'stache time?

Seems some callers to talk radio in New York are wondering why Derek Jeter wasn't more involved in the fight with the Toronto Blue Jays a couple nights back, him being captain and all. SportsbyBrooks suggests that Jeter needs a mustache to toughen him up. This is a really nothing story, but does allow me to run a pic of Jeter with a 'stache photoshopped in.

It turns out that it was two teens who spray painted a message on the lawn of Buffalo Bill Leodis McKelvin. McKelvin is willing to forgive and forget. Meantime, Terrell Owens attributed the act to ignorance, and added that it'll be interesting to see if anything is spray painted on McKelvin's lawn "once we make it to the playoffs." Two things: T.O. knows come playoff time there will be about 3' of snow on said lawn in Buffalo, right? Second, he also knows the Bills aren't going to the playoffs, right? The paint job featured the score and a certain part of the male anatomy in white.

When anticipating an entertaining game, it is always best to see if Jose Mourinho is anywhere near the sidelines. Despite being at home, The Special One had his Inter Milan side looking like they had no interest in opening up their attack and the result was mostly a dull game against Barcelona that finished a scoreless draw.

America, this is why a good chunk of the world hates you: for making the Old Has Been's jersey the #1 seller among NFL jersey's. Some things I just cannot fathom.

Well, it has been a couple years so it is about time that the name Washington Redskins was brought back into the spotlight as being offensive to Native American groups. A group of Natives is looking to have the Supreme Court reverse a ruling a few years back that allowed the team name to stand.

I'm working my 6th or 7th lapper in the last decade or so I figure. I've yet to find one that doesn't get hotter than the surface of the sun after actually using it as a "laptop". Very, very annoying.

The 10th season of the Ultimate Fighter got under way last night and Rampage Jackson and Rashad Evans have the hate cranked to max for each other. Kimbo Slice may as well have walked in with a target on his back for how much the rest of the guys were fired up to take him out. Rumor has it he goes out in his first fight. Time will tell.

Speaking of "seasons" and T.V., the sixth season of The Office gets under way tonight. Can't say I get amped up for a lot of regular TV, but for The Office, I sure do.

The Dallas Cowboys opener of their new stadium, Cowboys Stadium, on Sunday night against the New York Giants will see over 100,000 in attendance, and may take a run at the league record of 103,467 set at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City in 2005 when the San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals tangled.

An aide to a U.S. politician rolled into Israel wearing a green Washington Nationals hat, and got a whole lot of attention from security there who questioned him about his hat repeatedly, and with more than a little hostility. Turns out the vaguely Arabic "W" on the front, combined with the green, had the security thinking it was a Palestinian/Hamas hat. The Natinals just can't get any love.

Have a great Thursday.
