They have all team Cardinals tickets, Cowboys tickets, Packers tickets, Colts tickets, Patriots tickets, Titans tickets and more. Get your Super Bowl tickets here! PROGAM NOTE: No fantasy football rankings this week, although I can tell you to sit Greg Jennings and Drew Bledsoe, and that any 49er is not a good idea.. Here are Yahoo's Week 8 rankings. COLLEGE LOCKS 16-6-2 ON SEASON!!! And I also have one of my NFL 'plays of the year Get my college and other Week 8 NFL picks in DENGENERATE CENTRAL.  HILARIOUS SPORTSTALK CALLER!!! The following occurred on Paul Finebaum's Alabama radio show last night, and it's even funnier than anything I've heard on Hacksaw Hamilton. Finebaum opens the show by saying that embattled Alabama coach Mike Shula (at right with Phil Fulmer and daughter) had just received a vote of confidence from Ray Perkins, which he equated to a Democrat getting an endorsement from John Kerry. Then Finebaum gets a call from a listener named Catherine, who's apparently a regular on the show. Catherine opens by calling Perkins (Bear Bryant's successor from 1983-86) an A-hole twice, then adds that she once had a bad experience with Ray. When Finebaum asked her to expound, Catherine first declines, saying that she was worried that her hubby might be listening. But Cath does let loose later in the conversation, saying she had met Perkins a couple of times, but he had a problem, um, performing. And it didn't sound like she was talking about keeping the Crimson Tide as a national power. The call was so good you almost wonder if it was a Phil Hendrie-like stunt. Click the link on Finebaum's site that says 'Catherine: The Weenie Problem'. Eli Gold is right, college football is bigger than life and death down there.YET ANOTHER ANNOUNCER IN TROUBLE!!! ESPNU commentator Brian Kinchen has been at least temporarily taken off the air due to a comment he made last weekend during a Northern Illinois v. Iowa football game. Kinchen was explaining on how receivers need to make catches with their hands because they are 'tender' and can 'caress' the ball. Kinchen then pauses before saying, 'that's kind of gay, but hey ...' That left the play-by-play man speechless before turning his attention back to the game. Kinchen, a former tight end who played in the NFL for 13 years, issued a statement saying 'I sincerely apologize for my extremely poor choice of words.' D-TROIT TECH-NIC-AL FOUL!!! Guess the NBA means it when they said there would be absolutely no tolerance for player whining this year, as Rasheed Wallace is booted midway through the third quarter of the Pistons opener. He and Sam Cassell could absolutely obliterate the single-season technical foul record this year. METS RELIEVER PICKS UP 50-GAME SUSPENSION: I was just thinking tonight, outside of the Jason Grimsley front, not much occurred on the steroid suspension front this year. Jinx. Guillermo Mota was suspended for 50 games Wednesday after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance, falling victim to Major League Baseball's toughened drug policy. In a statement, Mota says 'I have no one to blame but myself. I take full responsibility for my actions and accept MLB's suspension. I used extremely poor judgment and deserve to be held accountable.' ROBBY GORDON, LITTERBUG: Well, Jeff Burton wanted a 185 point penalty and a $100,000 fine, he's going to have to settle for 50 points and $15,000. Nonetheless, NASCAR has found Robby Gordon guilty for throwing a piece of debris on the track druing the waning stages of the Bass Pro Shop (or Atlanta Constitution or Golden Corral or whatever the sponsor was this time) 500. The tactic allowed Robby to stay on the lead lap and finish in the top-ten, while the late caution meant that Burton remained two laps down after pitting out of sequence - severely damaging what championship hopes he had left. DREW BREES TELLS MOM TO STOP IT: Yet another athlete finds himself in a pre-election day mini-controversy. Saints quarterback Drew Brees has asked his mother to stop using his picture in TV commercials touting her candidacy for a Texas appeals court. In commercials running on Austin TV stations, Mina Brees had been using a picture of her son, to emphasize her ties to football. Mrs. Brees is an Austin attorney running as a Democrat for a spot on Texas' 3rd Court of Appeals. In a statement Monday, Drew Brees said 'I think the major point here is that my mother is using me in a campaign, and I've made it known many times I don't want to be involved.' Don't be surprised if Brees' opponent doesn't mention this in a media ad this weekend, complete with a grainy image of Drew throwing an INT.  PAC-MAN FINALLY SUSPENDED: I thought you only got three lives in Pac-Man, or did Adam Jones get his 20,000 bonus after returning a punt for a TD, in any event - Titans coach Jeff Fisher FINALLY suspends Jones after his LATEST nightclub arrest last weekend. Look for Girlfriend of Pac-Man to come out to a video game store near you next year, where woman chase Pac-Man through a maze at a club. The object for Pac-Man would be to eliminate the girl Pac-Man's by spitting on them. Too bad the Titans and Bengals don't play each other this year, such a game would probably be decided on whether either Pac-Man or Chris Henry could make bail in time for the game first.KNUCKLEBALL LEGEND DEAD AT 61: Former major league pitcher Joe Niekro, the Houston Astros career victory leader and father of San Francisco Giants first baseman Lance Niekro, has died from a brain aneurysm. Like older brother Phil Niekro, Joe found success after developing the knuckleball and pitched well into his 40's. The Niekro brothers finished with a combined 539 major league victories, a record for siblings - barely edging out Cy Young and his sister. INTERESTING CDM SPORTS NOTE... Those who play in CDM Fantasy Sports offerings may be interested in this piece of news. On Monday morning CDM e-mailed participants in the 'Last Man Standing' games with the following message. 