Greetings from Canada
Boise State’s Ryan Dinwiddie lead a late charge, and connected with a 35 yrd TD pass to Rombe Bryant with 12 seconds left to beat the Calgary Stampeders 32 – 28. Thursday Night Football, YEAH, followed by a Friday Night double header.
I could get used to saying Jim Sorgi. Payton Manning and his bursa sac are still laid up. It may be as long as 6 weeks before he is ready to play. Somehow, I don’t feel very bad.
Apparently this is the week of fights. The Cincinnati Reds and Chicago Cubs Single A affiliates squared off in a melee that resulted in 17 ejections. Now all we need is a battle royal in The MLS.
The Golden State Warriors re-signed Monta Ellis to a 6 year, 66 Million Dollar deal. Ellis is expected to run the offense the way Don Nelson wants.
Is there any chance that MLB does the right thing and chooses Mark Cuban as the next owner of the Chicago Cubs? Can you imagine Chicago with Jerry Reinsdorf and Mark Cuban? I’m guessing Bud Selig and the owners will never allow it to happen, but it sure would be fun.
MLB Roundup
Ryan Braun went 4 – 4 with a 9th inning home run to cap a sweep of the St Louis Cardinals, 4 – 3. The Brewers have won 8 straight, 7 straight on the road, to move within 1 game of division leading Chicago Cubs.
The NY Mets regained a 1 game lead over the Philadelphia Phillies, winning 3 – 1. Carlos Delgado hit a 2 run double off JC Romero in the 8th to break the 1 – 1 tie.
Tampa Bay continues its road woes, losing their 7th straight on the road, to the Royals 4 – 2. The Tampa loss pulls the Red Sox back to even with Tampa Bay atop the AL East.
And Finally…
The WNBA tries to put the brawl behind them…by signing a 50 yr old Nancy Lieberman. The Detroit Shock signed Lieberman to a 1 game contract to help divert the PR nightmare the brawl has been. The Old Dominion star was the youngest women to ever win a medal at the Olympics, winning Silver in the 76 games.
