TODAY'S HEADLINES



Arnold Harrison has a new gig - The special teams sacrificial lamb is now a Cleveland Brown. It's the second bit of horrible news he's received this week. [PFT]

The Penguins lose another player to injury. Jay McKee, who blocks shots like a hockey version of Shaq, is out two to four weeks with an infected finger. Honestly, I feel like a broken record at this point. [Empty Netters]

Sidney Crosby is carrying the Olympic torch. Captain Crosby is carrying the Olympic torch in his hometown of Halifax, Nova Scotia, around 6:30 PM tonight. How many people have carried the Cup and the Torch in the same year? [WPXI]

Kickoff time set for Pitt-Cincinnati. The virtual Big East Championship game will have a noon start on December 5, and will be televised nationally by ABC. Hopefully this one turns out better than the last big Pittsburgh vs. Cincinnati game held at Heinz Field. [KDKA]

Your Big East Conspiracy Theory of the Day: Joe Starkey wisely draws comparisons between last Friday's Cincy-WVU game and 2007's Backyard Brawl on the topic of very shaky officiating. Translation: be prepared for some obviously slanted calls in Cincinnati's favor on December 5. [Trib]
