Sudfeld brothers score big

Reading time, two minutes:

• We ask Jim Harbaugh and Jim Schwartz to say hello, let bygones be bygones and, please, put away those Swiss army knives.

• Last year's handshake was bizarre until you realize those two firebrands are exactly alike.

• Modesto Junk offers a drawing for free Raiders tickets. Not kidding.

• The Raiders' Darren McFadden has been criticized for not staying healthy. Perhaps you'd have the same problem if you carried the ball every other play.

• The Dennis Allen Era begins with two botched punt snaps and a blocked punt. If Al Davis ever wills himself back onto this earth, now is the moment.

• Roger Clemens says he'll pitch only against a contender. Sounds like someone who's had his way his entire life.

• Quite a Saturday for the Sudfeld brothers of Modesto Christian: Zach caught a touchdown pass during Nevada's win over Northwestern State, and Nate (a true freshman) completed 13 of 20 passes for 172 yards and two touchdowns in Indiana's tough loss to Ball State.

• Portrait of a frustrating Cal League final: The Modesto Nuts are swept by Lancaster before they can deploy their best pitchers in Christian Bergman and Tyler Matzek.

• First-year Fresno State coach Tim DeRuyter (2-1), after the Bulldogs' impressive 69-14 win over Colorado, is gathering more ruyters.

• Before the calamity at Fresno, Colorado lost to Sacramento State. Welcome to the hot seat, coach Jon Embree.

• Old-timers will remember Stanford's Vow Boys, who vowed never to lose to USC (and they didn't). Make room for the new Vow Boys.

• We'll never see this again: An entire Stanford class swept the Trojans (4-0).

• The Modesto Junior College Pirates are 3-0, but here come the heavyweights — San Mateo and Butte.

• It's conceivable the Giants' Buster Posey could win the MVP, Comeback Player of the Year and my favorite — the Injured Catcher Who Doesn't Stay Down For Long Trophy.

• Jeff Kent survived six seasons in the same dugout and clubhouse with Barry Bonds. After that, "Survivor" is a snap.

• The Jets opened with 48 points after their first-team offense went without a touchdown in August. More evidence that the NFL preseason is one of the greatest frauds in professional sports.

• Definition of a bad NFL debut: The Browns' Brandon Weeden got lost underneath the American flag last week and then compiled a 5.1 QB rating.

• Uncovered in the back channels of my brain and I don't know why: Billy North.

• The Dodgers' race against the Giants unofficially ended when Josh Beckett was thrown out at first by Cardinals right fielder Carlos Beltran.

• Book it: Giraffes will fly at warpspeed before Melky Cabrera again wears the Giants uniform.

• Everyone knew the A's would be 84-61 on Sept. 16. Of course. So obvious.

• Cal clobbered Ohio State ... in rugby.

• The Bee's Jeff Jardine likes those stationary bicycles that recreate each stage of the Tour de France, including the EPO injections!

• Jeff joked about that last part — I think.

• Can you be too good to be true in Game 1? The 49ers soon will find out.

• Tonight's game is only a warm-up for Handshake II.
