Ben Roethlisberger is getting married on July 23. That in and of itself is interesting enough given his past, but two items from this story really stand out. 1) Roethlisberger says he and his fiancée will not live together before tying the knot because of "religious faith and beliefs." 2) Roethlisberger wanted to have the reception for his 500 guests at the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh, but was denied because the WWE has an event there that night.

Astros outfielder Hunter Pencejoined me for a chat. We discussed Varsity Blues, the awesomeness that is Connect Four, whether Entourage's E could get Sloan in real life, fantasy baseball and his girlfriend (a Houston Texans cheerleader). In addition, Pence asked if he could reveal his celebrity crush, which happens to be Beau Garrett, and told me I had to give her some love. So, if anyone knows Beau, tell her to hit up Pence on his Twitter or Facebook page. As for the podcast, you can check it out on iTunes or listen to it below.
