We go to replay...

See the finish to the Chicago Bulls and Denver Nuggets game last night? Check it out here.

Isn't the thought of the Toronto Maple Leafs staging an outdoor game at 20,000 seat BMO Field rather small time of the Leafs, especially when the rest are going to baseball and football stadiums? Bonus points, however, to Leafs GM Brian Burke calling Toronto the "centre of the hockey universe" which is laughable when you consider the only team that's ever been supported in decades is the Leafs. It is a wonder I give a lick about that team when you hear garbage like that.

This entry is brought to you by "The Office": guess you can't be that high on Germany's chances at the World Cup next year, not when their would-be starting keeper is jumping in front of trains to end it all.

Who else but the Washington Redskins would you pick to be looking at Larry Johnson as a running back option? The Oakland Raiders? That'd be about it, no?

Speaking of the Raiders, word is owner Al Davis is looking to fire coach Tom Cable with cause. Of course, it was Davis who asked at the presser introducing Cable as the team's coach who opened the media guide and turned to one of his yes-men and said "tell me about this guy", so he can't exactly claim they looked into his background much, that's the story coming from Mike Silver of Yahoo! Sports on The Jim Rome Show yesterday.

The Anaheim Angels are showing so little interest in re-signing John Lackey that one rival GM wonders if they know something about him - health, attitude - that the rest don't. A "red flag" he called it. If I'm given the choice to trade for Roy Halladay or sign John Lackey, I sign John Lackey.

If there is talk of Peter Forsberg making a comeback to the NHL, it must be mid-November. If it ended badly the last few times, I haven't a clue why teams think he'll suddenly find durability at 36.

Have a great Wednesday.
