I CAN GIVE YOU 25 MILLION REASONS TO READ THEM - KAC'S WEEK 6 FANTASY FOOTBALL RANKINGS ARE HERE. LOCKS 13-3 LAST TWO WEEKS!!! Including 3-0 on my MEGA-LOCKS, so why do you want to pay some tout??? Get my college and Week 6 NFL picks in DENGENERATE CENTRAL. TRAGEDY FOR WINSLOW FAMILY: Browns tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. attended a funeral Tuesday for younger brother, Justin K.B. Winslow, who was found uncounscious in his home last week and died a short time later - cause of death is unknown, he was just 23. HEADS START TO ROLL IN AZ CARDS MELTDOWN: Frustrated Arizona Cardinals coach Dennis Green fired offensive coordinator Keith Rowen on Tuesday and replaced him with quarterbacks coach Mike Kruczek, just hours after the team blew a 20-point lead to the Chicago Bears, losing on two fumble returns and a punt return. DENNIS GREEN PRESSER: This may surpass John L. Smith, Jim Mora Sr., and even Howard Dean as far as sound bite popularity is concerned - 'THE BEARS ARE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE, THAT'S WHY WE TOOK THE DAMN FIELD!!! IF YOU WANT TO CROWN THEM, THEN CROWN THEIR ASS!!! AND WE LET THEM OFF THE HOOK!!!' DENNIS GREEN MUST GO: Among the points made, Edgerrin James rushes 36 times for 55 yards behind anemic offensive line - according to the Elias Sports Bureau it is the most rushes for someone ever averaging less than two yards per carry in any game in NFL history. That's an Al Michaels stat if their ever was one. BUT LET'S STOP THIS ALREADY: The Bears are not going to go 16-0, I don't think the Bears want to go 16-0 - in fact they probably needed to lose last night. Just ask the Indianapolis Colts about what making a run at 16-0 gets you. Besides, Larry Csonka is somewhere on some uninhabited Alskan island - HE DOESN'T CARE!!! And to the shock of many, there are probably at least a few more '72 Dolphins that don't lose sleep over this tiring annual topic. In this analysis, the writer points out that a November trip to New England could be the Bears only potential hurdle towards 16-0. Now I know the schedule is easy, but is traveling to play the Jets and Giants (before New England) supposed to be a walk in the park??? Last time I checked the Giants weren't exactly a pushover. The Super Bowl talk remains legit, but even before last night my opinion was 13-3 or even 14-2 and a #1 seed. 19-0 will most likely never be seen.FORMER CANADIAN WOMEN'S TEAM CAPTAIN FILLS IN ON HNIC TELECAST: Cassie Campbell, hired this year as a sideline reporter on CBC's NHL telecasts, wound up doing color commentary for last Saturday's Calgary-Toronto as regular commentator Harry Neale couldn't make it out of his snowed-in Buffalo home. Campbell is believed to be the first woman to ever work the broadcast booth for an NHL game - the only woman currently working in the broadcast booth in North American TV sports right now is Pam Ward, who does college football play-by-play on ESPN. Michele Tafoya once filled in on a CBS NCAA basketball tournament broadcast when the regular play-by-play man lost his voice.  MIAMI/FIU FALLOUT, TV ANALYST FIRED: An NCAA record 31 suspensions handed out, 18 FIU players along with 13 from the U. Meanwhile listen to analyst Lamar Thomas's (seen here in his NFL days) commentary, cheering the fight on and even threatening to join it. Here is the bulk of the transcript: 'Now, that's what I'm talking about!! You come into our house, you should get your behind kicked. You don't come into the OB playing that stuff. You're across the ocean over there. You're across the city. You can't come over to our place talking noise like that. You'll get your butt beat. I was about to go down the elevator to get in that thing. I say, why don't they just meet outside in the tunnel after the ball game and get it on some more? You don't come into the OB, baby. We've had a down couple years but you don't come in here talking smack. Not in our house. WE - REA-DY, WE - REA-DY!!!' Thomas' employers weren't nearly as enthused, as Thomas was fired Monday, with CSS general manager Mark Fuhrman (I don't think THAT Mark Fuhrman) saying 'We will take appropriate disciplinary action', adding that the network will not support or condone his comments. CSS plans to replay the broadcast later in the week (Instant Classic???) but Lamar's colorful brawl commentary will be edited out. LAMAR SAYS HE WAS JUST KIDDING: Says he couldn't had gotten on the elevator and down on the field to join the fray