innesota Twins centerfielder Torii Huntertells Fox Sports Net heperforms a ritual after

each bad defensive play: “I put myglove in the microwave for punish-ment. It’s not me that didn't catchthe ball, it's the glove.” We suspectTerrell Owens would adopt a similarapproach, if only his quarterbackcould fit in a microwave.

On ESPN’s “Pardon the Interrup-tion,” Michael Wilbon assessed col-league Tony Kornheiser’s debut on“Monday Night Football.” “Youwere all right,” he said. “I give youa solid C-plus.”Said Kornheiser,“C-plus? Hey, youtry broadcasting agame with (Joe)Theismann’s handon your thigh.”

Joe Buck, thenew host of “FoxNFL Sunday,” wasasked what hethought of colleague Terry Brad-shaw's recent nude scene in themovie “Failure to Launch.” “Nowthat we’re working together,” Bucksaid, “that was one of the best piecesof cinematic work ever.”

What the ‘H’ stands for: TheDetroit Lions, owned by WilliamClay Ford, are switching MarcusPollard to H-back. “That’s a posi-tion where Pollard will be playinga little of this and a little of that, asin fullback, receiver and tightend,” said Steve Schrader of theDetroit Free Press. “It’s all part ofFord’s commitment to developingmore hybrids.”

David Beckham was left off Eng-land’s roster for a friendly againstGreece. The headline in the Times ofLondon: “End It Like Beckham.”

The coaches felt Beckham had losta step. “In a touching show of sup-port,” Reggie Hayes of the FortWayne (Ind.) News-Sentinel said,“his wife has changed her name toOld Spice.”

light heavyweight champion Chuck “The Ice-man” Liddell takes to the Octagonto defend his crown against Brazil’sRenato “Babalu” Sobral as the mainevent for UFC 62 from the Man-dalay Bay Events Center in LasVegas, Aug. 26.

One of the game’s true superstars,Liddell has defended the crown hewon from Randy Couture in April of2005 twice, most recently with asecond-round knockout of Couture

in their February rubber match.Sidelined since then due

to a toe injury, Liddellknows that a victory Saturday

will set-up many more bigfights in the future.

But Sobral is no one’sstepping stone, as evi-

denced by his 10-fight winning streak since thefirst bout between the two — won by Liddell in

November of 2002.In that almost four-year period,Sobral has truly fought his way tothe No. 1 contender’s slot, submit-ting Travis Wiuff, Chael Sonnen andMike Van Arsdale in his last threeUFC bouts, and even beating world-class combatants Jeremy Horn,Mauricio “Shogun” Rua and TrevorPrangley in a single night in 2003.

Also scheduled on the undercardfor UFC 62 is the high-anticipatedrematch between Stephan “The Amer-ican Psycho” Bonnar and Forrest Grif-

fin, the two light heavyweights whofought at The Ultimate FighterSeason 1 finale.
