Looking Back To Monday September 21
OVERNIGHT STORIES
---MANNING, COLTS STEAL THE DOLPHINS' SHOW: While the Miami Dolphins'
celebrities were making a Hollywood-style grand entrance, Peyton Manning slipped in a side
door. Manning threw two touchdown passes to take some sheen off the Dolphins' glitzy
makeover under new owner Stephen Ross, and the Indianapolis Colts came from behind
four times to win 27-23 Monday night. The Dolphins rolled out an orange carpet for the
pregame arrival of Ross' celebrity partners. The crowd included Serena and Venus Williams,
Gloria and Emilio Estefan, Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez, Jimmy Buffett and Colts
rooter Tiger Woods. But Manning stole the show with touchdown passes of 80 yards to
Dallas Clark and 48 yards to Pierre Garcon. The first came score on the first play from
scrimmage, the latter with 3:18 left for the game's final points.
--NFL, NFLPA REINFORCE DRUG POLICY (Credit Chris Mortensen): After months of
early growing pains in their new relationship, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and NFL
Players Association Executive Director DeMaurice Smith sent a joint memo Monday to
some 1,700 players to reinforce the league's collective bargained policy on anabolic steroids
and related substances. In a copy of the memo obtained by ESPN, Goodell and Smith
referred to the controversy and subsequent rulings regarding a banned substances contained
in a supplement called "StarCaps." Goodell last week ruled that Saints defensive ends
Charles Grant and Will Smith can continue playing because of a court ruling that keeps
prevents the league from suspending Vikings defensive tackles Kevin and Pat Williams for
testing positive for the same supplement. The court case remains active without final
resolution.
---ROYALS COME BACK TO TOPPLE RED SOX: Mike Jacobs hit a three-run homer
and Alberto Callaspo's two-run double keyed Kansas City's biggest inning in almost a year,
rallying the Royals past the Boston Red Sox 12-9 on Monday night. After falling behind 6-0
in the third and 8-2 in the fifth, the Royals seized an 11-9 lead with six runs in the sixth, the
most they've scored in one inning since Sept. 24, 2008. Billy Butler had an RBI double off
Manny Delcarmen and then Callaspo hit a two-run double. Yuniesky Betancourt finished it
off with a two-run single off Daniel Bard (2-2).
Butler had another RBI double in the seventh, giving him 49 doubles this season.
---SAUNDERS, ANGELS KEEP YANKEES AT BAY: Joe Saunders pitched into the
ninth inning and the Los Angeles Angels prevented the Yankees from wrapping up a playoff
spot, beating New York 5-2 on Tuesday night in a matchup of division leaders. Vladimir
Guerrero and Torii Hunter hit consecutive RBI doubles off Yankees starter Andy Pettitte,
and Kendry Morales added a pinch-hit homer. The Angels earned their 90th victory for the
seventh time in nine seasons and reduced their magic number to six for clinching their third
consecutive AL West title. The Yankees, who have dropped six of 10, could have secured a
postseason spot with a win or a Texas loss at Oakland. The Rangers beat the Athletics 10-3.
---TWINS PICK UP MORE GROUND ON TIGERS: Nick Blackburn pitched seven
innings and Orlando Cabrera led the offense Monday night as the Minnesota Twins
continued their late surge with a 7-0 victory over the Chicago White Sox. The Twins, who
have won five of six, moved within 2½ games of first-place Detroit, which was idle, in the
AL Central. The fading White Sox lost for the fifth time in six games and are seven back.
Blackburn (11-11) allowed eight singles with no walks and six strikeouts to earn his first road
win since May 31 against Tampa Bay. He is 4-1 this season against Chicago.
---GIANTS PROSPECT CHARGED WITH MURDER: A top prospect for the San
Francisco Giants has been charged with murder in the death of a 25-year-old man last
weekend at a bar in his Caribbean homeland. Angel Villalona, who was signed by the Giants
in 2006 and received a club-record $2.1 million bonus, wore a bulletproof vest Monday to
his hearing at a court in the city of La Romana. He pleaded innocent to the murder charge.

