Weekend jumpoff

I am headed out on vacation this weekend, but not before dishing out some useful links.

-In honor of Texas' 30-run fiesta, the greatest beatdowns of all-time.
-The Red Sox are apparently America's team now. Peter Abraham of The Journal News digs a little deeper.
-An interesting fantasy football guide worth reading (especially if you have a draft this weekend, like i do).
-Jerome Bettis comes clean.
-Best high school quarterback coach ever?
-It's a boy!
-Speaking of beatdowns, Venezuela got one last night.
-Don't talk about moving if you're an NBA owner.
-The FedEx cup gets underway, sans Tiger.

Finally, here are five albums that you should check out before the sun sets on summer:
-Rooney - Calling the World: Mix the Beach Boys, late 70s/early 80s classic rock, and modern pop rock, and this is what you get.
-The Cat Empire - Two Shoes: This Australian group mixes ska, funk, latin music, and many other influences.
-Ted Leo & the Pharmacists - Shake the Sheets: Green Day meets indie rock.

-Stars - Set Yourself on Fire: Another melodic indie effort.
-Entourage: There's something for everyone here. My personal favorite is 'Wanna Know' by Obie Trice.

Have a nice weekend. See you on the other side.