'Due to a variety of changing business factors in the online fantasy sports environment, CDM Fantasy Sports has made a decision to cease its offering of Last Man Standing and we are refunding all entry fees paid towards this game. We will not be offering this style of game in the future.' The e-mail goes on to say that they will complete the contests for this football season (Last Man Standing, Last Man Standing II, College Football Last Man Standing) and will pay off as normal - swallowing $27,000 in all. I'm going to translate 'variety of changing business factors' to someone in a high place telling the outfit that the survivor-pool style contest crossed the line from the fantasy sports into the sports gambling realm - and CDM chose to refund all entry fees v. fighting in court, so I'm guessing someone VERY powerful was on them. Incidentally, fantasy sports survived Congress's attempt to get them outlawed in the late 1990's, another bill in 2000, which former UNC hoops coach Dean Smith lobbied for, would have banned all sports gambling and point spreads, even in Nevada. I wouldn't be shocked if a future session of Congress makes another run against fantasy sports contests.  TAPS, TAPS - IS IT LIGHTS OUT ON MERRIMAN??? The Worldwide leader is reporting tonight that Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman will be suspended by the NFL four games for violating the league's steroid policy. Sources say it's definitely steroids, not 'a supplement deal'. By the way, sickest Merriman story I ever heard was the one about once knocking four opposing players out cold in a high school game - I guess they had to assign an entire fleet of ambulances in games Shawne was involved in> MOVE OVER BENGALS!!! Chargers fast becoming NFL's new bad boys. ODDS STACKED AGAINST MERRIMAN APPEAL: Of 57 appeals of positive tests, NONE HAVE BEEN OVERTURNEDNOW WE NEED INSTANT REPLAY IN MARATHON RACING: Kenyan Robert Cheruiyot raises his arms in trimuph as he's about to cress the tape in the Chicago Marathon. However, Cheruiyot slips and lands shockingly on the back of his head. Although be fell under the tape, it was ruled that his feet did cross the finish line (like in the NFL, it goes straight skyward from the ground till infinity) and was awarded the 11-second victory. Cheruiyot is spending the night at a local hospital with 'internal and external' head injuries. You can check out the surreal video here. MINOR LEAGUE PROSPECT FEARED DEAD IN CANOE ACCIDENT: Rescue crews plan to resume searching Monday for a minor league pitching prospect who went missing after his canoe overturned in Class III rapids near the North Carolina/Virginia border. Nearly 200 searchers are looking for Erik Walker, a former standout at the University of Charlotte. A canoe carrying Walker and a female companion flipped over in 45-degree water, the woman made it shore, Walker not so lucky.  HEADS ROLL IN PHILLY: In many NHL markets (Florida, Phoenix, Columbus et al), fans will remain patient even after a 1-7 start. Philadelphia is not one of those locales. Here is how the Flyers last five games have gone, 1-3, 2-3, 1-9, 1-4, 2-3. Oh, and Peter Forsberg went down during that period - not that anyone knew he was back. One or two goals per game might suffice in the Premiere League but not in hockey. The 9-1 loss was to the Sabres, who you might as well give the Stanley Cup to right now. GM Bobby Clarke responded to that debacle by delivering pink slips to three veterans. However after Saturday nights loss the owner decided the problems start at the top. This morning Clarke and bariatric coach Ken Hitchcock are both reported to be out.TILLMAN BROTHER SPEAKS OUT AGAINST WAR: Kevin Tillman, himself once a minor-league baseball prospect before joining brother Pat Tillman into the United States Army. Now discharged, Tillman has written an article in memory of his brother and also condemning recent U.S. foreign policy. Here is one excerpt, 'Somehow our elected leaders were subverting international law and humanity by setting up secret prisons around the world, secretly kidnapping people, secretly holding them indefinitely, secretly not charging them with anything, secretly torturing them. Somehow that overt policy of torture became the fault of a few 'bad apples' in the military.' You can read the entire piece here. 'JUNGLE LEGEND' PICKS UP DUI: Newly minted Sacramento Kings coach and Jim Rome favorite Bill Musselman busted on drunken driving charges early (when else??) Saturday.  RECORD COMEBACK: You may remember Frank Reich leading Maryland from a 31-0 deficit once in Miami, then leading the Bills from a 35-3 hole in that playoff game. Now Michigan State tops all of that with a comeback coming from absolutely nowhere, rallying from 35 points down to beat Northwestern 41-38. John L. Smith lives for at least one more week.NOT SO FABOLOUS: Celtics guard Sebastian Telfair denied Friday that he is under investigation for the shooting of the rapper known as Fabolous, but police are singing a different tune. The 21-year-old Telfair (feels like he's been in the league five years with all the news he's been in) had a $50,000 chain ripped off his neck early Tuesday morning outside a Manhattan club owned by hip-hop mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs. Twenty minutes later Fabolous was shot and wounded in the left thigh outside of the club. The New York Daily News reports that surveillance video captured two members of Fabolous' entourage robbing Telfair. The paper's sources