Click on the photo for this week’s cheerleader match-ups.
Because why watch the game itself when the BCS is going to decide it all anyway?

What the hell planet is that from?
I’m a pretty big fan of Jason Terry the fantasy player. Every single year I think to myself “eh, Terry isn’t all that great but every single year the guy becomes a great asset to any fantasy squad.
He’s a gret source of three’s, FT% and even steals. He’ll get you some assists and he makes a great small guy addition to a contending team.
But I have to admit if there’s one reason and one reason alone to NOT have Terry on your fantasy team? It’s this Yahoo Sports profile. Seriously guys, what the hell is going on here? I refuse to believe that Terry’s head is this big. This is truly something out of a Steven Spielberg movie.
So I did some research. Is Terry’s head really this big? Unfortunately yes.
Mike Edwards playing for Cleveland Glenville High School
Mike Edwards is a defensive back for the Tennessee Volunteers. You might not have heard much about him as his playing time has been limited. Nevertheless, the guy is getting a scholarship to play football with a good program, and he’s a freshman, so better days could be ahead… well… could have been ahead.
Tennessee freshman defensive back Mike Edwards, a 2009 Cleveland Glenville High graduate, was among three Tennessee football players arrested this morning in Knoxville on attempted armed robbery charges.
The word idiot fails to live up to the bar Mike Edwards has reached. Let’s follow the logic of a robbery.
One robs a place, because they have no other source of income in most circumstances. Sure Edwards isn’t getting paid to play football at Tennessee, but he’s getting that scholarship, isn’t he? There’s your money right there, Edwards.
It might not seem like he’s getting paid, but believe me, when it comes time to pay student loans one notices how expensive college really is when not blessed with D-1 athletic ability. Perhaps Edwards, though, will now get to experience paying for college and a lawyer. Way to think that through.

I like Griffey a lot and if he wants to keep playing baseball, he should.
Griffey Jr. will be returning for his 22nd major league season. Terms of the deal were not announced, but it’s likely that the contract will be similar to the incentive-based deal he had with the Mariners last season. Griffey Jr.’s role with the team is still uncertain, but it’s a good bet that he’ll split his playing time between left field and designated hitter.
I wish him well, but I wonder how much more his body can take. There are 7th-year running backs in the NFL who have suffered less damage to their bodies than Griffey has. My guess is that – despite the above report – he’ll just part-time DH; I can’t imagine him playing the field. Hopefully he can help out some of the younger kids and hit a home run or two in what is likely his final season.
Still, this guy has got the absolute worst luck when it comes to staying healthy. It’s like he’s the star of a Final Destination movie. If a piano dropped out of the sky and onto his head, I wouldn’t even flinch.
Good luck, Griff.
Posted on the Kansas City Chiefs’ home page is the following video, in which the team spoofs “30 Rock”:
If the Chiefs spent as much time practicing as they did….ah, never mind. I’m just really disappointed that I didn’t get to see Larry Johnson as Tracy Jordan.
You don’t see this very often.
Back in 2007, Rick Morrissey of the Chicago Tribune claimed he would eat his column with salsa on it if Noah even proved to be “useful” as a player on the Bulls.
Well not only did he talk the talk, he walked the walk. He literally slathers his column with salsa and then proceeds to eat it with Noah getting his respect throughout (the actual eating takes place at the 5:00 mark).
I for one cannot even believe that Noah is doing this well. And I’m sure our boy Madison is gloating because he took him in our fantasy draft.
Let’s just say that no one in the free world expected an 11 pt and 13 rebound average. Shooting the way he does and being just so “missing linkish?” it’s just really hard to imagine this guy knows what he’s doing on the court.
But one has to admit that Noah has gotten it figured out. At least for the first 10 games.
Morrissey, I’m right there with ya buddy. Pass me the Salsa.

It’s no secret that the top college football programs will shell out some serious coin for the top coaches. We’re Americans and winning is everything. It’s the same in any sport. If you win, we (the fans) could careless about your bloated salary. Loose, and we’ll go so far as to blame the downfall of the economy on you.
Granted it’s not nearly as bad in college football as it is in any professional sport (looking at you A-Rod), but for the sake of making fans of these losing programs feel better, here are 5 college football coaches you can blame the downfall of the economy on.
And by that, I mean free agent Chone Figgins:
CHICAGO — Though they are fixated on adding a power bat such as Matt Holliday’s or Jason Bay’s, the Mets are in the words of an involved party “absolutely in” on free agent Chone Figgins.
One Mets official said Figgins would be “hard to fit” into their current situation. Translation: It would be a whole lot easier if they could trade the two years and $12 million left on Luis Castillo’s contract to create money and a second base opening for Figgins.
Obviously the Castillo contract is terrible, but since when are the Mets worried about money? First they say they aren’t interested in Lackey, and now it’s Castillo that may be holding up their acquisition of a good player? Weird.
Anyway, for the sake of the rest of us, something needs to be done about this whole alternate spelling of names. Chone? What’s wrong with Shawn or Sean? Because to me, it’s bullshit to spell your name one way and pronounce it another. Hi, my name is Maddizzo45n.
At least it’s not Craphonso or D’Brickashaw. I work with a lot of malpratice attorneys named D’Brickashaw. Tons of ‘em.
