KAC'S WEEK 3 FANTASY RANKINGS ARE HERE. 7-1-1 IN COLLEGE LOCKS THUS FAR... And not one, but TWO more big stone cold locks for this weekend. Get that, along with my other college picks and Week 3 NFL in DENGENERATE CENTRAL.  TIE DOMI DROPS THE GLOVES IN HIGH-PROFILE DIVORCE: Recently retired NHL enforcer Tie Domi and his estranged wife have reached a temporary settlement in their high-profile divorce - but the name that has set off a media frenzy was not heard from in court. The 'other' woman is this triangle is said to be Canadian Parliament member Belinda Stronach. The former conservative raised a furor in the political arena a couple years back by 'crossing the floor', making a pro wrestling-like heel-turn (or face-turn depending on your perspective) and becoming a liberal. Stronach's 180 ended a 'relationship' with fellow Conservative Peter MacKay, who is now the foreign minister. MacKay ended up venting his spleen over the heartbreak in a number of media interviews. DRUDGE HEADLINE - T.O. TRIED TO DO HIMSELF IN... I smelt something potentially up that alley after hearing that Terrell Owens was in the ER last night and docs were trying to 'induce vomiting'. Reports during the night downplayed the story, saying that Owens merely had an allergic reaction to pain medication. Now they are saying that Owens indeed attempted suicide, and was even trying to pop two more pills in his mouth as rescuers arrived. Owens told rescuers that he had just taken up to 30 pills in the bottle. Owens was expected back in the Cowboys lineup for this Sunday's game in Tennessee, with a date in Philly the week after that. I don't think you will see him in any of those two games for obvious reasons.CHARGER ARRESTED AT PRACTICE!!! Well it didn't take long for the first NFL player to get into hot water during a bye week. Safety Terrence Kiel joins teammate Steve Foley in legal trouble after SEVERAL DEA agents appeared at the Chargers' practice facility with an arrest warrant, searched Kiel's locker and car and then yanked the player right from the field in the MIDDLE OF PRACTICE. Kiel was released on $150,000 bond and has contacted the team. The organization released a statement saying they are 'aware of an off-the-field situation' involving Kiel but for the time being are withholding comment. STEVE FOLEY, DAY 25 - ACLU GETS INVOLVED: That's as opposed to UCLA. Officials with the San Diego chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union are accusing prosecutors and law enforcement of running a 'smear campaign' in regards to the Steve Foley shooting. ACLU officials said information about Foley's past run-ins with police should not have been included in a search warrant affidavit and also said it was inappropriate for the investigator in the DA's Office to speculate that steroids may have been a factor in Foley's rage.ARE CARDS MUCKING THEIR HAND??? St. Louis' NL Central lead down to 1 1/2 games PREP PLAYER CHEATS DEATH: It looks like a potentially tragic situation in Texas will have a happy ending. A medical drama unfolded when 6'6" 300 lb lineman Matt Nader collapsed and went into cardiac arrest not long after being on the field for a 16-play drive on a typically hot September night. Nader's mother, a doctor, along with other doctors who were parents of players assisted in resuscitation efforts until an AED device was brought in from behind the bench. Nader appeared to be a goner before before his chest was zapped with 200 joules of electricity. Nader regains counsciousness soon after and after being loaded into an ambulance asks 'Did I get to play???' Now with an internal defibrilator inserted, Nader is done with football - but the University of Texas, to whom he had orally committed, will honor his scholarship. SO YOU REALLY WANT TO BE A CADDY??? Just be sure to hand the man the right club. In the midst of being blown out in the finals of the World Match Play Championship, Shaun Micheel overclubs and the balls flies over the green. On the way to the next tee, Micheel reportedly lashes out on his 46-year old caddy saying, 'Don't you say another f***ing thing all day after the sh*t you gave me back there. As far as I am concerned, you can take the rest of the year off.' Dude, you lost 10 and 8 - don't blame it all on the man on your bags... CHRIS HENRY, ODELL THURMAN BACK IN DRINKING NEWS!!! \Odell Thurman celebrates his team's win in Pittsburgh by getting arrested for blowing a .18 at 3 AM Monday morning. Also in the car was Mr. police blotter Chris Henry himself, along with another teammate - Henry reportedly threw up out of the car window while his buddy Thurman was being arrested. The latest incident comes less than a week after commissioner Roger Goodell visited Cincinnati and reminded players of their responsibility to stay out of trouble and represent the league honorably. Already serving a four-game suspension for substance abuse, coach Marvin Lewis expects Thurman to be suspended for the balance of the season. Just don't ask me why Henry and Koren Robinson continue to play. Pittsburgh Steeler players and fans have to be busting a gut right now STOCK CAR FRACAS: If you think some of the shenanigans involving Tony Stewart, Kevin Harvick, and others on the Cup circuit are something - then check out what goes on at your local track sometime. About a year ago I showed the picture of a North Carolina racer who got busted up by some rivals after a featured event. Then there's what happened at a Toledo, OH bullring over the weekend. A car driven by Michael Simko hit the wall while dueling for position with Don St. Denis. Simko gets out of his car and TAKES A RUNNING LEAP, jumping with both feet THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD of DSD's car. Simko then falls to the ground, gets up and hurls his helmet at DSD, who's still in his seat. After race officials ordered Simko to the infield, DSD gets out of the car and chases Simko. The two throw several punches at each other before being separated. The drivers have been suspended indefinitely - hell, they'll probably be whitewater rafting together next weekend. MADDEN JINX STRIKES SHAUN ALEXANDER: 'Bruised foot' now called a 'non-displaced fracture - out indefinitely.  