Monday, August 11th, 2008 - Canada still at zero

If you're China, and you're hosting the Olympics, why do you bother to have your hoops teams players names in English? Just shows how much TV deals impact...pretty sad that you can bet on a coin toss with more confidence than you could bet on Dwight Howard to sink a free throw...the Tampa Bay Rays have set a franchise record with their 71st win. Expect a few more to be added to that total...so, Old Man Favre fumbled a snap in practice and had to run a penalty lap. Wonder what the Jets are going to have him do when he throws more picks than TD's this year? I nominate seeing if he can fly off the Empire State Building...the NFL is looking at dropping two pre-season games and adding two to the regular season. Please, and now...good of Barry Bonds to let everyone know he's not retired. For all intents and purposes Barroid, you are...Padraig Harrington won his second straight major. Of greater interest is that Sergio Garcia soiled the bedsheets again. I love a good trainwreck...synchronized diving. Explain to me who thought that was a good idea...there is a strong "golf is not a sport" argument to be had, and you can add "it's not in the Olympics" despite being widely played (a requirement) to the list...GBVH points us towards StubHub to see that Bills/Steelers tickets in Toronto are selling for very, very cheap prices...have a great Monday.
