SportsCenter Rundown : BROKEN SAINT (September 21)

SAINT KNICKED After a Frank Gore touchdown was not (overruled) capped by a Vernon Davis two-point conversion, the 49ers found themselves deadlocked at 22 with the reigning champs and 1:19 left on the clock. But that was all the time Drew Brees needed. Literally. He drove the Saints 51 yards to the Frisco 19, where Garrett Hartley wobbled in the game-winning 37-yard field goal with no time left on the clock. Their celebration would likely have been more celebratory if not for the fact that with 6:58 left on the clock, Reggie Bush was helped off of the field, and into the locker room on a cart. According to Adam Schefter, the Saints believe that Bush has a fractured fibula. And Bush said after the game that he'll get X-rays when he returns to the Big Easy. Recap | SportsCenter Highlight of the Night | Reggie on Crutches KENNY McKINLEY, 1987-2010 23-year old Broncos wide receiver Kenny McKinley was found dead yesterday at his home in an apparent suicide. Denver selected him in the fifth round of the 2009 Draft after he left South Carolina as one of the Gamecocks all-time great receivers. He holds the school's record for most receptions all-time (207), most receiving yards all-time (2,781), most receptions in a season (77), and consecutive games with a reception (43), and is tied for second for most receiving touchdowns all-time (19). He flourished in the offense of Steve Spurrier, who said, "It's hard to comprehend. Kenny was certainly one of my favorite all-time players. He was a wonderful guy. It's hard to figure out why this happened. It's a sad day." Read More | Williamson: Denver Dealing with Death Again WHO'S THE BOSS? The Yankees unveiled their new memorial to George Steinbrenner last night at the new Stadium. It's out there in Monument Park, and it's part monument, part plaque, and all huge. 35 square feet of huge, looming large behind Mickey Mantle's 6 square foot monument. The same Mickey Mantle who scored 1,677 runs in his Yankees career. Only two Yankees ever scored more. We called them Lou Gehrig (1,888) and Babe Ruth (1,959). At least until Derek Jeter scores his next run. Because the two he scored last night tied the Mick on the all-time list, and helped the Yanks to a two-run win and a 1.5-game lead in the East. Bronzed Boss | Rays-Yankees | Highlight UNTASED A fan dressed in some red spandex ran out onto the field in Philly last night. That's always dangerous to do there, even if you look like the Flash, because they might just tase you, bro. But they didn't, and because he didn't run like the Flash, Atlanta's Matt Diaz tripped him up in the outfield. "I saw this idiot coming right at me," Diaz said. "I figured he'd be better off getting tripped than Tased. I wanted to spear him so bad, but I didn't want to hurt him or get hurt." In the end, it was the Braves who got speared. The 3-1 loss dropped them four games back in the East. (At least they're still up two in the Wild Card.) Out of Left Field | Mets-Phillies | Highlight   2 Minnesota's magic number to clinch the Central stands at 2. Which means the beginning of the end could come tonight, with a Twins win over the Indians (8:10 ET) AND a White Sox loss to the A's (10:05 ET). But they'll be holding their breath even before then, since Joe Mauer seems to be scheduled for an MRI today on the knee he injured on Sunday. Indians-Twins Preview | White Sox-A's Preview | MRI Likely Joe Mauer 4 Joey Votto and Scott Rolen hit back-to-back home runs in the eighth inning of the Reds' 5-2 win over the Brewers. It's the 4th time those two have hit consecutive 4-baggers this season - the highest total for any pair of big-league teammates this year. And it's the most for a pair of Reds teammates since 1970, when Johnny Bench and Lee May did it five times. Recap | Highlight 440 In order to properly prepare for Oregon State's visit to the blue turf at Boise State this weekend, Beavers head coach Mike Riley had his own practice turf painted blue. It seems to have taken 180 gallons of paint, which seems to have been diluted to 440 gallons and applied in two coats - one white, and the other blue.

The Giants find themselves in a playoff race with the Rockies. And they'll find themselves in Colorado this weekend, where Pat Courtney, baseball's senior vice president of public relations, says they shouldn't be concerned about the baseballs they'll be playing with. Read More "I don't think he should be able to do that. I'm still fired up about it." Browns center Alex Mack doesn't think Chiefs lineman Shaun Smith should have been able to, well, inappropriately grab him during Sunday's game. Which is probably exactly what Paul Gascoigne thought about Vinnie Jones back in 1987.