---TAURASI LEADS MERCURY INTO WNBA WESTERN FINALS: Diana Taurasi
scored 30 points and keyed a tiebreaking run in the fourth quarter to help the Phoenix
Mercury advance to the Western Conference finals with a 100-92 victory over the San
Antonio Silver Stars in Game 3 of their opening round series Monday night. Taurasi and
Tangela Smith each scored five points during the Mercurys 14-4 run that gave Phoenix an
86-76 lead with 5:14 remaining. Taurasi also finished with six assists. The top-seeded
Mercury will open the West finals against the Los Angeles Sparks at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion
on Wednesday night. Becky Hammon led the Silver Stars with 29 points while Vickie
Johnson added 24 points, including four 3-pointers, and six rebounds.
--KIFFIN TAKES SHOT AT MEYER: Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin says he put his
Volunteers in the best position they could be in to beat Florida. Then he took one more shot
at Gators coach Urban Meyer.
Meyer said Sunday that he kept his game plan conservative in No. 1 Florida's 23-13 win after
he felt the Vols didn't appear to be playing for a win. He also said several of his players had
been hit by the flu. Kiffin said Monday that he didn't want to respond to Meyer's comment.
But when asked whether he was worried about the flu hitting Tennessee, Kiffin had this to
say: "I don't know. I guess we'll wait and after we're not excited about a performance, we'll
tell you everybody was sick." Also says, in reference to Meyer comments on Tennessee not
playing to win the game, "This offseason the commissioner made a big deal of renewing
vows in terms of what we say about other teams, other coaches and other players" Kiffin
said. "Obviously Urban feels he doesn't need to follow that. We won't say anything else."

--49ERS ACCUSE JETS OF TAMPERING WITH MICHAEL CRABTREE: The 49ers
have filed tampering charges against the New York Jets regarding top San Francisco draft
pick Michael Crabtree, Jets coach Rex Ryan confirmed Monday. "My understanding is they
filed charges with the league," Ryan said. "I'm saying my response is it's not true. I mean, it's
not accurate. It's not true, but, hey, we'll let the league figure this out." When asked Monday
if his team filed charges, 49ers coach Mike Singletary said it's a situation "the league is going
to handle internally." "I'm not going to get into that. We'll let that play out, the process,"
Singletary said. "I'm not even going to go there. We'll let the league handle that and go from
there."
--ASTROS FIRE CECIL COOPER: The Astros have fired manager Cecil Cooper. The
Astros are 70-79 and have lost seven straight. Third-base coach Dave Clark will take over as
interim manager for the final 13 games this season. GM Ed Wade said a change was needed.
He said making the move now will give the Astros a chance to evaluate "other facets of our
operation" heading into the offseason. He said Clark would be considered a candidate.
--CHAPMAN STARTS PATH TO FREE AGENCY: Aroldis Chapman - the Cuban
defector considered to be one of the top pitching prospects in the world - petitioned Major
League Baseball for his free agency on Thursday and is likely only weeks from becoming a
free agent, according to his agent. Early today, Chapman's representatives announced that
the pitcher has established residency in Andorra - a tiny country of about 84,000 people that
borders Spain and France. By establishing residency outside of the United States, Chapman
avoids being subject to the amateur draft. MLB must investigate Chapman's residency and
legal paperwork before they declare him a free agent. The Yankees have already shown
interest in the Cuban lefty, whose fastball was clocked at 102 mph at the World Baseball
Classic this year. Chapman defected from the Cuban national team in August during a
tournament in Rotterdam, the Netherlands and has been living in Barcelona, Spain.

