Monday, August 4th, 2008 - Incandescent with Rage


Is it me, or does Brett Favre look a little, well, "challenged", in that picture? Favre is back in Green Bay, and word is, in competition for the starting QB job. If I'm Aaron Rodgers, I'm incandescent with rage (always love when the English Premier League broadcasters drop the "incandescent with rage" line)...speaking of rage, Toronto FC had the screws put to them by a terrible referree who called a penalty shot for Dallas, then dished a red card to Amado Guevara. End result? TFC lost their first MLS home game since last September, 2-0. Danny Dichio remained out with post-concussion syndrome, and what is it with TFC and key players getting nasty concussions? Last year, Greg Sutton, this year, Dichio...the early reviews for Beijing's facilities, and now the weather too, are far, far better than what you would've believed. Christine Sinclair of the Canadian women's team called Beijing unrecognizable from previous visits...the NHL is going to trim goalie equipment. Nice of them to take the suggestions everybody had five years ago and implement them. At this pace, there will be new Canadian teams in about 20 years...Joe Torre asked ManRam to cut his hair. It'll be interesting to see if he does. My guess is he goes extreme and shaves it all off...the Blue Jays dropped 11.5 off the pace in the AL East. In other news, JP Ricciardi wishes he traded AJ Burnett. I'm making up the last part, but he should've. It's over...have a great Monday.

LOL

Green Bay fans now rank 3rd on my hate list along side Liverpool and BoSox fans. There were about 500 idiots welcoming Farve back from the airport last night.


I'd love to blame the refs for the TFC loss. But they haven't won since June 14th...12 games ago...also had the double chance on an FC Dallas win/ Draw so I'm smiling.

Can you really blame him? The camp period is way too long, they play far too many meaningless pre-season games, and then toss in an 80+ games which he's a virtual lock for and it is a bit much for anybody, nevermind a guy in his late 30's. The only break he got was he played for the Leafs and playoffs were something that other teams did the last three years.

He might even go Niedermayer and wait til January...
