'Sports Soup' ingredients: clips and commentary with bite

* Speaking of college football and things I don't understand, why was it during Saturday's Penn State-Purdue game that ESPN announcers Dave Pasch and Andre Ware spent about five minutes of playing time at the start of the second half almost totally occupied talking about Nittany Lions coach Joe Paterno and his counterpart, Joe Tiller? Pasch and Ware discussed how long Paterno should be allowed to stay at Penn State, Tiller's love of fishing and various other coach-centric topics. I guess the game was too boring to talk about.

* Appearing on Showtime's Inside the NFL, Warren Sapp said he wasn't impressed by the performance of the Tennessee Titans' Albert Haynesworth against the Ravens - while adding a bit of a diss to a Ravens lineman. "This week, I went inside the film," Sapp said, according to highlights from the network, "because when you tell me you have the best defensive player in the game right now, you have to jump off that screen. ... When you talk about the best player in the game being dumped on his head by a guy named Ben Grubbs, are you kidding me?"
