Oh, and the current Erin Andrews:

Why, she even has her own website up & running! (Which appears to have bee left idle since 2005. Maybe Dan Patrick checks this site everyday, too.)

We offer evidence of another pumped-up day in the world of sports:

• Topps shows what a bunch of cards they are by inserting Rudy Guiliani into the Red Sox’s World Series celebration:

• HBO is cancelling “Inside The NFL”, denying us the chance to see more manic Marino tantrums.

• Jeremy Shockey has better things to do than attend some silly Super Bowl parade.

• Terrelle Pryor said he wouldn’t choose his school on Wednesday, but others are trying to make the choice for him.

• Pedro Martinez & Juan Marichal do enjoy themselves a good cockfight:

• True to his word, Shaq doesn’t let Steve Nash down.

• Like the SEC gals and Big East boys, the Green Bay Packers experience their own teleconferencing fun.

• ESPN needs to hire a spellchecker for the “PTI” graphics guys.

HBO today announced that it cancelled our favorite show that people stopped watching back in the late ’80s, “Inside The NFL.” HBO Sports President Ross Greenburg: “Inside the NFL has been a hallmark program for three decades on HBO. It has been a terrific franchise. But the television landscape has changed quite a bit over the last 30 years.”

The show, which has aired for the past 31 years, had many great moments (at least that’s what Mr. Greenburg tells us). But this is our personal favorite, featuring a particularly perturbed Dan Marino.

Of course, the clip would not be of any use to us if it weren’t for the faux fear from Nick Buoniconti. Well played, Mr. Perfectville.
