After appearing on ESPN's First Take this morning, UConn Huskies head football coach Randy Edsall made a few stops before heading to the ESPN Radio part of ESPN's campus to appear on The Herd With Colin Cowherd.

Here's the audio of Edsall's interview with Cowherd for you to enjoy:

As we learned on Monday, UConn Huskies head football coach Randy Edsall would be all over the ESPN campus in Bristol today.

First up today was his appearance on ESPN's First Take.

Here's the video for you to enjoy:

Thank you for stopping and by making SOX & Dawgs your home for UConn Huskies news.

The Lowell Spinners have always been good with the giveaways for their games. Trust me I know,  I worked for their ownership group at one point in my minor league baseball working career.

They don't need to do the promotions to get fannies in the seats. They constant fill the seats at LeLacheur Stadium on a nightly basis.

So if you're tuning in for Sunday's Boston Red Sox vs Detroit Tigers games, unfortunately (or fortunately for some but not me) you won't get to see NESN's Heidi Watney on your television screen. Why's that you ask?

Well she'll busy throwing out the ceremonial first pitch at the Spinners game on Sunday afternoon in honor of her first ever bobblehead doll.

So if you're one of the lucky first 1,000 fans, you'll be the proud owner of the Heidi Watney Bobblehead Doll.

Destination Red Sox Nation is our look at how the minor league teams of the Boston Red Sox fare each night. Game story and box score links as well as links to team rosters, team stats and league standings are after the jump.

Nobody gave Boston Red Sox pitcher Tim Wakefield any potato salad at last year's Picnic in the Park so if you're going to it after Sunday's game all I ask is this.

PLEASE GIVE WAKE SOME POTATO SALAD!!!!

I wasn't around to post this until tonight but apparently NESN color analyst Jerry Remy isn't a fan of the Kiss Cam.

During Tuesday night's Boston Red Sox vs Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim game, the RemDawg and Don Orsillo were featured on the Angels Stadium Kiss Cam. DO leaned over to kiss the RemDawg but he wanted no part of it.

Former UConn Huskies guard Mel Thomas (2004-08) has decided to pursue a career in coaching as she works towards a graduate degree in business. Thomas, 24, recently joined the staff of Karl Smesko as the Director of Basketball Operations at Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) in Fort Myers FL.

After tearing her ACL in her senior season (2007-08) at UConn, Thomas missed out on the 2008 WNBA draft due to the injury. She later recovered well enough to play her first professional season in Ireland as a member of the Bausch and Lomb Waterford Wildcats of the Irish National Basketball League.

After a personally successfully season , Thomas returned home with the hope of playing in the WNBA. After being invited to training camp by the Seattle Storm last year she tore her meniscus in her knee just weeks before reporting and was unable to play once again until the fall. In October of 2009,, Thomas went off to play in Poland for Artego Bydgoszcz in the Polish league, PLKK.

This year after not being signed by a WNBA team and disappointed in her overseas experiences, Thomas has decided to try her hand at coaching and finds herself about to pursue her coaching career and her MBA (Masters of Business Administration) at FGCU starting this fall.

Recently, Sox & Dawgs asked Thomas a few questions about her new position, coaching, playing professionally and about her future. Always there will a smile and willing to answer just about anything Mel took some time from her busy schedule of studying for her GMAT’s (Graduate Management Admission Test), helping out at basketball camps and doing book signings for her book “Heart of a Husky” to answer these for us

Afternoon Red Sox Delight - 7/27 [SOX & Dawgs]

Former Oakland Raiders safety Jack Tatum died Tuesday at age 61 of a heart attack. He had battled diabetes and other illnesses for years. Tatum, who had 37 career interceptions, played 10 seasons in the NFL , nine of them with Oakland, and went to three Pro Bowls and won one Super Bowl.

But he is best remembered as the man who paralyzed New England Patriots WR Darryl Stingley in a 1978 preseason game. Stingley, who over the years would regain some limited use of his body, spent the rest of his life in a wheel chair until he died in 2007. Tatum never apologized nor ever spoke to Stingley after the incident. Stingley’s former QB Steve Grogan just couldn’t forgive the man for that.

"I have a hard time trying to find something nice to say," Grogan said about Tatum. "That bothers me because I'm not like that normally. You may talk to guys that played with him, and they might tell you he was greatest teammate in the world and everybody loved him.

"The circumstance that we were involved with, just the way he handled it, that will never come out of any of our mouths or minds."

"When something like that happens and you can't apologize for it, go out and write a book to make money and try to get famous off the incident, that's just not right," Grogan said. "I thought he handled it very poorly."

Tatum, who wrote three books called “They Call Me Assassin”; “They Still Call Me Assassin” and “Final Confessions of NFL Assassin Jack Tatum” once suggested that he and Stingley have a live televised reconciliation to promote one of his books.

It never came to be, although Stingley as late as 2003 told the Boston Globe he would welcome a visit or call from Tatum that didn’t have a commercial agenda attached to it.

"If he called me today, I'd answer," Darryl Stingley said. "If he came to my house, I'd open my door to him. All I ever wanted was for him to acknowledge me as a human being. I just wanted to hear from him if he felt sorry or not. It's not like I'm unreachable. But it's not a phone call I'll be waiting for anymore."

NFL Hall of Fame writer John Clayton wrote in his remembrance of Tatum that his behavior toward Stingley likely kept him from the Hall of Fame.