GRUDEN - 'I DIDN'T KNOW...' In what has to be the most courageous effort since Darrell Bevell tried finishing his University of Wisconsin career finale with a bruised kidney a few years back, Chris Simms finishes Tampa Bay's game with what turned out to be a busted spleen. A very scary story, especially considering that a couple of early reports had Simms to be in critical condition. Says coach Jon Gruden, 'He's a tough guy. There's been people out there that have questioned his toughness (Steve Young??) Those people hopefully were silenced yesterday' CHRIS SIMMS PHOTO GALLERY OTHER NFL CASUALTIES: Alex Smith and Frank Gore both banged up in 49ers loss. Steve McNair will be on the injury report (what else is new??) after taking his own pounding. Also bad news for New England, they lose Corey Dillon. Finally Kurt Warner has apparently committed one turnover too many, Matt Leinart is said to be getting the start next Sunday.ANOTHER TRAGEDY IN COLTS ORGANIZATION: The brother of Indianapolis Colts receiver Reggie Wayne was killed Sunday when the delivery truck he was driving crashed into a highway guardrail in suburban New Orleans. Rashad Wayne was pronounced dead at the scene according to a police spokesman. Police responded to a call at 10:15 a.m. CT Sunday about a wreck on westbound Interstate 10. Officers found a produce truck stopped in the highway's right lane and found the 32-year-old Wayne in the cab with a severe head injury. A preliminary investigation determined that the truck fishtailed across three lanes before hitting the guardrail. Wayne did play in the Colts 31-24 home win over Jacksonville, apparently not informed until after the game. IDIOTIC COMMENT ALERT: While showing a highlight of Koren Robinson (whose problems have been well documented) catching a pass, NBC's Cris Collinsworth suggests that Koren might celebrate 'by having a couple drinks'. Thanks for the insight, why does that clown still have a job in TV. 18-9-1 AGAIN: Euros score second dominating Ryder Cup win in a row, Darren Clarke leads emotional celebration. MT. STEWART ERUPTS??? Tony Stewart goes to the garage along with championship contender Kasey Kahne after early tangle in Dover. Yahoo Raceflash reports that Stewart angrily threw his helmet at his battered car then 'exchanges words' with a photographer (developing)  PICTURE OF THE DAY!!! The Cleveland Browns may have lost last week, but at least they got their licks in on a bloodied Chad Johnson. I'm sure the Steelers would like to force Chad into making another 'donation' today, which leads to my 'Mega-Lock' in DEGENERATE CENTRAL.RAVENS TEAM BUSES COLLIDE??? Baltimore paper reports that the buses made contact on the way to the airport. As if he doesn't get hurt enough already, Steve McNair is listed as among the players who were 'jarred'. Also fantasy footballers be aware that tight end Todd Heap somehow sprained his ankle 'stretching at home'. I'm not going to speculate on a smoking gun on that one. MORE CRICKETS CHIRP... 'Bonds hits one to deep right center field, deep, deep, deep, deep.....HE DID IT!!! HE DID IT!!! NO WAIT, SOMEONE DISCONNECTED MY MIKE!!!!' Miller Park falls 11,000 short of capacity on a night where true history was made, as Barry Bonds becomes the all-time National League home run king. Furthermore, you had to wait until the 17TH paragraph of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel's game story for any mention of the historic event. On the national level, Michigan State's fourth quarter meltdown v. Notre Dame and the Americans being routed at the Ryder Cup created a much bigger buzz. At least I know someone named Eileen who was fired up about it... THE UNTHINKABLE HAPPENED AGAIN... Upon first hearing about the Dodgers remarkable comeback Monday night (see Youtube video above) I could only help but wonder how the various radio and TV announcers in San Diego and Los Angeles called it. I figured Ted Leitner (Padres radio voice) would be something like 'I saw it but I still don't beleive it, but give them credit...'