Black out, I really had a black out...

Love the "Rex the Hutt" and Princess Sanchez pic, which comes courtesy of SB.

Despite being a 4-1 squad, and having every game finish in thrilling fashion, the Cincinnati Bengals are looking like their game will be blacked out locally this weekend when they host the Houston Texans. That will mark the first time since 2003 that the Bengals haven't sold out.

Speaking of blackouts, I've got a funny feeling you'll be seeing one in Toronto when the Buffalo Bills host the New York Jets. Can you see a blackout?

Another night, another loss for the last place and winless Toronto Maple Leafs, this time 4-1 at the hands of the Colorado Avs. But good to see they're not panicking, as they're likely the first team this NHL season to start their third string goalie.

Why is it that airplanes still have the "no smoking" lights illuminated at every row of seats? Seriously, is there anybody that doesn't know you can't smoke on planes for, oh, the last 30 years or so?

Cannot believe the the Toronto Blue Jays had a couple offers for Alex Rios at the trade deadline, one from each of St. Louis and Boston, for some lesser prospects but that would take on his salary, and JP Ricciardi passed. There's already word that Ricciardi may land as an assistant with the New York Mets. How fitting. A disaster being foisted upon a disaster. "Foisted" is such a great word.

Is Brady Quinn on his way out of Cleveland? If he's not, then he's at least looking for a new place to live as his house is for sale. Maybe he's looking to downsize with a lockout looming in 2011. If starter du jour Derek Anderson went 2 of 17 Sunday against Buffalo and they're keeping him, that's quite the indictment on Quinn, no?

As smack goes, it is tough to top New York Giants Antonio Pierce saying that playing the Oakland Raiders on Sunday felt like they were merely scrimmaging.

Flew a brand new plane the other week, on its maiden voyage, and still had that sign...

Wouldn't have minded Rios... He would have been buried in the rotation this summer, but at least he got a better glove than Holliday and his hitting, bad as it is would be better than what Holliday showed at the end of the season.