--SEAHAWKS QB MATT HASSELBECK HAS FRACTURED RIB: Medical tests
determined that Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck has a fractured rib. It's too early to
tell whether the injury will sideline Hasselbeck for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears,
but the Seahawks are encouraged that the injury was not more severe. Doctors tested for
lung, liver and kidney damage and did not find any. But they did find a fractured rib, making
Hasselbeck the second quarterback in two weeks to fracture a rib, Donovan McNabb doing
the same a week earlier.
--McNABB SAYS HE'S STILL IN PAIN, UNSURE ABOUT SUNDAY (credit Sal
Paolantonio for quotes) : Donovan McNabb told ESPN's Sal Paolantonio on Monday that
he is still in pain and was not sure whether he will be back for the Eagles game against the
Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. "There is still pain," McNabb told
Paolantonio."With these rib injuries, I don't know. It's Monday. We'll see how it goes." Andy
Reid said Monday that back-up quarterback Kevin Kolb will take all the first team
quarterback snaps in practice on Wednesday. Kolb will start if McNabb cannot play, Reid
said.
--COWBOYS' BARBER HAS QUAD INJURY: Cowboys RB Marion Barber has a
quadriceps injury, the extent of which is unknown. Barber gingerly walked off the field after
35-yard run in the fourth quarter of the Cowboys' 33-31 loss to the Giants. Coach Wade
Phillips says Barber had an MRI on Monday. He says the Cowboys will have to wait to "see
where we are" on Barber. NOTE: We have Phillips SOT.
--JAGS LOSE WR WIILIAMSON, CUT WR HUGHES:Jaguars WR Troy Williamson will

--FAVRE INJURY IS ONLY BENT FINGERNAIL: Brett Favre has a bent fingernail.
Favre's throwing hand was clearly hurting after his last throw for Minnesota in Sunday's win
over Detroit. He was hit by two defenders in the fourth quarter during a TD pass to Percy
Harvin. Favre got up and grimaced, glancing down at his hand and shaking it a few times
before heading to the sideline. He didn't return with the Vikings up 27-10. Coach Brad
Childress said Monday Favre is fine.

--BRANDON JACOBS SAYS COWBOYS WERE CHIPPY ON POSTGAME: Giants RB
Brandon Jacobs said he got shoved in the back by Cowboys OT Marc Colombo during the
celebration at the end of the game while he was on his way to shake hands with a few Dallas
players. "I'd better not see him anywhere," Jacobs said. Asked if he's promising vengeance,
he replied, "I just want to let him know that was a very disrespectful thing to do to
somebody."

Cowboys at the opening of Dallas' new stadium drew the highest preliminary television
ratings for a prime-time game in 11 years. New York's 33-31 victory Sunday on NBC earned
a 16.5 overnight rating and 27 share. The network said Monday that's the best overnight
rating for a prime-time matchup since a 17.4/27 for Broncos-Dolphins on Dec. 21, 1998.
--BRADY: WE HAVEN'T PLAYED VERY WELL: On his weekly apperance on WEEI,
Tom Brady said: "The Jets, they're a good team. They played well two weeks in-a-row.
They're leading the division right now and we're sitting there at 1-and-1 and the reality is we
haven't played very well the last couple weeks and I'm more concerned about our problems
and finding solutions to our problems really than anything else going on." ... "We controlled
the first half we just didn't get the ball in the red zone - the end zone when we had the
opportunity. At halftime it's 9-to-3, I mean we get the ball into the end zone and it's a
significantly different game and that's a couple week in a row we're unable to get the ball into
the end zone. You know, that's an issue we're dealing with and something we gotta correct."
... There were times where we didn't communicate like we should've. From a quarterback
standpoint and receiver standpoint getting on the same page. That is something we gotta
learn from. We're all learning each other. We're learning how to adjust things on the field."

Sunday."

Detroit by three games in the AL Central with 13 left. If the Twins and Tigers finish tied for
first place, the Twins will host a tiebreaker game if they beat Detroit in the season series.
Major League Baseball prefers to play tiebreaker games on the Monday right after the regular
