Maybe it is the benefit of being fresh in the memory, or maybe it is my Cowboy fandom, but have you ever seen a Monday Night Football game as great as last night's 41-37 win for the Cowboys over the Eagles? Crazy, crazy game...Blue Jays pitching coach Brad Arnsberg believes AJ Burnett will stay in Toronto. Unless the Jays are going to extend him another few years at $15 million plus per season, I really can't see it happening...Pittsburgh Steelers rookie running back Rashard Mendenhall's nickname is "Heim". Put it in the middle...Champions League action gets under way in earnest today. Kinda crazy how much the top players play. Here's Wayne Rooney's schedule: two Saturday's ago in Barcelona as England faced Andorra. This past Wednesday in Zagreb as England faced Croatia. Sunday for Manchester United on the road as they faced Liverpool, and tomorrow at home to face Spanish side Villareal. That's too many games, plain and simple...NHL camps are on the verge of opening. Wake me when the playoffs start...a soccer game in the Congo saw 13 die when there was suspected witchcraft at play. At least there was a good reason...Washington Redskins Tight End Chris Cooley was working a picture into his blog when he didn't notice that the picture he was taking of his playbook also included his little red skin. Of course, the Deadspins of the world hopped on it before he could take it down. Not a smart play, Cooley...the Milwaukee Brewers GM Doug Melvin went Lou Lamoriello and axed manager Ned Yost but two weeks before the playoffs as the Brewers stumble to the finish...Bloomberg Radio reported that Fred Wilpon and the New York Mets are looking to buy an MLS team. I'm hoping not to play at Citibank Field, new home of the Mets. The MLS has done well going into soccer only buildings, and a 50,000 seat baseball venue is not the way to go...Jake "The Snake" Roberts rehab has paid huge dividends. If by "dividends" you mean "drunker than ever"...have a great Tuesday.

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008 - A Whole Lotta "O" in Big D

sounds like jake is today playing the Spiked Beverage Card.
The restitution time for a top-flight soccer player is about 3-4 days (some 2 days), so it is just within the limits. But of course, playing 90 min twice a week for several weeks should prolong that time. Size is involved as well. A big guy like Carew can't play more than a game a week. Seems Villas manager understands that (Carew doesn't play or play sparingly in UEFA qualies), while the Norwegian national team doesn't. It becomes a problem when the national teams doesn't respect the individual players restitution time.
Don't get football live here in Norway, but will definitively tune in to the re-run tomorrow if it was as good as you say.
Jake is a DISASTER. Maybe they name the next hurricane after him - they're at J now.
Norway, my point is beyond just the days - it is also travel, training and so on. I just can't see how a player can repeatedly play that number of games and maintain health.
As for the NFL game, be sure to at least catch the first half - it was a wild one start to finish.
I agree with you TB, it is just on the limit, but over weeks that will get too much, and as you said travel and everything as well it becomes way more. The 3-4 days are based on medical testing after one game, not the effects from 2 games a week over several weeks and including training and traveling etc.
Comparison: two soccer games, 180 min a week amounts to the same as 4 full basketball games, but without any breaks in action and twice the intensity (doubt a basketball player run a lot more than 5-6 k‘s a game, correct me if Im wrong). That is just sick.
For Man U: They got Berbatov now and Ronaldo is back so I guess they can rest Rooney a little.
Hopefully Cappello does the same...
Will surely catch the first half, they send the game following the Zenit game tomorrow. Shouldnt really be able to watch it, but our cable operator has messed up and for some reason we dont get any of the regular national and free channels except for one. In return we get all the expensive movie channels and sports channels without paying. Great me, can watch MLB, NFL, NCAA, EPL, Spanish League and Italian League plus several of the CL games. Not so much for the girls, missing their soaps.
