WEEK 2 FANTASY RANKINGS DEGENERATE CENTRAL2007 FANTASY FOOTBALL IS HERE: QUARTERBACKS | RUNNING BACKS | WIDE RECEIVERS | TIGHT ENDS/KICKERS | TEAM DEFENSES DALLAS MORNING NEWS SITE: This is a well-done fantasy section I found, lot of rankings updated to the minutes - writer also going big on some sleepers I happen to like and thinks highly of wide receivers such as Craig Davis (SD), Vincent Jackson (SD), and James Jones (GB) HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM: Wait a minute, we cannot be showing that - we cannot give additional publicity to the reprehensible actions to the degenerate youth of America. But as much as the TV telecasts try not to show the footage, the actions of ham-n-eggers running onto the field (such as three who went off in a coordinated event in Houston the other night) are shown frequently on Youtube and if a 'fan' is really lucky AP may even take a picture of it. And a lot of them are pretty good at eluding security for a while, often making authorities looking as bad as the Cincinnati Bengals defense. But no mistake, run on the field and you will eventually go down, and go down hard, as security as full license to plow you just in case you have intentions more evil than just making a spectacle of yourself. And then what happens??? A night in jail for sure which can be no fun. And then the fines come, word has it a typical offense runs well in excess of over $1,000.00. Then the offense goes on one's criminal record, and employers kind of like to do background checks. And then you might even get a letter from the local ballclub or even MLB asking you not to attend any other games in the future. It seems like the cons outweigh the pros on this one...HISTORIC RED SOX COLLAPSE??? What was once a 14 game lead over the New York Yankees is shrunk to mere 1 1/2 game margin after three-game sweep in Toronto. If this were 1978 and there were no Wild Card, this might be a story. But with nine games left in the season, Boston holds a commanding seven game lead next to their closest perusers, so the Red Sox will be in the post-season. But then what??? Man Ram doesn't sound close to returning, Dice-K has hit the wall (I thought they threw 180 pitches in a game with no sweat in Japan), the bullpen a mess, and Francona not able to manage his way out of a paper bag, it may indeed be a very brief post-season in Boston. SERIAL HEADHUNTER SUSPENDED SEVEN GAMES: Texas Rangers pitcher Vicente Padilla punished for touching off bench clearing brawl by hitting Oakland's Nick Swisher, the third consecutive day he had been dotted and the third pitch that went inside on Swisher during this particular at-bat. You know that you aren't a big favorite when even your manager doesn't have your back, as Rangers manager Ron Washington asked that Padilla apologize to his teammates for his actions. Not only did five relievers from an already overworked bullpen get forced into action, but teammates Hank Blalock and Jarrod Saltalamacchia suffered neck injuries trying to pull the combatants apart, Salty's injury was described as whiplash. In addition another Rangers pitcher suffered a twisted ankle when he was stepped on during the brawl. Five pitchers used plus three injuries, that's a toll. Padilla leads all of MLB in hit batsman since 2002 and was already being watched by the league office after dotting Vladimir Guerrero and another Anaheim Angels player during a recent game.  ANGRY JUICE SURFACES ON AUDIO TAPE: In a tape that you are sure to hear again and again and again - an irate O.J. Simpson is heard to say 'THINK YOU CAN STEAL MY SH*T AND GET AWAY WITH IT???'. In a later newspaper interview, Juice is quoted as saying 'I'm O.J. Simpson, how am I going to think that I'm going to rob somebody and get away with it. I thought what happened in Las Vegas stays in Las Vegas'. Perhaps, unless your name happens to be O.J. Simpson or Mike Tyson. Meanwhile, experts say that Simpson's biggest potential problem is that one of the other suspects has already made a plea and would testify against the Juice in court, and that others could follow.JON KITNA CREDITS 'MIRACLE': Thought to be all but declared out for the game after second quarter concussion, Kitna leads Lions to overtime victory over Minnesota. Kitna says he was definitely in a haze after second quarter hit but says 'I've never felt anything like that, and for it to clear up and go right back to as normal as I can be, is nothing short of a miracle. I just definitely feel the hand of God. That's all it was. You can't explain it. I have no headaches, no symptoms, no lingering effects. But that was the worst my head has ever felt, and the worse my memory was in the second quarter. Yet, after halftime there was nothing'. Maybe because there was nothing there to begin with (old Bobby Heenan joke)?? It is