Lee Corso’s Head

Lee Corso’s Head -  Police in Corvallis, Oregon are trying to find the thief who stole Lee Corso’s head from the Gameday set Saturday. (It’s the same head that was featured in this commercial.) Yes, this is actually a police matter. The head was reportedly lifted around 3:20 pm Saturday after Oregon defeated Oregon State, 37-20. ESPN’s Erin Andrews is taking the news hard. She put out an APB for the head last night, and then got kind of huffy on twitter about it. This photo, presumably of the thief wearing the head, surfaced on message board. Does this mean an Oregon fan stole it? Or did an OSU fan swipe the head, and then put on an Oregon sweatshirt to throw everyone off the scent?

Cliff Lee to Yankees possibility picking up steam

Cliff Lee is scheduled to pitch against the New York Yankees tonight. He could end up pitching for them.
The New York Post is reporting that the Yankees, who are in Seattle this weekend, are close to a deal with the Mariners in which minor league catcher Jesus Montero would be the key piece in return.
Lee, who can be a free agent after this season, is 8-3 with 2.34 earned run average and headed to Tuesday's All-Star Game in Anaheim, Calif. The most remarkable part of Lee's performance this year is his 89 strikeouts and six walks in 103 2/3 innings.
Montero, at Class AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (Pa.), is a 20-year-old with a overall .309 batting average in 3 1/2 minor league seasons. Yankees coaches this spring said this spring that Montero is ready to hit in the major leagues but his catching skills need more work.