even if he wanted to - he says it takes 40 minutes to get down there and that he's 36 years old. Would had been cool had he done so, kind of like a guest commentator on wrestling - CSS might as well go all the way and have Dwayne Johnson commentating. Thomas adds that it was unfortuate that the brawl along with his passion turned the incident into a national event.WHITE SOX SHORTSTOP INVOLVED IN SHOOTING??? Possible shades of Julio Machado here. Juan Uribe and his brother investigated for their alleged involvement in the shooting of two men in a Domnican coastal city, according to a newspaper report. Uribe and his brother thought that the victims walked too close to their jeep according to a police report. A captain in the Italian Navy suffered wounds to his stomach and hands while a farmer who tried to intervene suffered a left-elbow injury but was treated and released. MORE TROUBLE AT OU: Leading tackler Rufus Alexander has been arrested after an alleged confrontation with police. Alexander said he was trying to stop a fight early Sunday, but was charged with disturbing the peace and interfering with official process, both misdemeanors. Alexander, a team captain and NFL prospect, told reporters he was in his car with a friend when another person stepped in front of the vehicle. A disturbance followed and police arrived. Alexander had seven tackles and a diving interception in Oklahoma's 34-9 win against Iowa State on Saturday. PREMIERE LEAGUE GOALKEEPER SUFFERS SCARY INJURY Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has been told he must take an extended break from soccer after surgery on a depressed fracture of his skull and has been warned that a premature return could be fatal. Cech was still in the hospital two days after undergoing surgery to repair damage caused in a collision with an opposing player who was said to be making his first career start in the opening seconds of a English Premier Leauge match. Initially the stopper seemed only groggy, but panic reigned in the locker room later as Cech's condition was said to had deteriorated rapidly. Doctors feared possible brain swelling as Cech's consciousness slipped away. DRUDGE HEADLINE - CATEGORY FIVE BRAWL IN MIAMI/FIU GAME: I checked out the box score when Miami went up 14-0 with 9:00 left in the third quarter, I checked back a half hour later and it was still stuck at 9:00, and I was wondering what was up - turns out that the U and FIU were exchanging plenty of F-U's, along with plenty of fists, feet, helmets, and even a crutch in the ugliest incident in U.S. sports since the Ron Artest Palce brawl two years ago. You know things have gone way over the top when it takes TWO DOZEN UNIFORMED OFFICERS to restore order on the field. Then hostilities spilled over into the crowd, and soon officers on bicycles were summoned to surround the field - at that point this starts to sound a little too much like Italian soccer. FIU officials say it is the first on-field brawl in the upstart program's five-year history. If they keep scheduling the U it certainly won't be the last. The two schools are separated by all of nine miles, and FIU's roster is comprised primarily of players not wanted by the U - just a bunch of old high school gang-bangers renewing hostilities.  FIRED!!! Straight from the you got 19 chances, you're not getting 20 department - Steve Lyons was not around the clubhouse of the victorious Detroit Tigers on Saturday, as he has been fired from Fox Sports after making a racially insensitive comment towards colleague Lou Pinella's Hispanic heritage, jokingly claiming that colleague Lou Pinella had just taken his wallet. The network confirmed Saturday that Lyons was dismissed immediately after Friday's game. He has been replaced for the remainder of the series by Los Angeles Angels announcer Jose Mota. It is not the first time Lyons had landed in hot water. Two years ago he was suspended without pay after remarking about then-Dodger Shawn Green skipping a game for Yom Kippur. Then just last week, Lyons poked fun at a Shea Stadium fan who was wearing extremely large glasses, it turns out the fan was wearing the glasses because he is near blind.JEFF KENT ONCE BEANED OVER FANTASY BASEBALL??? In a San Francisco Chronicle story, former Dodger Tom Candiotti tells how he was getting killed in fantasy baseball because then-Met Jeff Kent was off to a hot start. So while starter Ramon Martinez was warming up, Candiotti tells his pitching coach loud enough