said that Kitna passed a follow-up test Monday morning and should play this coming week. Now Andre Johnson needs a miracle on his knee. LAMBEAU FIELD SECURITY SCARE: Like a Virgin Islands TV station I'm a week behind on this. Confusion reigned at Lambeau Field after a sprinker system went off near a concession stand just minutes before the Packers were to open their 2007 regular season. The sprinkler going off activated a recorded evacuation alert that was heard throughout the stadium, leaving many fans confused. Those that were adhering to the message and attempted to leave were apparently told that they would not be allowed to re-enter. The message was finally turned off, but many fans were not able to get back to their seats before the opening kickoff. The Eagles had a similar problem in their stadium a couple years back when sirens began to sound right smack in the middle of a game. Imagine the potential chaos had it been a legitimate emergency. CARDS FREEFALL CONTINUES: Team is 1-9 and Rick Ankiel is 4-33 with no RBI in the ten games since he was accused of ordering HGH. You might want to believe this is all coincidental, but is it possible that Ankiel may become a head case just like he became a head case while pitching seven years ago??? Meanwhile former Card Jason Marquis says he doesn't take any extra pride out of beating his old team but adds 'Obviously it's big because it slowly takes them out of the equation' I wouldn't exactly call the Cards exit slow. O.J. ARRESTED, NO BAIL: Police arrested Juice on Sunday saying he was part of an armed group who burst into a Las Vegas hotel room and snatched memorabilia that documented his football career. Simpson was taken away from a Vegas hotel handcuffed and wearing a golf shirt and jeans. The DA says he expected Simpson to ultimately be charged with seven felonies as well as one gross misdemeanor. Each felony count could carry a sentence of up to 30 years behind bar. JETS WANT FURTHER INVESTIGATION ON PATRIOTS: NBC reporting during Sunday Night game that Jets are alleging that Patriots defensive players had radio frequencies during last weeks game, which was used to get some of the Jets line calls. This is in addition to the camera penalty that the Patriots have already been busted on. Of course only one offensive player is allowed radio communication, usually the quarterback and identified as such by the green dot on the back of the helmet.  JUICE SUSPECT IN CASINO BREAK-IN: Investigators questioned O.J. Simpson and named him a suspect Friday in a break-in at a casino hotel room involving sports memorabilia. The break-in was reported at the Palace Station casino late Thursday night, according to a police spokesman who said investigators determined the break-in involved sports collectibles. Simpson was released after he and several associates were questioned, but is considered a suspect in the case. Juice is still believed to be in the Las Vegas area. Simpson has had to auction off his sports collectibles in the past, including his Heisman Trophy, to pay off some of the $33.5 million judgment awarded to the Ron Goldman family.RIP CITY DISASTER, ODEN OUT FOR YEAR: Well that tonsillectomy may not have been too big a deal but this certainly is. An exploratory procedure turned into microfracture knee surgery, knocking NBA #1 overall draft pick Greg Oden out of action for 6-12 months. Oden came out of Ohio State with a laundry list of physical problems, including one leg one inch shorter than the other leg. DAVID BOSTON CUT BY BUCS: Pink slip comes two days after police report that Boston had GHB (date rate drug) in his system when found slumped over the wheel last month. GHB is used as a sedative and also for body building, possibly explaining why Boston would have an interest in the durg. Among other things, GHB is known as 'liquid ecstasy', 'soap,' and "Georgia home boy.' TERESA SABOTAGING JUNIOR'S MOTORS!?!? Never mind Building 7 and the Grassy Knoll, the best conspiracy theories these days are coming from the world of NASCAR. A lame duck driver getting second hand equipment??? That's never happened before!!! Try putting in your two-week notice at work at see how much your boss listens to you in your final days. We all know Teresa is a battle axe but this is a little over the top. I think the bigger question is how they can't run 400 miles without the $2 valves breaking on 5-6 cars and sending hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of merchandise behind the wall. And then I'm supposed to go to the dealer and plunk $30,000 for a brand new Ford, Chevy, Dodge, or Toyota. It almost wants me want to go the Amish horse and buggy route. Meanwhile I'm going to take my bullhorn and go Jimmy Hart shouting my theory in front of the DEI headquarters, I've got 659 pages of proof on this website that