Opening day of the Olympics. Be ready for a steady diet of pollution stories, coverage of media censorship, and no doubt a steady stream of Chinese and American athletes heading to the podium, and Canadians achieving "personal bests"...the last time old man Favre played the Pats he was 5 for 15 for 73 yards and was knocked out of the game. Expect ugliness on September 14th...so Adam Jones can play in pre-season games for the Dallas Cowboys, but isn't cleared for regular season yet? How exactly does that make sense?...only in Leafland can Pavel Kubina go from being a daily trade rumor and a guy they openly wanted out of town to being in the running for captain if Mats Sundin doesn't return...Tito Ortiz and Jenna Jameson are expecting a kid. I'm sure that kid will be real well adjusted with mom arguably the most famous porn star ever. UFC boss Dana White told "Drive This" that "Ortiz is the biggest moron walking the face of the earth". Good luck, kid!...this is going to be an uncomfortable topic for some, but isn't the whole way the Brett Favre thing has played out just been a little out of line with what would've happened if he were, say, black? The things he's pulled are far worse than anything Terrell Owens or Chad Johnson have done. Neither of them never were in the NFL's substance program. Neither ran down teammates, management, coaches and everyone and demanded they get all their demands met - just some. Neither held their team hostage for three consecutive years. But Favre gets off despite being on the wrong side of all those measures. What else could it be? Even in this example, the Packers are vilified. Wouldn't you have handled it the same way Green Bay did? All Favre has done is look for attention like a teenaged schoolgirl before prom night. He's leaked private conversations and tried to force his way into a situation he wants. I hope he fails miserably and regrets not walking off into the sunset in March. If he limps, even better...Derek Jeter is ranked in the 40's of the 62 MLB short-stops defensively, says one NL scout in Peter Gammons latest. The Blue Jays John McDonald ranked tops...the Miami Dolphins gave Quincy Carter a look. Seriously...I can see it, but I can't believe it: Mike Mussina. 15-7. 3.27 ERA...Cito Gaston will return to the Jays as manager in 2009. Question: will Paul Godfrey and JP Ricciardi be in place? And if not, how can you announce the manager?...have a great Friday.
