Saturday, August 9th, 2008 - I-N-T-S!

UFC 87 goes tonight, and nobody has more at stake than Brock Lesnar, who is looking at an 0-2 record should he lose tonight. Have a feeling he bests Heath Herring tonight, though. George St. Pierre defends his title against Jon Fitch in the main event in what should be better than most assume. That said, my bet is Roger Huerta and Kenny Florian have the fight of the night, and I'm picking Huerta there...I'm feeling very Olympian today, or at least, checking out the ten hottest Olympians...the Yankees and Angels are the only two teams above .500 on the road in the American League...was following a dump truck yesterday. The graphic on the back: "Everybody loves a good dump". Classic...looks like Toronto doesn't have a lock on screwing Buffalo fans alone. $20 tickets in the 300 level at the HSBC Arena go for $78 when the Maple Leafs are in town...Brett Favre on FieldTurf for home games behind a line he's not familiar with? I predict injury by the end of October, and not because of the turf, but because he's not quick enough to move out on the fast surface. Said one caller to the Jim Rome Show of Favre's move: "I-N-T-S! JETS! JETS! JETS!"...Kobe Bryant says he'd play in Italy for $50 million a year. Not happening...the Olympics are off to a roaring start. One American citizen killed by a knife wielding attacker...San Diego Padre Brian Giles blocked a trade to go to the Boston Red Sox, even though it would've meant an automatic $2 million bonus for being dealt. Giles is one different cat...noodle armed Chad Pennington is off to the Miami Dolphins and will be starting. I'm sure Dolphins Fan thinks they're now playoff contenders...the Yankees are the first team in MLB history to have seven players with 200+ career homers...one more week til the English Premier League kicks off. Saturday morning's are about to get great again...Toronto FC travel to Colorado today to face the Rapids, the last team they beat back on June 14th. Striker Danny Dichio has made the trip and should play some, which bodes well for a squad that is missing at least four starters from injuries and suspension. Kickoff is 4pm on Rogers SportsNet...have a great Saturday.