so Ramon hears, that he heard that if Kent gets plunked, then he becomes mush for the rest of the series. First time Kent gets up, he gets beaned and misses the rest of the series. That's it, time for Bill Frist to introduce a new bill, fantasy sports are evil. HOW JOE BEIMEL REALLY CUT HIS HAND: Told Dodger management that he cut his hand in his hotel room on the eve of the Dodgers first round playoff series last week - it turns out he cut it on broken glass in a New York bar. Beimel says later, 'nothing happens good at a bar at 2:30 AM'. So not only did Beimel get hurt, he broke curfew and lied to the organization - and the Dodgers were without their lone lefty out of the pen. And who do you want to kick out of LA???14-0 WEEK NOT WORTH MUCH: Just in case you thought your 11-3 or 12-2 in the office pool last week was impressive. The Canadian Lottery system runs a weekly contest where bettors have an opportunity to share in a pool worth a few hundred thousand dollars, provided contestents pick every game right. In week 1, just five players ran the table - each taking $65,000 Canadian. However last week every single favored team won. Last Monday night many thought they had hit the jackpot, but it turns out that the $5 ticket only paid $40-$80 depending on the location. In all over six thousand shared in the pool. By comparison, the four 'experts' picking games on Yahoo last week went 13-1, 11-3, 11-3, 11-3 (have to pick a few upsets). The popular Canadian contest could be headed out the door in the next few years, as the NFL wants to start playing regular season games north of the border - what do you think the first condition for such an arrangement will be???  ADRIAN PETERSON DONE AT OU??? Breaks collarbone in Sooners blowout, is eligible for NFL Draft.O.D. OF T.O. NEWS CONTINUES: Terrell Owens said on his radio show Friday that his relationship with Cowboys receivers coach Todd Haley was 'ruined' by a blowup this week. It began when Owens missed the start of practice because of an upset stomach (too many pills again???, and the coach 'berated' him for being late. Owens 'held his tongue' then, but then went off on the coach. Blowup??? Doesn't that happen about every 37 seconds or so??? I say three weeks at the most before the Cowboys decide to cut their losses. AROD'S PLANE RUNS OFF RUNWAY??? A Gulfstream jet carrying Alex Rodriguez and six others overran a runway at Bob Hope Airport on Friday and was brought to a halt by an arresting system. Now how strange is that - Cory Lidle's plane runs into a building on 10/11, now someone who just happens to wear #13 has a close call on Friday the 13th - someone tell me this is all coincidental. DID STEPHEN JACKSON VIOLATE PROBATION??? A lead candidate for 'Dumbest Man of the Day' by Joe McDonell on 570 KLAC, S-Jax is now finding himself up to his tail in alligators. You may recall he was a central figure in the Ron Artest Palace brawl - he may have been the biggest idiot that night. Now prosecutors in suburban Detroit say Friday they may request jail time for Jackson if he is found to have violated probation by firing a gun outside an Indianapolis strip club last week. Jackson is on probation after pleading no contest to misdemeanor assault and battery charges for his role in the 2004 brawl between Pacers players and Detroit Piston fans. In another development, it is now said that Jackson got his gun and fired it into the air BEFORE being slugged in the mouth.  UW BAND THREATENED WITH 'VIRTUAL EXTINCTION': Members of the University of Wisconsin marching band participated in semi-nude dancing, sexualized banter and shaved one band member's head in a hazing incident during a recent road trip to the University of Michigan, according to university officials. The assistant chancellor said in a press conference that incidents during the September 23rd road trip could be seen as anything from boorish and offensive to patently dangerous and unlawful, adding that the incident prompted the school to notify the band director that the band is on probation. The reports also suggest a recurrence of behavior that the university has been forced to address in the past. The school also had received a report of sexual harassment by a staff member of the band. The 300-member band is a proud symbol of the university, and the spotlight on the band's behavior comes as it prepares for Wisconsin's homecoming game against Minnesota on Saturday.BCS SHOCKER TO COME... Look for USC to be ranked #1 over