I love TO's ankle!!!!!

It makes me laugh that so many media members are complaining that they are tired of all the talk about TO's ankle leading up to the Super Bowl.

Since TO is a person who feeds off of all the attention that the media has given him over the years, I find it laughable that the people that created this monster are already tiring of it.

And for those that think TO is selfish by trying to play hurt, I'd suggest that they look at what John Abraham sitting out did for the Jets in the playoffs. Personally, I can't believe that the 54th guy on the Eagles roster will contribute more than TO at x%.

Sosa to the Os

I bet Randy Johnson is looking through his contract for a strike out bonus.

Seriously, what are the Orioles thinking? A team that needed arms almost as badly as the Yankees and their big move of the offseason is getting a cut rate deal on a used up Sammy Sosa?

Oh wait, they need Sosa to combat the Washington Nationals. Riiiiiiiight...............................

Romeo to the Browns

For the sake of Romeo and the Browns fans, I hope this works out better than Belicheck's time running the Browns.

Romeo certainly deserves a shot at a head coaching job, but I' not going to annoint him a savior just yet.

Every "coaching family tree" turns out a few duds. And who knows if Cleveland, or Notre Dame for that matter, are going to get a dud of the litter of BB offspring?

The bigger question will whether or not the Patriots will suffer from brain drain and that will be what ultimately derails the Patriots dynasty. And while people like BB and Peter King don't want to call the Pats a dynasty after they win on Sunday, I'm going to.

Today's salary cap/free agency/parity party NFL is set up to make what the Patriots are currently doing al but impossible. And yet this team is going to win 3 out of 4 Super Bowls and have the core of their roster returning. Along with their head coach and personnel guru not looking to get out anytime soon.

Much to my wife's dismay..........

As the NHL doesn't turn

I'm honestly having a hard time figuring out which side is more idiotic in all this.

Is it Gary Bettman and the owners that refuse to set a deadling date that might get a deal done because the NHLPA wants a deadline?

Or is it Bob Goodenow and the NHLPA members that have chugged Bob's Kool Aid who think that the owners will cave if they call their bluff and let the season get nuked?

I can't believe that either side has yet to figure out that cancelling the season will shrink the business to the point that profits made whenever the league starts mack up won't be close to what they would have been had a comprimise deal been struck say in October or November.

My "I hate Larry Quinn" moment

Larry, back away from Hockey Hotline.

It's the best thing that's going about Sabres broadcasts.

It was even better when Brian Blessing was the one driving while Roby rode shotgun.

And I think everyone knows that the only people that need to be afraid of straight shooters are idiots who don't know what they are doing.

And I guess everyone knows where you fall now.
