Yankees should try not to win the AL East: Second place positions them to play the Twins in the first round and skip the Rangers, who just swept them. Yanks own the Twins in the post-season, and Cliff Lee will always scare me. At least until he's in pinstripes next year. And how about Derek Jeter. His average is down to .261 and he's going to be a free agent. A brutal negotiation session awaits the Yankee brass. He looks like a broken down man in his 15th full year. More like 16+ seasons, if you count the post-season games. His agents will want at least four years, as he still has a shot at Pete Rose's hit record, but I fear the wheels are off. And while we're playing pessimists on the Yankees, they are not looking anything like a World Series contender. An erratic starting pitching staff and too many guys hitting under .270 in key parts of the line-up will not make up for a deep bullpen.
College Football: Rutgers and the Big East look awful. Oregon looks frisky. Marcus Lattimore looks like a stud. Why is Arkansas 12th in the nation? Is Mallett that good? Did anybody really think Penn State, Florida State or Miami had a shot this weekend? And what is up with Lou Holtz' lithp? The lisp and the voice seem to be turning into a parody of themselves, moreso by the day.
UPDATE: How 'bout them Dukies!? Ha-yuge upset win over the Hokies is strong sign for lovers of the A-10, err CAA football fans all over the Eastern part of the US. The Dukies' win was so impressive that the team garnered 11 votes in this week's AP poll. I shart you not. Check here if you don't believe me. I love that some guy put them at 15th in the country to get these votes. Hopefully his name will surface.
(D-Train was right that this was indeed news worthy, although the state of Idaho may be a bit crestfallen.)
English Premier League: Wayne Rooney scores in all the wrong ways. In case you missed this news from across the pond, here's a recap. Wayne Rooney used to love whores. He married a foxy chick with a severely disabled younger sister. Wayne impregnated the foxy chick and kept loving whores. Meanwhile, Man U blew a 2 goal lead in the 90th minute against Tim Howard's Everton squad. You stay classy Wayne.
NFL: Not sure if you guys have heard, but the Jets have a game in a new stadium tonight. The team is supposed to be pretty good, when it's not harassing female reporters. I'll check it out and report back. I have seats that are DIRECTLY behind Fireman Ed. 14 rows behind him. Oy ve. I'm tempted to heckle him for being a tool, but the dude looks pretty jacked up.

wow. no mention of the dukes...why you gotta be a hater?
I meant to mention them, D-Train, and updated my post with a piece of news I caught this morning in a fine piece of investigative reporting.
So go back and refresh. That's what I meant to say.
Someone might wanna tell Fireman Ed that sitting on another dude's shoulders is geigh.
good work...approved...
Please tell me Gay Mike, Fat Mike and Retarded Ditka aren't doing the 2nd MNF game tonight.
I think its Gay Mike , Fat Mike and someone other than Ditka...but I can't remember who. Jamie Farr?
Gary Burghoff?
Ed now has a platform he can stand on. No genital smushing any more.
And I thought Mike^3 was no mas?
They have wi-fi on airplanes now, so I'm part of the nerdy version of the mile-high club as soon as I hit "publish your comment." I took a look at the last few comments to the previous post, and I don't think I gave away any Mad Men spoilers. Draper gets laid every episode. If you don't expect him to get some then you aren't paying attention.
I'm also surprised no one had anything to say about the young woman featured in the video from yesterday's post. I guess we're getting old.
the guy that filmed it...a little creepy, no? just a little?
a fine job to the dancer.
The NFLPA's lobbyist is up on the Hill asking members of congress (primarily Dems) to intervene in the NFL labor/bargaining/lockout issue. I fear that he will get what he wants.
Ron Artest is selling his championship ring ... to raise money ... wait for it ... so that more mental healthcare professionals can go to school. Sounds self-serving to me.
FRANKS AND BEANS!!!!
i should have the iheartjimmyclausenfanclub website up by tomorrow at latest.
i don't believe it's official yet, but i just have a hunch. he's so dreamy.
