The Boston Red Sox have lost 16 straight one-run games on the road, but at home last night, downed Texas 19-17. That's not a typo. The NFL's pre-season would love to see that kind of scoring.....the San Diego Padres might slash their payroll from $76 million to $40 million for next year, rumored to be because of their owners current divorce battle. Must be nice being a fan of a team that is entirely somebody's play-toy. Here's hoping they trade Jake Peavy to somebody good, have him as a keeper in my fantasy pool...I'm not one to typically notice a commercial on TV as I generally zone out, but I have to say, that new Nike spot with The Killers track playing is great...gotta love that Olympic organizers thought the 7 year old who sang "Ode to the Motherland" at the opening ceremonies wasn't good looking enough so they had someone lip synch it. What sounds more like the Olympic spirit than "you're ugly, seven year old"...Gabe Morency at "Drive This!" says that Rampage Jackson and others back stage at UFC 87 on Saturday were not at all impressed with Brock Lesnar's dance/taunt of Heath Herring at the conclusion of their fight. Sounds like there is some resentment of Lesnar's bank, and now act...as he's wont to do, the Miami Dolphins Bill Parcells turfed an expensive kicker - Jay Feeley - to make room for a younger, cheaper option. Feeley said he never felt wanted. Suspect the couple million he pocketed last year for a 1-15 team would beg to differ. All four of the Dolphins captains from last year - Feeley, Jason Taylor, Zach Thomas, and Trent Green - are now gone. This is what you do when you're terrible: get younger and cheaper. Smart moves in Miami...so much for yesterday's soccer game being meaningless for Canada's soccer women: they now get the U.S. in the quarterfinals...Jose Calderon gets off the classic "I'm not racist" response to the picture yesterday. He used "Oriental", which I haven't seen used since Bill Parcells used it a few years back, and of course, talked of how he has Chinese friends, and says that it is everyone else that is confused. Memo to Jose Calderon: sometimes it is best to say nothing...best athlete name I've heard in some time: Dean Windass of Fulham FC in the English Premier League. That is great...have a great Wednesday.Wednesday, August 13, 2008
