ESPN Page 2 article on the Raider Nation
Here's an excerpt. Rich Moore, a Bay Area tax attorney, showed us his "Stadium Pal." Before I met Rich, I thought a "Stadium Pal" was a friend you brought to a game. Silly me. When Rich pulled up his sweatpants and showed us the bag of urine that was taped to his leg so he wouldn't have to get up in the middle of the game to pee, I was sorry I asked. Before he could drop his pants and illustrate the "Stadium Pal" concept further, our friend Annie wisely offered us a beer. Hit the link for the full article, including a picture of Dick Moore showing off his pal. The best part about this is that I know this guy fairly well. I've been drinking with him maybe a dozen times. Now I know why he never gets up to pee. David Sedaris has also written about the Stadium Pal: http://www.esquire.com/humor/sedaris/articles/020301_mds_tie_3.html

Rush just resigned from ESPN as a football commentator because of comments about Donovan McNabb. In essence, he said McNabb is not as good a quarterback as his backup, Coy Detmer. He said that people support McNabb because he is black and that the NFL wants black players to succeed at skill positions. Three days after his comments he resigned with this apology.
"All this has become the tempest that it is because I must have been right about something," Limbaugh said. "If I wasn't right, there wouldn't be this cacophony of outrage that has sprung up in the sports writer community." In general, Detmer only plays when McNabb is hurt, or at the end of games when there is a blow out. McNabb is better than Detmer statistically in just about every way. Here are their main career stats. McNabb Detmer completion % 56.4 52 yards per pass 5.9 5.8 yards per run 6.9 1.8 TD passes vs. interceptions 71/41 10/9 QB rating (an integrated stat) 78 68 Maybe the Fox Sports network is hiring.
