The Big East owes its barely-beating heart to, of all things, the survival of the Big 12. Dan Beebe’s television money and back-room machinations saved more than just his own conference from extinction: In the post-apocalyptic landscape following massive realignment, weaker conferences would be sold off for spare parts, likelier than not. So forgive Big East commish John Marinatto for getting a bit fluttery in his rush to express his thanks: Marinatto showed his appreciation with a small gesture. His office sent 10 red and 10 white roses to Beebe and the Big 12 conference with a card that simply read “Unity.” Somebody’s got daughters of Twilight age! (Wanting to remain topical, Big Ten honcho Jim Delany immediately dispatched a bevy of strippers dressed as leprechauns to Notre Dame, while USC AD Mike Garrett arranged for the delivery of a magnificent bouquet of live, angry bees to the home of Reggie Bush.)

On the June 7 episode of The Bachelorette, Ali Fedotowsky suitor Justin Rego famously limped, supposedly, to her mansion wearing a cast on his left foot. Or was it his right foot? That depends on what clip you watch! Hobbled wrestler Justin “Rated R” Rego was trekking up a hill one moment, then emerges in Ali’s talking-head moments later with it on the other foot. Hey, at least they didn’t show the cab dropping him off. Rated R Limps on Both Legs Pressed on this by Ryan Seacrest after some viewers noticed after the episode in question , host-pimp Chris Harrison admitted that it was staged … sort of.

Pebble Beach has been formidable on this first day of the 2010 U.S. Open. After hard greens throughout practice rounds during week inspired predictions of high scores, that has more or less come to pass on Thursday. Little-known journeyman Steven Wheatcroft currently leads the way at 2-under through seven holes, with a bogey-free round thus far. K.J. Choi and Steve Stricker headline a group of eight golfers a shot back at 1-under, including Mike Weir, Ian Poulter, Rafael Cabrera-Bello, Paul Casey, Dustin Johnson and Davis Love III (with Choi, Weir, Poulter and Cabrera-Bello having completed their rounds and the rest mostly three holes in). Phil Mickelson finished at a disappointing 4-over on the day, in a round bereft of any birdies. His playing partners, Padraig Harrington and Y.E. Yang both shot 2-over, as all three former major champs struggled. In other news, noted golf enthusiast Tiger Woods has started his day with a pair of pars after teeing off at 4:30PM EDT.
