9:00 PM Jim Haslett, coach of the UFL runner-up Florida Tuskers, admits he's been contacted about an NFL job. Meanwhile, Jim Fassel, coach of the UFL champion Las Vegas Locomotives, says he's happy where he's at: "I don't want to go there (to the NFL) and be miserable and lose."

8:42 PM If Mark Sanchez can wolf down a hot dog on the sidelines, then surely JaMarcus Russell can enjoy a bag of Skittles stuffed into his pants.

8:22 PM Andy Murray appears to be on the market again, as the British tennis star has reportedly broken up with Kim Sears, his girlfriend of the past four years.

8:03 PM The Daily Mail reports that Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards, who made a name for himself at the 1988 Calgary Olympics as one of the world's worst ski jumpers, has been invited to carry the torch through Winnipeg on it's way to the Vancouver Games.
