So if Matt Cassel costs a second round draft picks, how is Jay Cutler and a fifth round draft pick worth Kyle Orton and a pair of first rounders, plus a third from the Chicago Bears? And here I thought Denver was in a tough spot with the trade demands and need to trade so obvious...Michael Kay of the Yankee Network on Derek Jeter batting leading off: "That's 162 at bats that Jeter won't hit into a double play." Ouch. The bloom is falling off the rose more everyday when guys like Kay are cracking like that...Peter Gammons lists the three best teams in baseball as the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays. The AL East is going to be scary if that holds true...that eerie silence you hear in the Toronto area is the calm before the storm that is going to hit BMO Field tomorrow when Toronto FC make their 2009 home debut. Cannot. Freaking. Wait. Coverage is on CBC at 4pm for those not able to get in or further away...North Carolina guard Ty Lawson is already a winner at the Final Four, winning $250 at a Detroit casino last night. The rest of his teammates were down about the same in Windsor area peeler joints. I'm only guessing on the latter. Also in that article is the lame revelation that Caesar's in Windsor is suspending wagering on the Final Four this weekend at the request of the NCAA...the normally mild mannered Cito Gaston went off over revelations that Roger Clemens had a hand in having him fired, calling him an asshole among other things. Sure he may have had a hand in Gaston's dismissal, but Clemens performance in Toronto is the only thing that made keeping him a possibility...in Germany's World Cup qualifier Wednesday, striker Lukas Podolski got into it with captain and all-round douche-bag and perennial second place man Michael Ballack. There's video below of how that went. Of course, the German camp says all is fine...the New York Yankees will open their new palace tonight against the Chicago Cubs. You can watch here at 7:05 tonight, and check out pics of this incredible new building here, and video here, and finally, panorama shots here...what do the LA Lakers, Boston Celtics and Washington Wizards have in common? They're the only teams to beat the Cleveland Cavs twice this season...some curious jersey's here. Including the obligatory clowns with #69, you get a Carolina Hurricanes jersey with a Hartford Whalers logo. Hid. E. Ous...the English Premier League is back in action tomorrow after the international break. Will Manchester United take the defibrilators to their title chances and down Aston Villa Sunday? Should be a great one...back with your PTP later.Germany's Lukas Podolski does what everyone in the world wants to do to Michael Ballack...

Love the Michael Key comment!
Going to be a great game on Sunday. Can't wait to see Ronaldo and Young, the two best wing players in EPL going at it at each other. With Vidic, Rooney and Scholes suspended and Berbatov and Anderson injured Villa might actually have a chance. The fact that Heskey also is out will surely help as well (God, that signing makes JO look like a good move...).
Rumor is Laursen might make it back which would help a lot on set pieces. Still just hoping for a tie though. That should be enough to get 4th in the end since Arsenal still got Liverpool, Chelsea and Man U left and I can't see them get away with more than 2 points from that.
hey Mango & Norway, I got rejected a place at the University Waterloo residence. What's a good place to look for an off-campus housing?
Hehehehe, well a place, but not good would be the Huether hotel, they actually rent out rooms on top, not the best standard, but relatively cheap, heat and electiricty inclusive (should get the wireless internet they got donwstairs into the rooms as well.
Great bar, not so great beer, but passable and lots of sports on TV all the time. Get's alittle lonely though since most the guys there are not exactly social.
Know a few other people there as well, in regular housing who might have an extra room, PM me on RC and I can pass the word out for you.
Cant wait for TFC tomorrow. Scored me a free ticket through a friend. Drinking starts 11am on the subway to the game LOL. Love it
