It must have a drag for the mother of the Bears’ Adrian Peterson as she bragged about her son’s start on Monday Night Football. I wonder how many times she had to explain “No, no, my boy is the other one.”
Word has it they’re bringing back The Donnie and Marie Show. I hope it doesn’t air at the same time as Dancing with the Stars.
Brian Westbrook’s act of downing the ball at the one rather than scoring a touchdown was a completely unselfish act in a league full of selfish people. Fantasy owners may not have liked it, but it was one of my favorite plays of the year because it was so unusual. Unfortunately, I was one of the fantasy owners who lost as a result.
Fidel Castro is considering retirement. The guy is 81 years old, but I
don’t blame him for hanging on so long. Retiring to a condo in Florida
really isn’t an option.
Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien are both going to resume their shows without
writers. Both shows should be disasters without comedy writers. I’d
write something funny here, but I’m on strike.
In a shocking development his week, Whiz guru Jim Day was implicated in
Mitchell Report. Day allegedly used performance enhancing drugs to
increase his output of fantasy articles. He also allegedly used human
growth hormones for “personal reasons.” Day denies any wrongdoing.
I don’t understand why teams continue to kick to Devin Hester.
The Bears have no offensive weapons, so why challenge Hester? Common
sense says to squib the kickoffs and punt to the sidelines. The
Vikings didn’t get burned kicking to him like the Broncos did a few
weeks ago, but the persistence of coaches in the NFL in kicking to
Hester is irrefutable proof that, contrary to popular belief, there are
no geniuses coaching in the NFL.
The Cowboys' Roy Williams has been suspended for a game for violating the “Roy Williams Rule” after his horse collar tackle of Donovan McNabb. Hey Roy, something tells me you're probably not going to get away with violating a rule named after you.
Two men escaped from an Elizabeth, New Jersey jail on Saturday by
digging through the walls and covering the holes with pictures of
scantily clad women. Word has it that the prison library had The Shawshank Redemption filed under Educational next to The Count of Monte Cristo. How often do you notice a man’s shoes?
