HBO Boxing 24/7 Calzaghe-Jones

What a good show this is. They should have one for every big fight. Are we interested in this fight on 11/8?

Kind of funny

"The 82 game NBA pre-season has begun. They play four months to eliminate the Clippers and one other team then start seven rounds of playoffs."

Monday Night Actually Matters

The question is can I make up 5 points with Manning and Bironas against Tennessee D? This may be tougher than one might think.

I may live blog it.

Oh, T-bone...

I'm a little disappointed to see that you didn't even make a pick in the latest Survival league.

On a side note, I'm also a little surprised that less than 1% of people picked Carolina this past week given that west coast teams are 0-12 (now 0-13) in 1PM starts on the east coast.

Rule change for next year.

Not sure how we missed this, but Fum lost is -2 and an INt is -1. My feeling is they should either both be -2 or both be -1. An offensive tunrover is an offensive turnover.

Not even trying to kiss up to the 'Uar.

1.
Texas
8-0
2.
Alabama
8-0
3.
Penn State
9-0
4.
Southern California
6-1

5.
Oklahoma
7-1
6.
Texas Tech
8-0
7.
Florida
6-1



The only way I can see you're beloved Gators making it to whatever city is gracing us with a bowl of nachos this year is for Texas and Oklahoma to BOTH slip up. I think that gives you guys a strength of conference argument (if you win out). I think you also need the 'Noles & Cocks, Auburn & LSU to win a few in next month (Auburn & LSU for 'Bama's schedule).
Good luck!

Curses. Looks like the Rays are gonna drop game 3

1st & 3rd, no outs, bottom of 9th.
I CANT TAKE IT!!!!

Kid from Texas Tech just bumped P Diddy

to 5th all time NCAA for passing yardage.

Good news for Earnest Graham!!!

Mon, Oct 20 Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Jon Gruden said during his press conference Monday, Oct. 20, that RB Warrick Dunn (undisclosed) was unable to finish the team's Week 7 game, and it is not sure if he will play in Week 8.

(KFFL)

Mon, Oct 20 Updating a previous report, the St. Petersburg Times reports Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Warrick Dunn (back) left the team's Week 7 game because of a pinched nerve in his upper back.

Is this even legal in a game???

Monday, October 20, 2008

Well, this wasn't totally unexpected

EliteXC est muerte

I'll be interested to see how all of this shakes out with some of their better fighters.

Wow. The Commish completely annihilated me.

Its like she's a big mouthed demon with a sign that says 'Free Ice Cream' only its destruction she is offering, not free ice cream.

Did anyone realize?

That the NHL regular season already started. The Rangers are already 5-0 and the hurricanes are 2-1. Wow. No one really cares about hockey.

I think I'm Effed!!!

The Lions traded Roy Williams to the Cowboys. I see Roy having a Pro Bowl caliber season the rest of the way since most of the coverage will be rolled TO's way. Oh, and look at what we have here.....Sam Handwich just happens to have held on to Mr. Williams. This doesn't bode well for me.

Skooled.

LCS thoughts

So I haven't been a huge baseball fan over the years. The Twins Braves series of 1991 was fairly exciting. Especially the game the twins won. Luke charged out on the balcony expecting the deluge of phonebooks, pizza boxes and toilet paper that followed all the Brave's wins.

One lone person screaming across a quad "goooo Twiiiiins!" followed by crickets is pretty darn memorable. And I'll always love him more for it!

I have many great memories of waking up at 3am in Nepal to tune into the Denver/GreenBay Superbowls and World Cup France.

But up until recently, that cricket night with Luke was about it for baseball.

I've definitely been much more excited for our historic forays in 'Ice Croquette' and other modified rules of yard games. I'm still thinking we should get a thrift shop set of my little ponies to make a game of horseshoes seem like a hell of a lot more in the telling of it.

Until this October.

The attention I've paid to the Bulls over the last three years has really come back to make me damn happy as I've followed the Rays through their cinderella year. Listening to the games on am radio and hearing the former Bulls lighting up an 11-0 at Fenway pitcher was just damn awesome.

Not that the Rays will continue to have this success, especially is the rich ass division they're in, but if they do, it may be time to consider a road trip next summer, just 'cause. Of course, this is a midnight thought fed by "Red Brick Brown Ale" from the Atlanta brewing company. It's a little sugary for me, but there's five more just waiting for coming nights!

hmmmm.

lost that train.

whoooooooo whooooooooooooooo

Can you guess who this is?


First to know wins a prize.

Pick'em

Still pulling up the rear but having given the league a 3 week head start I think I'm doing pretty well!

Holy crap. Cant I catch a lucky break ???

Mon, Oct 13 WR Brandon Stokley suffered a concussion against the Jaguars and missed most of the second half. He will be monitored this week before the Broncos determine his status for their next game.

Wish I had read that before I dropped Bobby Engram.

Some numbers just for fun.

So, I decided to see what the league would look like if we were in a universal head to head league (that is, everyone plays everyone else every week); here are the standings through week 5:

Place in Universal StandingsTeam NameUniversal StandingsReal Place in the Standings
1. MPTH 30-15T2
2. SH 29-16T7
3. 80's 27-18T2
T4. MHH24-20-1T2
T4.TIA24-20-1T7
6. Crows 23-21-1T2
7. TTAS19-26T7
8. SEx18-271
9.Nash 16-29T2
10.Hell12-32-110

It's obvious a few leaguers have gotten some favorable match ups, and it's obvious that there are a few hard luck losers amongst us (sorry, Pooler).

Not that AJ is up shit creek...

but it aint looking good for him @ noon.
Sorry about Coles & Royal. And Boldin. And Reggie Brown.

Its a good thing I dont mind winning dirty.

Saturday, October 11, 2008

Does this go here?

I'm not sure if its funny from a sports figure standpoint or if its political. Either both RA and SK will be voting for McCain now.

Brady Quinn loves him some McCain!

Wednesday, October 8, 2008

Am I correct that there is a game on Thorsday night?

Any interest in going to Fox & Hound to watch it on NFL network ?

Not sure if T Bone & Mr. Pooler are up for Sunday @ Wild Wings -- the Sidekick is DEFINITELY out, so it might just be me & Sweet Dee.
Brent, what do you have on tap ?
AJ, you need to get you're arse up here one weekend!

Tuesday, October 7, 2008

Maybe, just MAYBE we should at least watch Futbol for the interviews.

Sweet Dee, why dost thou hatest me ???

Spooner Express
Antonio Gates
Derek Anderson

Nasheville Toupee
Terrell Owens
T.J. Houshmandzadeh

Anyone have a top tier receiver they are willing to part with ?
Check my bench, let me know. Gates available also.

Looks like I'm 80% of the way to 5-13.

Thats right beeches!!!
Wooo Wooo !!!
The Express rolls on into 1st place, all alone.

Who's next ???

Monday, October 6, 2008

At least I can pick a TE.

Visanthe Shiancoe scores! Way to get a triple squadouche with 27 replacement points sitting on the bench. I might as well pop my collar and finish the douche part off. Shit.

Saturday, October 4, 2008

4th and 2 with 2min left on their 40something?

c'mon T Oby! our d's good enough to stop 'em. Now you get the ball back with 15 seconds. . .

finding ways to avoid winning?

Raycom intro

Bad portents:

1) rascal flat sings the ACC football theme. Might as well get michael bolton as far as I'm concerned

2) feature tackle in the football footage somebody swallowing Daniel Evans wholesale. Arms wrapped, etc. (and the NCSU is clear on him). . .

3) rascal wussass flats? no freakin' wonder. Couldn't they get someone with some credibility for being tough, like celine dion?
