At left: O.J Simpson's new home. Cozy, ain't it? Still chasing pictures of his next home in Hell...SI.com's Tom Verducci told Jim Rome he thinks that Manny Ramirez is a great fit for the Toronto Blue Jays, and the interest should be mutual. Jim Rome hoped it wouldn't happen because baseball and the media need ManRam in a "major market"...if the City of Toronto and media were in mourning over the loss of the Molson/Steelback/Whatever Indy for a year, imagine how Montreal feels getting dropped from the F1 loop for next year, a far more storied and big time event than the Indy...wonder how Don Cherry will feel about the Leafs big, tough, first round Canadian defenceman Luke Schenn, who has made the team, wearing a visor?...one day of a diving market last week cost Jim Balsillie of RIM $1.2 billion. That's a drop in the bucket for a guy still said to be looking at buying the Nashville Predators and ideally, move them north to Hamilton or Kitchener in a new building...pretty weak night in sports last night with only NBA pre-season on the go...looking forward to PETA going off over Brett Favre killing a wild turkey, bagging it up - blood, guts and all - and leaving it in a teammates locker. That Brett, he sure is redneck...what a sad country we live in when you have the national, tax-payer funded TV network running a contest to pick a theme song for Hockey Night In Canada...have a great Wednesday.
