Kind of puts the Tim Lincecum bust in perspective, doesn’t it? In other news, Lincecum paid around $138 for Krispy Kreme donuts, Spicy Hot Cheetos, and a case of Choco Tacos, to go with the reefer he allegedly smoked.

Insult to injury:
Victor Zambrano’s mother was kidnapped in Venezuela, which is terrible, and I hope she’s back home soon. However, the coverage strongly suggests that a Mets fan is in charge of choosing the file photos for the AP news wire. The above photo depicts Zambrano after he gave up a three-run homer, and the other available Zambrano photo shows him in the dugout, having been removed from a 10-2 loss. If a Scott Kazmir photo set mysteriously appears in conjunction with the kidnapping story, we will know for sure there’s a disgruntled photo editor in Queens.

O Captain! My Captain!: Red Sox Decline Team Option on Varitek
This doesn’t mean Varitek is going elsewhere - he’s got a $3M player option for 2010, which is about $2 million more than anyone else would pay him this offseason. Unless the Yankees signed him solely to spite Boston.

“Why not just have Brad Lidge play quarterback in the final minutes?”

The Kansas City Chiefs have told Larry Johnson, “Get your faggot ass out of here,” and given the disgruntled running back his release. LJ looks to be headed to the Washington Redskins, and I have to say, it’s a perfect fit. Dysfucntional organization? Check. Offensive Native American mascot? Check. Daniel Snyder is friends with noted homophobe Tom Cruise, so he should have no problems with Mr. Johnson.

Mangini not tipping hand on QB

In response, the Browns owner has refused to reveal whether he’s firing Mangini in Week 12, or waiting until the end of the season to can him.

Not all Harbaughs had a big weekend. Was John too busy celebrating his brother’s big upset to properly game-plan for the Bengals?

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

And here’s audio of Brian Billick saying “Jake Delhomme’s balls.” In other news, I’m 13 years old.

“We’ve said this for a couple weeks - [Jake Delhomme’s balls] seem to be a little high.” I dunno, maybe it’s the air conditioning in the Superdome that’s making things chilly for Jake.

I feel your pain, but I gave up hope for this season after Media Day.
