The Monday Lineup: Seven ESPN moments from the weekend
Some of what you may have missed over the weekend from ESPN:
1. ESPN Radio’s coverage of the MLB Playoffs features more than just insightful analysis from the likes of Chris Singleton, as evidenced by the tweet below. Said Singleton: “It was a thrill making that grab in such a big game! I hadn’t caught one from the booth since 2007. I was tracking it the entire way and stood up at the last moment when I realized it was actually going to enter the booth and I made a clean grab.”
Here's the ball that caught me! Lol @BoogSciambi @MLBonESPNRadio @espnbbtn @KeithOlbermann pic.twitter.com/NNkeh0TOzK

3. Monday Night Football has the Jets at the Falcons tonight (8:25 p.m. ET). On Monday Night Countdown (6:30 p.m.), Lisa Salters has a sitdown with Jets quarterback, Geno Smith.
4. Worth watching, if you didn’t get to see it on College GameDay.

7. Today’s @SVPandRussillo will feature the payoff from a bet gone horribly wrong.
True>> RT @ncp_3: I bet @dannykanell is looking forward to his spot on @SVPandRussillo And @notthefakeSVP is probably not #terpsbeatdown