claim Telfair saw the men inside the club and made a cell phone call. The security camera reportedly captured the shooter leaving in a grey car. After the incident, four men, including Fabolous, were arrested and charged with having unregistered, loaded weapons. Telfair left Tuesday night's game against the Knicks to view lineups, which contained Fabolous and members of his entourage. Telfair was unable to identify the suspect. At a team practice on Friday, Telfair says 'I wasn't being investigated for any shooting. My necklace was snatched from my neck.' However, the New York police say Telfair is being investigated. $50,000 chain, nightclub, wee hours of the morning, NBA player v. rap star - who NEEDS a $50,000 chain. ANOTHER TV ANALYST IN TROUBLE: If someone said something on a digital tier channel that hardly anyone watches - does it make a sound??? A pit reporter for Speed Channel's broadcasts of NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series races has been given a one-week suspension after making on-air comments the network felt were racially insensitive. Ray Dunlap was said to have maid the The comments during a TV show aired on the channel this week. During the segment Dunlap took issue with a claim that 10 percent of NASCAR fans are Hispanic and then supposedly made some jokes on the topic - but the network would not reveal exactly what he said. Dunlap joins Steve Lyons and University of Miami football analyst Lamar Thomas as those who have landed in hot water for on-air remarks in just the last week.  YADA, YADA, YA - YADIER GOES YARD: Just a couple weeks after limping into their playoff hand, unlikely sources propel Cards to N.L. pennant.EX-PUNTER CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTED MURDER: The good news for former Northern Colorado second-string punter Mitchell Cozad was prosecutors dropped a second-degree assault charge for allegedly stabbing the starter in his kicking leg, saying they needed more time to investigate. Now the bad news, they have now filed an attempted first-degree murder charge - which could result in 48 years in prison. Say the DA is going for the juggular, not just the leg. I smell a plea bargain, which is still going to ensure Cozad a few seasons with the state penal football team, maybe he can be the starting punter there. 'BLACK SUNDAY' THREAT FOCUSES ON MILWAUKEE: All I know is I DIDN'T DO IT!!! The FBI is investigating a man, described only as a young adult, and they say the man does not appear to have any ties to terrorist groups, according to a law enforcement official speaking on condition of anonymity. For the record the 'threat' was posted on something called www.thefriendsociety.com - which appears to have already been taken down. And looking at a search for that site, it appears it is a myspace.com type site with all kinds of other loser nonsense on it. Either that or this is all an inside job that scares voters into insanity, causing them to all vote Republican in three weeks. EARLIER STORY The United States government on Wednesday expressed doubts about a Web site claiming that seven NFL football stadiums will be hit with radiological dirty bombs this weekend. The warning, posted last week, was part of an ongoing Internet conversation titled 'New Attack on America Be Afraid.' It mentioned NFL stadiums in New York, Miami, Atlanta, Seattle, Houston, Oakland and Cleveland, where games are scheduled Sunday. The warning claims the 'death toll will approach 100,000 from the initial blasts and countless other fatalities will later occur as result from radioactive fallout'. Homeland Security has alerted the leauge of the Web message but said the threat was being viewed 'with strong skepticism', adding that the alert was 'out of an abundance of caution'. In a statement, Homeland Security 'strongly encourages the public to continue to go about their plans', including attending sports events. The Green Bay Packers, who play in Miami, released a statement saying, 'The National Football League has informed us that the Department of Homeland Security has judged that the threat is not credible.' This coming Sunday marks the final day of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, and their has been talk of a potential attack on the U.S. during this period. The nation's alert level remains at yellow, the alert for airlines has remained at orange since a foiled plot to bomb U.S.-bound commercial jets was revealed back in August. FAVRE RIPS NFL ON KOREN SUSPENSION: Brett Favre sharply criticized the way the NFL handles substance abuse problems, a day after teammate Koren Robinson was suspended for the season. 'I don't like the way the league has, in my mind, turned their back on him. I'm not against banning him for the year. I'd love for him to play, but to boot him out, clean his locker out and say you can't have no contact with this team?' Favre, who entered the NFL's substance abuse program during treatment for an addiction to painkillers in 1996, said it doesn't make sense that the policy bans his teammate from the Packers' facilities 'and the support group that can help him.'  IN-N-OUT BURGERS HIGHLIGHT LIDLE FUNERAL: Hundreds of family, friends and teammates remembered Cory Lidle on Tuesday at an emotional 45-minute service in Covina, CA. At a reception later, they munched on In-N-Out burgers, his favorite fast food.NHL'ER TAKES A BUMP: Montreal Canadiens forward Aaron Downey lands in the hospital with a SEVERE concussion after Flames defenseman Robyn Regehr slammed his head into the boards with a vicious open-ice check. Downey crossed the red line with his head down and was dropped by a hard shoulder check early in the Habs 5-4 victory. 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. |
