Fox Sports Ken Rosenthal names John Gibbons as one of three managers on the hotseat…Roger Clemens lawyer says his client is getting "pummelled". In other news, the sky is blue…think rookies are getting paid out of line with their experience in the NFL? Tightend Vernon Davis is making $4 million more than multiple time Pro Bowler Jason Witten…honestly, the crowd-with-towels-and-same-coloured-shirts thing is more tired than "Who Let The Dogs Out?" a few years back. It needs to go away. It's entirely cookie cutter now. What I love about Toronto FC crowds is those shirts are all personally purchased, like real fans do and not trained seals…I don't often bother with Don Cherry, but when he noted the size difference between the Canadiens and Flyers after the Flyers wrapped up the series and the teams shook hands, he did hit the nail on the head there…now here is incentive: John Calipari's extension at Memphis pays him $5 million if he stays to the end of the contract...the Indianapolis Colts have 3 starters that have ever suited up for another team. That there is good drafting...yes, hockey fans, that was [b]Gary Roberts diving in yesterdays game against the Rangers[/b], and yes, the CBC colour man called him on it...I'll never understand how the NBA starts the second round for some teams while other first round series are still on...one more win and the Kitchener Rangers will have completed their steamrolling through the OHL playoffs, with a sole loss...West Ham boss Alan Curbishly said Manchester United deserved to win the EPL, before their game against United Saturday. Wonder how Chelsea felt about that?. Chelsea travel to face Newcastle United today and must win to maintain hope...it's Pittsburgh vs. Philly and Detroit vs. Dallas in the conference finals. Lots of seats available in Detoilet at a very reasonable $75 for anyone looking to make a road trip...have a great Monday.
