridiron advice:”I think those guys would have no problem telling me what things I did right and what things I did wrong.”

Weis, who was the Pats’ offensive coordinator before leaving for South Bend, is looking for answers to ND’s dismal 2-9 season, which mercifully comes to an end this Saturday at Stanford.And what better source of football knowledge than a 10-0 NFL squad that’s coming off of a 56-10 blitzing of Buffalo.

“Those people…won’t be afraid of saying to me, ‘What the heck are you doing?’ And that’s what I want.”

Weis doesn’t need to go all the way to Foxboro to hear that response. Hundreds of Irish fans have already been telling him the same thing all season.