Teresa has been doing in Junior - and watch for my new film 'TERESA EARNHARDT, THE ROAD TO TYRANNY' - coming soon!!!!! FIRED DRIVERS FILE LAWSUIT: Sterling Marlin, Joe Nemechek, and their crew chiefs sue the former Ginn Racing operation, saying they are still owed money. Meanwhile Ginn says he has already payed off a severance package to the parties involved. Now we know Ginn turned out to be a fly-by-night operation, but what did Nemechek and Marlin expect??? They were battling for 30th place every week. Did they think they were getting a contract extension??? Even Ozzie Guillen thinks that's over the top. NASCAR should be renamed WHY-DL, or What Have You Done Lately.GLOBAL WARMING RESULTS IN PGA TOUR DEBACLE: In the final insult to the Fedex Cup Championship (they should be glad everyone is watching football), the Pro-Am was cancelled and even the practice rounds were going to be scrapped as the Tour said that the greens at the East Lake/Atlanta course were just too damaged after a hot summer. Organizers later relented, and are now allowing practice on 15 of the 18 greens. Although 30 golfers are playing in the Tour Championship, only six can mathematically claim the Cup, although sixth-place Aaron Baddeley needs to win while somebody sabatoges Tiger's scorecard and gets him disqualified - and that's why Steve Williams plays bouncer.  POTENTIALLY GREAT NEWS FOR EVERETT: Bills tight end now showing voluntary movement in his arms and legs, and doctor IS now optimistic that Everett will walk again. A Buffalo TV station also reports that Everett's latest MRI shows only a small amount of swelling on his spinal cord. Emergency personnel immediately injecting Everett with steroids (imagine the irony) along with injecting a saline that immediately chilled Everett (similar to putting an ice pack on the entire body) is being in part credited with the apparent remarkable recovery thus far.PATRIOT GAMES - DID SPYING OCCUR LAST YEAR??? According to news reports, the Patriots are accused of placing a video photographer on the sideline of their game against the Jets Sunday in the Meadowlands in an attempt to steal signals. Jets security caught the photographer aiming his camera at Jets defensive coaches on the field and confiscated the video. But now word comes out about a similar incident in Green Bay last year, where someone with an official Patriots pass was allegedly also caught filming, and was told by Packers security to put the camera down. In that case the Packers did not confiscate the video tape. Commissioner Goodell could drop the hammer down on the New England organization possibly as early as the end of the week - and punishment could involve loss of MULTIPLE draft picks.  EVERETT INJURY DESCRIBED AS 'CATASTROPHIC': Injury of Bills tight end suffered during Sunday's second-half opening kickoff described as 'life-threatening' and catastrophic. Everett was reported to have been in surgery in wire reports as early as 5:42 PM, approximately three hours after he was injured. Everett was said to have been in surgery for four hours and that chances for a full neurological recovery are 'bleak' and dismal'. Everett suffered a break between the third and fourth vertebrae and also needed a bone graft and four screws were inserted. Doctors caution Everett's injury remained life-threatening, saying the player is still susceptible to blood clots, infection and breathing failure. RESUSCITATED IN AMBULANCE: According to Doc, 'We commenced resuscitation in the ambulance. We commenced flushing his body with cold fluids to lower his temperature. Time was of the essence.' Doc added that 'urgent decompressive surgery' was needed. EVERETT INJURY STARK REMINDER FOR PLAYERS: Sign affixed to the walls of all 32 NFL locker rooms warns 'See What You Hit...' Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy recently helped on a DVD being distributed to high schools across the country that shows the possible effects of bad tackling, paralysis and possibly even brain damage.WITH LITTLE WRESTLING, PACMAN WINS TITLE: Would 'little wrestling' kind of be like being 'slightly pregnant'??? Pacman Jones became one-half of TNA's tag-team champions during a pay-per-view Sunday night. Now without watching the match, take a guess on how that might have happened.....You guessed it, partner did the dirty work and Pacman only got tagged in to make the cover after the opponent got knocked out. Writing wrestling scripts for a living has to be a nice gig.  