The Tampa Bay Bucs running attack is about to improve, if talk of Cadillac Williams returning is true...have to say, I'm more than a little disappointed that there hasn't been a firing in Dallas yet. But, am more hopeful that Jerry Jones will come to his senses and offer someone like Bill Cowher the keys to the car in the offseason...you're an NFL team that spent significant dollars to sign player in the off-season. Entering Week 10, you look to release those players and as many as ten others. Who else could you be but the Oakland Raiders?...the New York Yankees have not won the World Series with a Republican in the White House since Dwight Eisenhower was president. This bodes well, I guess...with talk that Greg Maddux might be done pitching, and Tom Glavine and John Smoltz possibly done, Cooperstown is going to have one bumper crop of pitchers coming in together in five years, presumably all as Atlanta Braves...the San Antonio Spurs finally got off the schneid last night, led by Tony Parker's 55 points to go to 1-3...usually when you get an English team - Chelsea in this case - going to Rome for a Champions League game to face AS Roma and somebody dies, you figure it had to be a riot, brawl or the like. This time, it was a 13-year old getting killed by a falling tree after it was hit by lightning...one of the NFL's all-time draft busts Ryan Leaf was busted for drugs. Who would've thought he'd stay off the rails, other than everybody?...the Detroit Pistons didn't even need Allen Iverson or home court to knock off the Toronto Raptors last night. Was it me, or did the Air Canada Centre seem deathly quiet? Like, Maple-Leafs-quiet?...Brady Quinn gets the start tonight in Cleveland, which ought to make for an interesting fork in the road if he plays well. Derek Anderson's stock is falling in line with the markets of late. They face the Denver Broncos, and what the hell happened to them? If not for a couple wins aided by some interesting calls, they might be sitting at a single win...10-6 (+435) on Prime Time Picks going into tonight, and am thinking that despite their play of late, Denver at +3 is the right play. Cleveland still can't stop anybody and Denver gets the edge in the secondary, and Quinn's only had a day of practice with the first unit to get acclimated good enough for me. Get yours in with the fine folks at Pinnacle...Joey Porter is turning into the Curt Schilling of the NFL - an authority on everything that you ask him about. This week, he's spouting on Jacksonville Jag Matt Jones, saying he shouldn't be playing after his drug bust this past summer...NHL Players Association boss Paul Kelly, who doesn't believe in doing anything other than boosting revenues which will get his players bigger salaries, is a big fan of a second NHL team in Toronto. Gary Bettman is really not going to like Mr. Kelly...in keeping with the tradition that American NHLers are the only guys worth listening to, Dallas Star Mike Modano went off about the acts of teammates Sean Avery and Steve Ott in Boston on Saturday, calling it "embarrassing" and "idiotic and stupid"...have a great Thursday.

Well if he returns against the Vikings after the bye week, that would be super sweet, because I'll be there. I was fully expecting him not to play this seasone, and then take over for Dunn in a platoon with Graham next year. But we are hurting right now in the backfield with Askew out, and both Dunn and Graham hurt. Apparently he has looked explosive, it's just a matter of whether they think the knee is ready to take some punishment...
He'd be a huge boost against Peterson and the Vikes, and I'd love to see him live and behind a way improved o-line...
I have always hated the Raiders and Al Davis , but now this is too much fun. I hope Weird Al lives till he's 105 , because he ain't going anywhere and this gong show will continue until that crazy old fuck drops. This is better comedy than anything currently showing on cable.
And is it not funny (and for whatever reason not being mentioned much) that one of Weird Al's biggest gripes with Lane Kiffin is that Kiffin did not want to sign DeAngelo Hall in the offseason?
For the record , Kiffin will be the head coach at U of Tennessee at years end. And Davis will be trying to lure Michael Vick out of jail and into the Raider's organization.
it seems like people assume Ryan Leaf is going to screw up before it actually happens... but i guess this is mostly his own doing
