Baseball News: Todd Radon writes that the Shot Heard Round The World didn”šÃ„ôt just cost the Dodgers the pennant, it may have postponed a now ubiquitous uni innovation: tv numbers. … Interesting slide show of baseball signs in the New York Times yesterday. Some interesting spellings, too.

NFL News: “Only 8.01% of money spent on pink NFL merchandise is actually going towards cancer research,” writes Cork Gaines in an article for Business Insider. ”šÃ„ ¶ Herman Moore and the Detroit Lions are part of a new (and maybe more thoughtful) cancer research fundraising campaign. Moore had a large patch on the jersey he wore for the press conference that, according to The Detroit News, will also appear on the Lions’ practice jerseys. It was too blurry to make out in the clip though. Help, anyone? (video from Rob Siergiej). ”šÃ„ ¶ Jason Tierney pointed out a very cool Broncos ski mask up on ebay. ”šÃ„ ¶ Seems like NFL Primetime forgot to use the Jaguars’ new logo in a recent broadcast (thanks Nathan Anderson). ”šÃ„ ¶ Speaking of the Jags, they’ll be using their teal uniforms this sunday, while the Titans will wear navy jerseys with white pants for the first time in five years.

Look for a full release with all the bells and whistles in the future. ”šÃ„ ¶ Ed Macualey wore number 20 when he played for the St. Louis Hawks, so why is he wearing number 9 in this photo? (from Roman). ”šÃ„ ¶ Most people probably like NBA 2K14’s attention to detail, but it has been less than kind when it comes to a certain star’s hairline. Don’t let them bring you down, Lebron! (from David G. Firestone). ”šÃ„ ¶ The Charlotte Bobcats wore camouflage in “honor” of columbus day on Monday. Winning the prize for understatement of the week, Robert Silverman says, “I don’t think the Bobcats realize the full implications of this game of dress-up.”