CODE BLUE - MICHIGAN, NOTRE DAME REMAIN WINLESS: Sounds like former coach Bo Schembechler's timing in cashing out on the eve of the Ohio State game last year was impeccable, as Michigan has been 0-4 since, with Saturday's 39-7 home loss at the hands of Oregon perhaps being even more humiliating than the Appalachian State loss, if that can even be possible. It marks Michigan's worst defeat since the infamous 50-14 loss to Ohio State in 1968 where the Buckeyes went for two late because as Woody Hayes said later 'I couldn't go for three'. Michigan gets equally inept Notre Dame next week, could be the preview of a dream matchup for the International Bowl. NO BULL, SOUTH FLORIDA WINS AT AUBURN: It doesn't look like there will be any mid-majors crashing the BCS party this year, as the most likely possibilities all failed in their bids to beat BCS conference teams on the road. Boise St. saw their 14-game winning streak come to an end as a resurgent Washington team dumped them 24-10. TCU and BYU did have Texas and UCLA, respectively, on the run but both Mountain West representatives wound up falling short in the end. Hawaii no doubt loss potential voters as well after barely surviving their arena-ball like tilt at Louisiana Tech 45-44. The best mid-major performance may have come out of Pat Hill's rebuilding Fresno St. squad, who finally fell in a 3-OT thriller at Texas A&M 47-45. There was one Cinderella darling who did pull off the upset as upstart Big East representative South Florida scored a 26-23 overtime win at Auburn - a venue where the Florida Gators themselves were upended last year. 28,000 PACK APP-STATE GAME: If you're playing a Division 2 foe a week after beating Michigan and are now getting votes in the AP Poll, I say you better win. Going from the role of underdog to bully, Appalachian State blows out overmatched foe 48-7. LPGA EVENT SHORTENED TO 18 HOLES: Is it just me or does five inches of rain fall every day in Arkansas?? Get it - ARK-ansas. An LPGA tournament scheduled for this weekend has been shortened from 54 to 18 holes due to the relentless precipitation. Most of the field did manage to finish their first rounds, they are the lucky ones, they don't have to come back to a course that officials admit will still be mostly unplayable. For you fans who might want to see the dramatic conclusion, forget about it - the public is not allowed access due to flooded parking lots and other safety hazards. Michelle Wie should have entered - she would had probably won.RICK ANKIEL - THE UN-NATURAL??? Could the 'too good to be true' story of Rick Ankiel be exactly that - too good to be true??? The already roller-coaster career of the pitching phenom turned hitter reached perhaps it's highest peak and deepest low yet in a matter of hours Thursday. Just after I raved about Ankeil and his 63 HR/200 RBI pace last night a New York Post bombshell reveals that Ankiel allegedly received a 12-month supply of HGH in 2004. The article then goes on to say that Ankiel was off HGH by the time it was officially banned by baseball in 2005. Many are bashing the timing of the story as a piece of ambush journalism, while other writers are already piling on Ankiel. It will be interesting to hear the responses of Ankiel and manager Tony LaRussa (if there are any) in the next 24 hours. UPDATE - TROY GLAUS ALSO CALLED OUT: In the same probe on the Florida pharmacy that has singled out Ankiel along with NFL safety Rodney Harrison and Dallas Cowboys quarterback coach Wade Wilson, it is now also revealed that 2002 World Series MVP Troy Glaus received Nandrolone and testosterone between September 2003 and May 2004. The latest report also has former big-league pitcher Steve Woodard receiving steroids and HGH. Woodard and Ankiel were both teammates at AAA Memphis in 2004. And that isn't even all, it is also said that George Mitchell would like to speak to upwards of 45 current and former major leaguers as part of his investigation into PED's. What did Caminiti say once, 80 percent of the players were on something??? He may not have been far off.COLLEGE QB TO BE CHARGED IN DEATH OF PRO SURFER: While Appalachian State basks in the glory of their win over Michigan, another top 1-AA program has to deal with their backup quarterback being charged in a homicide case. Henri Hendricks, 21, is charged with murder, assault, and battery in the beating death of professional surfer Emery Kauanui. Police allege that Hendricks and four other men beat Kauanui at the surfers home on May 24th. Kauanui died as a result of the beating several days later. Police allege that Hendricks and the other defendants are members of a gang known as the Bird Rock Bandits (sounds like a good fantasy team name), something defense lawyers deny. VERNON DAVIS 'NEWS': To tell you how much in the high-rent district 49ers tight end is, a brief nugget has Davis dating Serena Williams. Obviously the possibilities of any potential offspring is off the charts - but that's kind of like putting the 49ers in the NFC Championship before the season even starts. If I recall correctly, one of the Williams sisters was said to be with LaVarr Arrington a few years back. |
