Chuck Lidell lost for the third time in four fights, which should put an end to any notion he's an immediate contender for the heavyweight crown. Rashard Evans took the advice in this space yesterday and brought a gun, in the form of a right to the chin that sent Lidell to the canvas. Not sure about you, but I'm glad Lidell lost - UFC's overt promotion of him at the expense of others who may be more talented was rather annoying...Roger Federer took care of Novak Djokovic in one men's semi-final at the U.S. Open. If the rain holds off today and Rafael Nadal takes care of his end of the bargain, here's hoping they can conjure up something remotely as compelling as the Wimbledon final in June. Personally, I'm hoping Federer wins it to shut up all the doubters who have left him for dead after a great year by anybody but Federer's standards...today is like Christmas day as a child. The real opening of the NFL season. There's nothing like it...the Chicago media is so desperate to make something of "Cowboy" Kyle Orton that they've got a collage of pictures of guys he looks like, including Brad Pitt, George Clooney and my man, Dave Grohl...met Toronto Star scribe Cathal Kelly last night and had a great chat about Toronto FC, and more interestingly, the criticism he takes from the Red Patch Boys. Mr. Kelly is a big fan of "Mango Kid" and "GBV" at the Red Patch Boys website for bringing some sense to the debates over there, particularly around Kelly's articles. Great guy, and knows his stuff, that's a fact...Toronto FC had three players in the lineup yesterday who weren't even on the team until Friday, and had to get special permission from MLS to have them play in a 2-1 loss to Chivas USA. How is that for the integrity of the competition? Plainly, yesterday's game should have been moved when that many players are on international duty. Sure, TV contracts matter, but what about the 20,000 who paid to watch?...the less said about Canada's joke of a men's national soccer team, the better...have a great Sunday.

Brad Pitt? Really?
Best 2 games this sunday:
Bucs/Saints at 1
Cowboys/Browns at 4...
If you look at the link, I think they're going for the beard thing. A reach all the way around (reach around?).
Think the Cards/49ers game could be interesting too. Might be a million points in that one.
Bucs/Saints is a toss up for me. Interesting matchup of a great D vs. a great O.
Cowboys SMOKE the Browns.
Cowboys did smoke the Browns, and my Bucs lost...
Not so bad as I had them splitting with NO anyways, losing week 1 on the road winning on the road, and it could have gone either way.
One of my best buds is a huge Cowboys fan, and he was expressing his concern, over the fact that after TO, the boys only have Crayton...
A Owens injury would be devastating...
Crazy that Brady went down, but as a NE hater, I can't say that I'm that dissapointed...
