Bob McCown and the Grumpy Old Men at Fan590 report that Jim Balsillie is close to a deal to buy the Nashville Predators. In related news, Gary Bettman's getting his blood pressure meds...whatever happened to Red Patch Live?...magician David Blaine is said to be unhappy with Liverpool's Robbie Keane for breaking his record of doing nothing in a box for two months. Keane finally scored for Liverpool, in Champions League play yesterday in a 3-1 win over PSV Eindhoven...who to cheer for in this baseball playoffs? Because of Yankee and Canadian content, going to have to say the Chicago Cubs, even a game down, though the LA Dodgers aren't lacking in Yankee and Canadian content themselves...former NFLer Travis Henry is going to have a tough time paying for all those kids across America if he continues to get busted for purchasing coke...I was sure I wouldn't see it the entire MLB playoffs, but there it is after one game: a sub three hour game...informal poll time: what organization is a bigger joke: Oakland Raiders or the Toronto Maple Leafs?...Chelsea was held to a draw with the surprising Romanian side CFR Cluj. Anything that is bad for Chelsea is good for the world...the Philadelphia Phillies won their first playoff game since Mitch Williams was serving up meatballs to Toronto Blue Jay Joe Carter...it took all of one game to once again show why the best of five idea is a lame one in baseball. The LA Dodgers rode a trio of long balls en route to taking home field advantage over the Chicago Cubs, despite being 13 games behind them this season. The noose is gonna get tight fast in ChiTown. The Boston Red Sox also ripped home field from Anaheim, despite being five games worse. This best of five thing is borderline criminal, or at least, cruel...in an si.com poll, 41% of NFL players polled called Peyton Manning the least mobile QB in the game...in a shocking development, members of Twisted Sister have decided that now, they will in fact take it...have a great Thursday.

Loving the Blaine comment, classic!

Watched the Cluj game, Chelsea were lucky getting a draw in that one. Pereira impressed me a lot, minus his one huge dive on a Ballack tackle. Great actor though... definitively fooled both me and the ref.

Don't know enough about the raiders situation to make an informed vote, though Leafs are definitively deserving. Newcastle could be an option as well... Such a promising first game, then everything went to hell after that.

Red Patch Live....dudes got busy with their personal lives so it's so longer a go.

Cheering the White Sox myself, want to see Griffey get his.

three out of five is a joke.
especially when you consider you play 160-something games to get there.
that's just ass-backwards.

cheering for anybody but the red sox, cubs and dodgers. probably in that order.

Newcastle is a disaster, but they don't have the years of debacle that the Leafs and Raiders are working on now.

YF, seems to me things have cooled some in general with the RPB's. Maybe I'm off, but don't see any big roadies happening anymore either, no?

GBVH, couldn't agree more on the 3 of 5. It's a joke. I also think the team with home field should at least get four games of the five (or 5 in a best of 7). Whenever you can give more value to the regular season, I'm in favor.
