Every Monday (or in the case of national holidays, Tuesday), the MLB Weekly Rewind takes a look at the past week in baseball in video form. It's biased, rambling, and mostly cynical, but ... Hey! Moving pictures! Sweet!

Serena Williams Wins U.S. Open
Posted Sep 7th 2008 11:25PM by Michael David Smith
Filed under: Tennis
Serena Williams defeated Jelena Jankovic, 6-4, 7-5, to win the U.S. Open singles title tonight, the third U.S. Open title of her career.
It was the ninth grand slam title overall for Williams, who entered the tournament as the fourth seed. Williams had a tremendous tournament and didn't even drop a set, and the combination of her victory and Ana Ivanovic's early upset loss makes Williams the new No. 1 player in the world.
The 23-year-old Jankovic, the second seed, was playing in her first grand slam final, and she appears to be a rising star in women's tennis. But Williams is on top of the tennis world.
U.S. Open: Andy Murray Upsets Rafael Nadal
Posted Sep 7th 2008 6:47PM by Michael David Smith
Filed under: Tennis
Rafael Nadal has won the French Open, Wimbledon and the Olympic gold medal this year, and in the process he looked absolutely unbeatable.
At least, he looked unbeatable until today at the U.S. Open, when someone beat him.
That someone was Britain's Andy Murray, who made his first Grand Slam final by beating Nadal 6-2, 7-6, 4-6, 6-4, starting the upset yesterday and then finishing Nadal off today after the rain finally stopped. By beating Nadal, Murray pulled off the year's biggest upset in men's tennis.
Tomorrow Murray will face Roger Federer, who suddenly isn't looking quite as washed up as everyone was saying he was, in the final. That they're still playing tennis and Nadal isn't part of it is a shock.
ESPN Treads New Advertising Ground With AstroTurf Billboards
Posted Sep 7th 2008 2:25PM by Randy Kim
Filed under: Sports Advertising
Leave it to a broadcasting monolith to render paper irrelevant. As seen in New York City's East Village (click here for a full-sized version), ESPN is now promoting Monday Night Football by using AstroTurf instead of paper in its billboards.
The ads are actually extremely innovative and cool, but given this is the East Village, one has to wonder how long it'll remain so pristine. Or how long it'll be before it's tagged with a "DIE YUPPIE SCUM" or anti-Bush/pro-Obama stencil.
No word on whether these are popping up in other 'hoods. Leave a comment if you've seen one in your locale. Danke.
Throwing a Fake Penis at People Is Apparently Acceptable in Australia
Posted Sep 5th 2008 3:01PM by Shane Bacon
Filed under: Rugby
When you're famous, anything goes, and that includes hitting females with a fake penis while moseying around the business district in Melbourne.Australian Football Player Brendon Fevola, obviously wired with a different style of humor than me and my friends, was just walking around Fed Square in Melbourne, Australia on Monday wearing pink lingerie and a sex toy strapped around his waist. You know, for the fans.
Ah yes, in years to come, when robots take over the planet Earth and we are all subjected to slavery, the conversations will turn to the good old days when we could just roam the streets hitting girls with dildos. These acts will never die in our hearts.
Lucky for everyone still reading this story, there is actually a short video of the event someone captured on their cell phone. This is the first time I've ever been excited cell phones have the video feature. It is after the jump, and be warned, it is NSFW (or Thanksgiving dinner).
Tennis Fights Are The Best! Djokovic Slams Roddick On and Off the Court

Filed under: Tennis
Last night's U.S. Open quarterfinal match between two of the better professional tennis players was one-sided nearly the entire time. And then after the match ended, the victor decided to continue his assault on his opponent.
Third-ranked Novak Djokovic defeated the last American standing, Andy Roddick, despite Djokovic suffering from a few choice injuries. Or 16. You know, depending on who you talk to.
Roddick was asked on Tuesday about Djokovic's injuries and had some sarcastic, mocking comments towards the Serbian's ailments that included "a back, a hip, a cramp, Bird flu, Anthrax, SARS, the common cough and a cold." After the fourth set giveaway by Roddick last night, Djokovic pounded his chest and pointed to his shoulders (?) and then had this to say to USA Network reporter Michael Barkann. Via the always great Awful Announcing ...

National Food-ball League: Pigskin Recipes for All 32 Teams
Posted Sep 4th 2008 6:13PM by Hamilton Waldron
Filed under: Sports Media
Nothing goes together like Sundays, football and food. So, inspired by the very essence of a pigskin itself, Food & Wine has come up with a recipe for every NFL team that is based on... yup, you guessed it. Pork. Some of the 32 recipes are pretty straightforward in their representations of the NFL's teams. For instance, it only makes sense that the recipe for the Washington Redskins would be a lavishly prepared roasted pig (long live the Hogs). And Patriots fans can enjoy a creamy New England clam chowder that has corn and bacon in it.
But it turns out that one Texas team doesn't need Food & Wine's help. Thanks to quarterback Vince Young's recent business venture, Texans fans can just snatch up a pack of Vince's, uh, sausages and feast like a playoff berth depended on it. (H/T: Deadspin)
Seriously though, if you're looking to step your food game up this NFL season, this is definitely the place to start.
LeBron James Is King of the NBA, But Not the King of Horse

Elie Seckbach, the Embedded Correspondent, brings his exclusive video reporting to FanHouse. Check back regularly for more videos.
LeBron James is one of the greatest basketball players of all time. He puts fear into anyone who steps on the court with him, but in this video he may have met his match ... in the form of a factory worker from Ohio (now living in California). We caught up with LeBron in Venice Beach, Calif., where he played a game of horse with a lucky fan, who was the winner of The Cub Cadet trick shot challenge. Check out the amazing array of trick shots this underdog baller uses to beat LeBron, and then hear what LeBron has to say about falling to a non-NBA player.