Ohio State, Boise State to debut in top ten.  10/11 - CORY LIDLE DEAD IN NY PLANE CRASH: In a chilling scene which brought panic along with 9-11 flashbacks, a plane registered in the name of Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle crashed into the side of a 50-story Manhattan highrise. Although Mayor Michael Bloomberg would confirm it, several news sources are confriming that Lidle and a flight instructor are indeed dead - and another report says that Cory Lidle's body has been identified on the sidewalk, along with some belongings as well as a passport. Just last Saturday Lidle was lit up in middle relief as the Yankees were eliminated by the Detroit Tigers. FOX News is reporting that while Homeland Security is automatically notified in any case involving NY avation accidents, all early indications are that the crash was indeed accidental. UPDATE: Yankees owner George Steinbrenner confirms Lidle's passing. FLASHBACK - LIDLE NOT POPULAR WITH EX-PHILLIE TEAMMATES: In a story KACSPORTS reported on back in August, Cory Lidle made some parting shots upon being traded from the Philadelphia Phillies, saying that the team didn't play well behind him. Chase Utley and Arthur Rhodes were among the Phillies who returned fire - you may recall Rhodes saying that Lidle was only interested in 'flying his airplane and gambling' (Lidle was an avid poker player) and added that Lidle surfed the internet during games while chomping down the clubhouse's supply of ice cream. Rhodes also called Lidle, a 1995 strike-breaker, a scab. Phillies pitcher Brett Myers added 'Why does everyone talk trash when they leave here???' adding why Lidle never said anything to his teammates faces. LIDLE CALLED WFAN YESTERDAY: The 34-year-year-old Lidle recently completed perhaps his most troubling season in the majors. Getting into spats with both the Phillies and Yankees - after his teams post-season loss Lidle suggested that the Yankees weren't as well prepared as the Tigers. Aware that he was getting criticized on-air, Lidle called sports-talk station WFAN to defend himself. What ensued was said to be a testy interview, with Lidle insisting his comments were not directed at manager Joe Torre. Once the Yankees were eliminated from the playoffs, Lidle planned to fly himself home to California, making several stops along the way. Lidle got his pilot's license last offseason, bought his own plane and had made flying his passion. Said Lidle in August, 'Yeah, it's risky, but no more risky than driving a car.' Lidle was also a high school teammate of Jason Giambi, in a statement Giambi says 'Right now, I am really in a state of shock, as I am sure the entire MLB family is' Lidle leaves behind a 6-year old son. WFAN AUDIO: In a bizarre interview, Lidle calls station to defend himself, saying that he was not throwing Joe Torre under the bus. Lidle also accuses hosts of running and twisting his remarks, adding 'I'm not supposed to enjoy this day in New York?? What am I supposed to do, cry in my apartment for the next two weeks??'. NOT INSTRUMENT RATED: Sources say that Lidle was not instrument rated to fly the plane and could only fly when visibility was good. It was an overcast day in Manhattan. That and perhaps the guy was stressed and perhaps shouldn't had been flying anyways. FIGHTER JETS SCRAMBLED: The military sent dozens of fighter jets to patrol the skies over New York, Washington, and other U.S. and Canadian cities minutes after a small plane crashed into a New York City high rise. Many aircraft were still aloft 2 1/2 hours after the incident, with some of them being refueled by tankers, A NORAD commander said cities covered also included Los Angeles and Seattle, and added that while military officials knew that the Lidle crash was 'not likely' a terrorist act, that NORAD assumed that is was until confident that it wasn't. FOX NEWS 'SPINNING' CRASH STORY??? It sure didn't take noted conspiracy theorist Alex Jones long to have a take on the Cory Lidle crash, claiming that a Fox News reporter spun the story, suggesting how the accident 'would affect the upcoming mid-term elections' by reminding Americans of the horror of 9/11. Alex also noted a report that President Bush 'immediately ordered NORAD to defend the city of New York and other major cities'. There we go, I think we solved that one. October Surprise, Inside Job....I really don't think any news channel would actually go there. Think this falls under the coincidence category Alex. |
