NBA DIARY: among others, we'll be following the Dallas Mavericks this season. But it all got off to a rocky start, as the Mavs didn't shoot well or defend well, and lost at home to Washington 102-91. The Mavs got off to a slow start last year as well. They need to make sure that doesn't happen this season.
But as we said yesterday, the season has a long, long, long way to go...
NFL NEWS:
Vince Young to replace Kerry Collins as the starting quarterback in Tennessee? All I can say is: you never want the owner of the team, and not the head coach, deciding who's going to play quarterback.

POLL WATCH:
Continuing bad news for used-to-be-Republican-now-Democrat Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania:
"Specter has a 28 percent favorable rating, 46 percent unfavorable. Only 29 percent approve of the job he's doing. Only 23 precent say he deserves reelection, while 66 percent say it's time for a change."
The poll shows a hypothetical race between he and conservative Pat Toomey to be basically a toss-up right now. But those kind of favorable/unfavorables almost always spell doom for an incumbent. Arlen Specter's in big trouble.
