The Beach Boys are doing their part to help the victims of the earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan last month. Al Jardine, Brian Wilson, Mike Love and Bruce Johnston recorded a vinyl single that features version of the song "Don't Fight the Sea," which originally appears on Jardine's A Postcard From California.

The flip side is an a capella mix from the 1968 Beach Boys tune "Friends." The release is available today and all proceeds will go to the Red Cross Japan Relief.

What have you done to help the good people of Japan in their hour of need?

Brian St. Pierre, a 31 year old quarterback with five career pass attempts that was out of the NFL until two weeks ago, will start for the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.

John Fox announced the decision to a somewhat stunned Panthers press corps.

“This is not a joke,” Darin Gantt of the Rock Hill Herald wrote on Twitter. “This move is impossible to justify. Fox offered “it is what it is.” Seen a lot of crazy stuff here over the years. Nothing quite like this.

It’s a little like when the team brought back Vinny Testeverde to start, except Testaverde had a very long track record of success. St. Pierre was chosen over sixth-round rookie Tony Pike.

From an outsider’s perspective, it doesn’t seem so crazy in the context of this deeply depressing Panthers season. Jimmy Clausen is apparently out. Is Pike the quarterback of the future? No way. If St. Pierre gives the team a better chance to win against a veteran Ravens team, it’s only fair to the other 52 Panthers to play him this week.

Brian Kelly is in his first season as head coach at Notre Dame, and things aren't going all that well on or off the field.

The Fighting Irish sit at just 4-4, and questioning are already surrounding Kelly less than one year into his stint at the school.

But earlier this week, Kelly's tenure at Notre Dame worsened in an instant.

Declan Sullivan, a 20-year-old student and videographer who filmed football practice for the Irish, died from fatal injuries after falling from a video tower at the team's practice.

And Kelly is coming under serious fire for allowing Sullivan to film on that fateful day.

Winds were gusting to more than 50 miles per hour, but Kelly still made the decision to move the team's practice to the outdoor facility.

And he still made the decision to put Sullivan on that tower, and in turn, put the student's life in jeopardy.

There will almost certainly be a lawsuit against the school, but the bigger picture here is that Kelly should have known better.

Nothing in college athletics--and certainly not a silly football game or practice--is worth risking someone's life.

And that's exactly what Kelly did.

A memorial fund for the wife and unborn child of Brian Wood, the Company of Heroes designer who was killed in an auto wreck last week, has been set up and is now taking donations.

Brian R. Wood, a designer at Relic Entertainment, was killed last week when his vehicle was struck head-on by a Chevy Blazer that had gone out of control and crossed the median. His wife Erin, who is six months pregnant, reported that Wood swerved at the last second to take the brunt of the collision himself, saving her and their child.

A memorial trust fund has now been established to help Erin and her baby manage through this incredibly difficult and tragic time. "Brian was a very close friend," said Szymon Mazus of Radical Entertainment. "He was just the kindest, most down to earth person you could ever hope to meet, as is Erin. We have set up a trust fund to help Erin and the baby during this very difficult time."

Donations to the Brian Wood Memorial Trust can be made in person at any North Shore Credit Union branch in the Lower Mainland area of British Columbia, online through PayPal or via regular mail.

On top of Dick Jauron being fired, the pursuit of Mike Shanahan, the Bills can also be excited about the addition of another quarterback prospect - Brian Brohm, 2008 2nd round pick out of Louisville. He was signed today by the Bills from the Green Bay Packers.

He may be the product of a great system at Louisville, but The Bills have nothing to lose.

We know about other Green Back back ups who have succeeded - Mark Brunell, Matt Hasselbeck!
