Game 1 of the World Series goes tonight, finally. I'm thinking Tampa Bay Rays in six though recent history says - think Detroit and Colorado - that the team that is off as long as the Philadelphia Phillies has been tends to go out, and go out fast...how is this for a nice contract kicker: Boston Red Sock Dice-K Matsuzaka will see his annual salary for 2009 and 2010 go up by $2 million if he finishes top three in Cy Young voting this year, which he could well given his win total - assuming his ugly ERA is ignored...Manny Ramirez to the Philadelphia Phillies? My keeper fantasy team is begging for that development. He might hit a billion homers playing in that launching pad...Jose Canseco says he regrets writing "Juiced" and naming names. What he should regret is calling it much of a book at all. Pretty sure I've seen better writing from Grade 4's. On a more serious note, his book did a lot to clean up baseball, far more than The Mitchell Report did or will...without looking at the standings, who do you figure has scored more points than anyone else in the NFL this year, and it isn't even close? Believe it or not, the Chicago Bears...word is that EliteXC is done. The MMA company that UFC President Dana White said wouldn't last until Christmas didn't. So, does that mean that Kimbo Slice could participate in a future run of The Ultimate Fighter?..."The Special One" Jose Morinho is at it again, deriding players in the English Premier League for diving. This, while holding up Italy's "Serie A" as a league where that doesn't happen. That in itself is funny, and by funny, I mean incredibly wrong. What's funnier is that Morinho is Portuguese, the land where the art was developed, refined and perfected. At least of the players he named, none were English. If there's one thing you have to respect among English players, it is that that kind of garbage is frowned upon. Reason #1 why Wayne Rooney is my fav player...another NHL team in Toronto would be my hockey dream come true - any team in the area to supplant the Leafs as my team - who I simultaneously love and hate - would be great. Shame the odds of it happening are nil...if the Leafs keep not stealing the extra point in the shootout, people are going to think they're under orders...Buffalo Bills QB and rising star Trent Edwards was on Pardon The Interruption yesterday and was asked to play a little "Toss up" for what city he preferred - Toronto or Buffalo. He chose Buffalo. In response, Edwards degree from the esteemed Stanford has been revoked...going to be another week minus Tony Romo at the helm for the Dallas Cowboys. Wonderful...have a great Wednesday.

Can't blame Edwards, what else is he supposed to say? And the guy is the real deal. Watched him in college a bunch and was sold and praying for the Bucs to draft him. Predicted his great year and he's delivered.
Kimbo Slice on TUF? I like the sound of it. Would like more insight into his person. Make or break for him.
And the 'Boys are in trouble. I'm talking might not even make the playoffs trouble...
I am not saying it looks good by any means but don't count the Boys out yet. A certain team last year had similar problems early on. The Cowboys have more injury issue then them, and in my mind less chemistry issues (ie not calling for HC's head). That team last year, the defending Super Bowl champs!
One of my best buds, whose a die hard cowboys fan, is calling for Phillips' face. The guy does nothing...
We'll see. Cowboys have weapons and are always a threat. But I like the bucs here.
I want Phillips head in the box a la "Seven". For an alleged defensive wiz, they've done nothing to perform despite having top shelf talent at almost every spot.
Unlike TS, I'm VERY concerned for the remainder of this year. A Giants scenario is possible, but unlikely. That kinda thing doesn't happen repeatedly.
