MICHAEL IRVIN SET TO PIPE UP ON PATRICK RADIO SHOW?: Larry Brown is the Raisin Bran of sports bloggers today, with two scoops:

• Michael Irvin may appear on Dan Patrick’s syndicated radio show.

Too bad no legitimate radio station in a Top 30 market will clear the show live (1790AM overnights on tape delay in Milwaukee doesn’t count). Mark our words, Patrick will end up on Sporting News Radio - since that’s the only way for him to clear any real non-ESPN midday markets (no ESPN-branded station will touch him, obviously).

• David Wells has a baseball with the signatures of Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron on it. And he just completely ruined it.

More from our daily rounds:

• Intrepid SbB reader Mike follows up on our link to LION IN OIL’s piece about future USC basketball recruiting tool player Lil’ Romeo by giving us a great idea for a companion to our grilled cheese for dinner tonight:

• The WIZARD OF ODDS quenches our unending thirst for North Texas football news, reporting that the Mean Green hired a high school coach, Todd Dodge, to take over the program. Dodge’s son, Riley, is a top high school quarterback prospect in Texas and switched his commit to from Texas to NTU (nice move!) when his dad was tabbed for the gig.

Much more interesting is the Wiz’s found video of Riley barfing on the internet.

• Unsilent Majority of KISSING SUZY KOLBER has another installment of KSK’s “NFL Season Prekkake“. Today UM cuddles up with Coughlin and the New York Giants. Excerpts:

“-Eli Manning is such a pussy that team trainers give him a precautionary Feline AIDS test bi-weekly”
“-Amani Toomer is benign; dressed in rags”
“-Osi Umenyiora is Nigerian for, ‘Expires After Contract Year’”
“-Michael Strahan videotaped his wife’s sister getting naked but he really had his eye on her boyfriend”
“-Tom Coughlin refuses to deny the rumors surrounding his affiliation with the Fourth Reich”
“-Brandon Jacobs and Ruben Droughns take bites of Ahmad Bradshaw when they need a snack between meals”

• Following up on our tribute to Jay Mohr last week, we’re happy to report that Mr. Sugar is also doing a video production for FoxSports.com.

AND he’s apparently brushing up for that duty by hosting World of Warcraft costume contests. Cool!

• WITH LEATHER reports Michael Vick has garnered support from a religious organization. Surprisingly, it isn’t the one headed by that gay fine, upstanding preacher who is chums with our favorite former MLB owner now based in DC.

• The PALM BEACH POST has this sighting last week: “Atlantis Resort in Nassau, Bahamas, on Saturday night: Phoenix Suns star point guard Steve Nash, dancing with several ladies and sipping Grey Goose at the resort’s nightclub, Aura.”

No word if one of those “ladies” happened to be his wife, Alejandra.

• Dave Smith of Sporting News Radio on the prospect of Rutgers getting invited to join the Big 10: “That means Rutgers will go from the most underrated conference to the most overrated conference in the country.“