. I imagined Matt Vasgersian (Padres TV) would had been 'You got to be sh*tting me' while finally Vin Scully would somehow remain composed while painting the picture that something just unbelievable had occurred. It sounds like I wasn't too far off the mark in all three cases, here are the transcripts of the final three home runs. Incidentally, I'm sure you all see those signs at the gates that say 'NO RE-ENTRY, NO EXCEPTIONS', well after the fourth home run stadium operations let everyone back in who wished to do so. I HEAR CRICKETS... Bonds ties Aaron's NL home run record in Milwaukee. REPORT - GIRARDI OUT IN FLORIDA: In case you haven't been following the story, Girardi has been on the outs with owner Jeffrey Loria for something - I'm guessing just winning too much with a $15 million payroll, and thus causing average attendence to soar to over 7,000 per game (sounds like a plot from Major League). I guess nothing is going to stop Loria from becoming the owner who ran two franchises into extinction. Meanwhile look for the NL Manager of the Year favorite to land on his feet in about two seconds, either as the Cubs skipper or Joe Torre's eventual successor with the Yankees. MORE CHEATING ALLEGATIONS AGAINST RCR: More proof of what life's like when your driver is in first place. A former employee of Richard Childress Racing says in a wrongful termination lawsuit that the team used illegal engine modifications at this year's Daytona 500 events, including the car of polesitter Jeff Burton. Responding to the report Thursday night, Childress called the allegations 'absolutely untrue' adding that the cars passed both pre and post race inspection. Both Burton and Kevin Harvick denied the accusations during qualifying day at Dover - the normally unflappable Burton was uncharacteristically pissed, saying 'If you believe that, you’re best served leaving the sport. You’re best served not being part of it because if our sport doesn’t have credibility, if our sport doesn’t have respect, if our sport doesn’t have the ability to separate fact from fiction then our sport is in major, major trouble'. Memo to Denny Hamlin, don't horseplay with the RCR drivers this weekend.SUSPENSIONS COME DOWN IN BEANBALL ROW... I kind of noticed that they ran out of the humidor-soaked baseballs at Coors Field this week. Jose Mesa and Jamey Wright both draw three game suspensions for plunking batters during one of the slugfests. Now Mesa plunking someone isn't a surprise, the surprise is that he didn't nail Omar Vizquel, who Mesa has had a bullseye on ever since Omar ripped him in a book over Game 7 of the 1997 World Series. As far as Jamey Wright is concerned, if a batter got plunked by him, would he even know it??? And would facing Jamey Wright in Coors Field be any different than batting practice??? HAZING ALLEGATIONS AT VERMONT SCHOOL... Allegations concerning Lyndon State's rugby team results in suspension of their season. The college says it is still investigating reports that the Rugby team participated in hazing and underage drinking earlier this month, and had turned up enough information to warrant the temporary season suspension. Rugby team hazing??? Naw, that's about as shocking as hazing on a water polo team. CFL PLAYER FINED FOR KICK: Canadian football news has been slow ever since Ricky Williams landed on the shelf, but here you go - Edmonton Eskimos linebacker A.J. Gass has been fined an unspecified amount by the CFL for kicking a player. The incident occurred on the final play of Saturday's 27-22 loss to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Gass kicked Hamilton slotback Brock Ralph in anger for attempting a chop-block on one of Gass's teammates. Gass showed no remorse for his actions saying 'If I would have done nothing, that would've completely showed that we are pushovers and do not have each other's back. We are a brotherhood, we are nasty and we are Eskimos - and that's how I approach every game.' Gass added taht his team is sensitive about chop-blocks after defensive back Kelly Wiltshire suffered a career-threatening knee injury on a low block in a game a few weeks back. DARREN SHARPER TAKES SHOT AT PACKERS GM... Vikings safety Darren Sharper admits he feels bad for his former teammates in Green Bay, but that sympathy does not extend to a front office run into the ground by general manager Ted Thompson. Says Sharper, '" have friends over there playing and I don't like to see them struggling like this, and it really bothers me to see Brett (Favre) struggling at the end of a legendary career. But it's one of those things, if you dig your grave, and the decisions you make. You're going to have to deal with the consequences.' Favre and teammate Ryan Longwell are among those who have exited Green Bay, along with offensive linemen Mike Wahle and Marco Rivera. FAVRE SAYS MID-SEASON TRADE 'NOT LIKELY': Just the fact that he addressed the issue has to tell you something though. Favre recently said that he's '99.9 percent sure' he will retire as a Packers - key word is 99.9 as opposed to 100.ANOTHER BADGER IN TROUBLE... A University of Wisconsin football player is suspended for this Saturday's game at Michigan after getting in trouble with the law in relation to a missing moped. Sophomore Elijah Hodge, 20, was arrested on Tuesday near the practice facilities after police said that he was climbing onto a moped that had been reported stolen. Hodge is the younger brother of former University of Iowa standout and current Green Bay Packer Abdul Hodge. Not quite Booker Stanley or even Nick Davis/Best Buy stuff but there you go. TOP-20 RANKINGS: Wisconsin is going to need a huge upset at Michigan to crack the top-25 rankings. But the Princeton Review already has UW top-20 in a number of activities, ranking the school #1 in the category of 'Lots of Beer', #5 in 'Lots of Hard Liquor', 16th for 'Reefer Madness', 16th for 'Major Frat and Sorority' and finally #4 in the category of 'Party Schools'. |
