…the above sequence might well have rendered Reggie Bush as popular as Michael Brown. Congrats to the Saints on advancing to their first NFC Championship game in franchise history.
(the correct playoff formula for Indy : more historic clutchiness from Adam Vinatieri, less liquored up idiocy from what’s-his-name)
Similar good tidings go out the Indianapolis…well….just the […]

From the Chicago Tribune :
NBA official Rodney Mott was suspended three games without pay Friday for making an obscene gesture toward a fan and also using inappropriate language.
Mott made the gesture and remarks after the Portland Trail Blazers’ 93-90 loss to the Miami Heat on Sunday night in Portland.
While I don’t wish to sound cavalier […]

(McGwire, looking a tad smaller since his playing days, though Bob Rock would like to get him back in the weight room)
In Saturday’s New York Times, Harry Stein observes “I happen to have a number of sportswriter friends, and used to do a fair amount of baseball writing, but you would be hard pressed to […]

Texas 80, Oklahoma 69
Most of what I wrote earlier regarding Greg Oden you can repeat for Texas’ Kevin Durant (above, right). Though I’ve seen few big men of any age who look as smooth putting the ball on the floor as Durant, nor many who’ve learned how to adjust to double teams as quickly. […]

Ohio State 68, Tennessee 66
Ron Lewis’s 3 with 10 seconds left might’ve provided the difference, but make no mistake, Greg Oden was the player of the game, the week and perhaps the next 10 years. To put it in as nice a way as possible, Oden is a goddamn monster. 24 points, 15 […]

You’ve probably already got things sorted, but just in case, by no means should you employ Michael Strahan’s laywers.

Without disputing the import of QPR losing to Hull earlier today, 2-1, a sad milestone in R’s history was marked earlier this week with the loan of striker Kevin Gallen to Plymouth Argyle.
Gallen seems to have fallen out of favor with Stupor Hoops manager John Gregory, and while his reunion with Ian Holloway may or […]

In case you were looking for clues on whether or not Brett Favre was returning to the gridiron next year, don’t let this one slip by you. Brett dropped his membership at the Oneida Golf & Country Club in Green Bay.
Bob Harlan, Packers CEO and a member at Oneida, said he first heard that Favre dropped his membership about two weeks ago.But Harlan said he wasn’t sure it was a sign that Favre was starting to break ties to Green Bay in anticipation of announcing his retirement.
Oh, I think it is, pal. I think it means that Brett Favre is gone. Either that, or he’s just tired that one greenskeeper who keeps winking at him and offering to wash his balls.
And I look forward to more stories like this, ones that try to contort the mundane details of Brett Favre’s life into a guess at whether or not he’s coming back. In a couple of weeks, someone will note that his maid has switched from 89-octane to 87-octane at the gas pump. Someone else will notice that his wife stopped going to her Tai Chi class. And the final straw will come when Brett starts putting on a shirt when he mows his lawn.
That guy’s never going to retire.
