It’s a rare Saturday night in the office. SEC championship (and BCS semifinal) game about to start. In high schools, Wilson just lost 38-35 in triple overtime to Bethel Park in the state AAAA semis. Both teams scored TDs in first two OTs. In the second Wilson faked an FG and threw a pass that got intercepted. Then BP got the ball, missed an FG, but Wilson ran into the kicker, who made it on the second try….
The worst part of this is that the Nittany Lion won’t get to go to the Rose Bowl. The second worst: He was nabbed at 3:15 a.m. the day of the Michigan State game. Which means he did 196 one-armed push-ups (if my math is correct) while, presumably, hung over. Nothing if not a gamer.
Not to overreact, but the Phillies have made an offer to Derek Lowe, who makes a lot of sense for them. There’s also a “mystery team” involved, and Lowe’s agent, the lovable Scott Boras, still hasn’t shopped Lowe to the Yankees and Red Sox, although he plans to. Adam Dunn would also be a nice fit with Pat Burrell out of the picture, which is why it concerns me to hear the GM say he wants to get more “athletic.” Too often athletic means “can’t hit”, or “doesn’t know a strike zone from a loading zone”.
Dubya/Cheney’s fade from public life has mercifully begun, but at least America still has Donovan McNabb to dump upon. I mean, Bernard Hopkins goes on the radio to hype a fight, and suddenly…
This Blake Griffin of Oklahoma can really play. In fact, you can’t stop him, you can only hope to, uh, well…. curtail his genetic dynasty?
