A few things that piqued my interest this morning:
1. Mike Sherman is defending Brett Favre, saying it's not his fault and how his QB "should be offended by all this retirement talk." Hey Mike, that's exactly why you don't belong in the NFL as a head coach -- you have no idea what you're talking about and you're not intelligent enough to know that keeping Favre around is costing you your job. Favre stinks. I don't care if he goes 15-1 for the Bears next year, he stinks. He's over and done with. Even dead bodies twitch and breathe a few more times before rigor mortis sets in. Brett's got a few twitches left before we should shovel dirt on him and move on...
2. The dismantling of the 2005 AL West Champion Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim continues. They traded CF Steve Finley to San Francisco for 3B Edgardo Alfonzo. Unless they've forgotten about Dallas McPherson, there's no place for Alfonzo to play. If they're planning on trading McPherson for a Tejada/Manny type of guy, that's one thing. But is Alfonzo who they really want in their lineup? He's a stiff (.672 OPS in 2005). I have NO IDEA what the Angels are doing. Do they?
3. Bernie re-signed with the Yankees for $1.5M. It's always awkward when a team and its fans send someone off with ovations and video tributes and then bring that someone back at 1/12th their previous salary. It's probably akin to leaving a company as senior vice president, getting a great party, and then coming back to run the mailroom. Welcome back Bernie. I wish you'd just retired...
4. Adam Morrison needs to shave. Someone MUST tell him to shave. There's funny facial hair meant as a joke and then there's the guy who actually thinks he's stylin'. To be honest, Adam Morrison looks like a rapist or child molester.
5. I hate hockey for having Todd Bertuzzi on the Canadian team going to the Winter Olympics in Turin in a few weeks. I'm sure he's a good player but the guy's a criminal. Should he really be rewarded in this way? Isn't it reward enough that he's not in jail like any normal person would be after brutally injuring someone and, in the process, ending their ability to make a living?
PS - Someone picked "The Natural" as their favorite baseball movie in that Poll of the Week thingie on the right. No disrespect to Roy Hobbs or Pop Fisher but there is no way in hell that those guys top Lou Brown and the guys from Major League. Lou Brown is the perfect mix of Joe Torre, Bobby Cox and Mike Hargrove. Best manager that ever lived.
