The Buffalo Bills made it official and announced Chan Gailey as their next coach. Needless to say, Bills Fan is not impressed. Gailey may end up proving everyone wrong but after a few uninspired choices in the past, you'd think the Bills might try a different approach. And how do they not interview Brian Billick when he was practically advertising his interest in a sea of guys who didn't have interest? What, his resumé including a Super Bowl was too good for them? More likely, he wouldn't work for peanuts. Marty Schottenheimer also badly wanted the job, and while not a playoff commodity, he has repeatedly turned team's around, but Wilson nixed that idea. Mike Florio tells Bills Fan they could've done a lot worse than Gailey.
From the Lunch Bag Letdown Dept.: an article in yesterday's Toronto Star on Ana Ivanovic winning at the Aussie Open, coupled with a picture of Justine Henin.
Peter King at SI.com says it'll be an "upset" if there isn't a work stoppage in the 2011 NFL season and ProFootballTalk says a deal in the short term would give the owners what they want - a claw back on salaries and make up for what they've given up in the current deal - as the players would have to cave. Can't imagine that an 11th hour deal is much better, though surely the owners don't want to lose a season. I can't see Jerry Jones in Dallas risking hosting a Super Bowl that year, can you? Jones is one of the power brokers for the "have" side of ownership.
The same guy that told me how great he thinks fighting in hockey is with bare hands also told me he thinks MMA is essentially barbaric. Uh-huh.
After seven weeks with the public spotlight glaring down on him, Tiger Woods should be thanking NBC for the current Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien fiasco for pushing him into the background. For the record, Jay Leno is not funny, and if you like him, you're a loser.
The Seattle Mariners continued a productive off-season by inking King Felix Hernandez to a five-year $78 million deal. Hey, aren't they a "small" market team?
MacGruber, the movie. Enough said.
I find it hard to imagine that people take All-Star games seriously, especially when you see that in the NBA, Allen Iverson and worse, Tracy McGrady, are about to be voted in as starters. Pathetic. Fan voting sucks.
We are barely into 2010 and AskMen.com is already giving us the Top 99 Most Desirable Women for 2010. Definitely hard (that's what she said!) pressed to pick anyone over the #1 they've got in place.
Check out the dumbest, funniest quotes in sports. Or at least one take on that. Awesome stuff. Suppose none of these should surprise in the mental wasteland that is sports.
Get ready to buy some new gear, Liverpool fans. The Reds are moving from Carlsberg to Standard Chartered Bank, giving them the largest income from any shirt sponsor in the English Premier League at 4 years and £80m.
Have a great Wednesday.

Call me a loser, but I used to like Jay Leno better than quite a bunch of late night guys..like David Letterman and the Man Show person. I like people who are enthused. I don't watch tv to be serious.
Anyways, a quick curiosity question for you Mango: Do Croatians follow Eduardo like they do with other Croatians playing abroad? My friends and I got into a heated discussion last night on naturalized players. Korea is contemplating on naturalizing a Brazilian to play for the national team (after the World Cup). I said Korea as a whole is too xenophobic for it to happen but my friends were trying to argue back with "you never know.." comments.
As long as you're using past tense, we're good. :)
I can't speak for everyone, but I know myself and GBVH (my brother) sure treat him as one of our own and follow him as much as we do other guys playing abroad. Probably helps that he came up as a pro for the most part playing in Croatia so it wasn't some random guy showing up (like Deco for Portugal, say) looking to just make the move so he could play for a national team. He played for Dinamo Zagreb before he fell on the radar for the N.T. Hope that makes sense.
True story...when Eduardo nearly had his leg cut off after that nasty break, my kid was born the next day and I wanted to use Eduardo as a middle name. Wife won that argument, unfortunately.
Re: Ask Men.
No Aniston on that list?
A capital-lettered WTF? to that.
I know I am late to the party once again here, but c'mon GBVH... you think theres any chance Aniston was left off because that worn out whore has had so much Hollywood cock by now that her vagine must look like a punched out Arby's roast beef sandwich?
