I hope this isn't Toronto's "new" logo

This could be the logo for the 2012 Blue Jays... I don't like it. Jose Bautista and Toronto won't look good in baby blue because this logo is so much like their old school 90s logo.
The angrier looking bird in their current logo is perfect for Toronto: they're a power hitting team and not a baby blue, soft team. If they change the logo back to the original form, they should've never changed it in the first place.

Blaine Gabbert named Jacksonville starter

Rookie QB Blaine Gabbert was named the starter for the Jacksonville Jaguars on Wednesday due to the poor performance by QB Luke McCown against the New York Jets. McCown threw four INT, sparking the decision of coach Jack Del Rio to put the 10th overall pick from Missouri at QB. Jacksonville will take on Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers those Sunday in Charlotte. It will be interesting to see if Gabbert performs well in his first start and if Newton can continue his arial assault on NFl defenses.

The Pac 12 won't expand any further

The Pac 12 decided that twelve teams was enough for one conference as they announced they would not expand any further on Tuesday night. Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State were all interested in leaving the Big 12 and joining the Pac 12, however the Big 12 can still keep it's four major schools for now. It would be a shame to see the Big 12 crumble further and the four teams join the Big 10 or the SEC to create a dominant conference instead of what could've been a done deal in the west. I think that there will eventually be four super-conferences and instead of a National Championship bowl, there will be a Final Four playoff system for all the conference winners... Food for thought.

Kennedy shuts down Pirates, earns 20th win

Ian Kennedy allowed one hit against the Pittsburgh Pirates over 8 innings as Arizona beat the Bucs, 1-0. The three most valuable players for the Diamondbacks played well tonight: Kennedy got win #20, Upton hit his 31st homer of the year (the only run of the game), and closer JJ Putz notched his 42nd save of the season. The magic number is now at 4 with 8 games remaining.

New York Giants top St. Louis, 28-16

After an undefeated preseason, the St. Louis Rams had two weeks in a row to prove Sam Bradford had playoff hopes in the gateway city. So far, they don't look like legitimate NFC contenders as they dropped to the Giants in the Meadowlands, 28-16. Coach Steve Spagnuolo, the former defensive coordinator for New York, could never get the ball moving efficiently against his former team. The run game was non-existent, partly due to the absence of All-pro RB Stephen Jackson, who left in week 1 against the Eagles due to a strained quadricep. Jackson should return as soon as possible, because St.Louis plays Baltimore, the upstart Redskins, at Green Bay, at Dallas, New Orleans, and at Arizona; all important games for St. Louis' playoff bid this season. On the other hand, Eli Manning was his old self: passing the ball for a meager 200 yards, throwing 2 TDs, and tossing a pick just to ruin his QB rating. The G-men managed to move the ball on St. Louis relatively well. They also had better defense than last week, which gives head coach Tom Coughlin some breathing room with the New York media and fan base for the rest of the week till they play at Philadelphia.

Altlanta tops Philly, 35-31. Vick leaves early with a neck injury and concussion

It wasn't pretty, but Matty Ice proved he was the man in Atlanta tonight. Ryan passed for 4 TDs including two to Tony Gonzalez. Atlanta scored 14 points in the final quarter as Michael Turner ran for the go-ahead touchdown with 4:48 to go. Second year back-up QB Mike Kafca led Philadelphia to the Redzone with 1:45 to go, but Jeremy Maclin dropped the 4th down conversion. Atlanta moves to 1-1 in a wild game at the Georgia Dome as Falcon fans left happy after seeing their old QB in Michael Vick and their new QB in Matt Ryan.

Pitt and Syracuse added to ACC

The Big East has boasted basketball supremacy for the past few seasons. The ACC can know officially join the conversation as they added Pitt and Syracuse to a list of solid basketball programs. UCONN and Kansas have also showed interest in the conference, which could potentially become a super conference with 16 teams. As it is now, the ACC will have North Carolina, Duke, Wake Forest, Clemson, Florida State, Syracuse, and Pitt; all teams participated in the NCAA tournament last year.
