REALLY CRAPPY VIDEO OF BOB KNIGHT HUNTING INCIDENT: The WIZARD OF ODDS tips us to crappy video shot by the man allegedly grazed with bird shot by Bob Knight.

The DALLAS MORNING NEWS posts the barely discernible footage, which harkens “Deliverance,” an Indiana two-a-day and Paris Hilton sex tape rolled into one - as Knight is roiled by Lubbock local James Simpson, who insists that Knight is hunting to close to his house.Simpson to the Dallas media outlet: “I’m not trying to make any money off this. I told the policemen if I knew how to put it on YouTube, I would if you don’t do anything about this.”

Next up for Simpson: Filming Mark Mangino eating six tuna fish hoagies, Brady Quinn crashing a wedding, Jeff Reed at his favorite local watering hole and other oddities and curiosities.

STEELERS SLOP OUT VICTORY TO KEEP DOLPHINS WINLESS: The Steelers and Dolphins were 20 seconds away from the first scoreless NFL game in regulation since 1943. But Jeff Reed had to ruin the chance at making history, as he kicked a 24-yard field goal to give Pittsburgh a 3-0 win.

However, the muckety-muck at the muddy & slippery Heinz Field turned out to be the lowest scoring game in Monday Night Football history.The field was a mess after 4 Pennsylvania state football championship games on Friday and the Pitt Panthers hosting South Florida on Saturday. Although the ground crew put on a new layer of sod, rain all day Monday kept the turf in its quagmire state.

Stuart Scott must have had an inkling of how bad the game was going to be, since the ESPN anchor was absent from Monday Night’s proceedings. Instead, Sal Paolantonio took the chair next to Steve Young and Emmitt Smith.Who will give us our “Booyahs” now?

In the meantime, the dirty defeat keeps the ‘Fins winless, with only 5 games left in the season to salvage a victory. Will the Jets, Bills, Ravens, Patriots, or Bengals be the cure to Miami’s woes? Or will the 2007 squad be the perfect bookend to the 1972 undefeated team?
