1) There's getting screwed, and then there's what happened to the Oakland Raiders last Saturday in the playoffs.  I don't care what anybody says thatwas a fumble by Tom Brady of the Patriots.  I used to laugh at the theories that the NFL had a vendetta against Raiders owner Al Davis, now I'm startingto think otherwise.

2) The Chicago Bulls are so bad they couldn't win the Big South Conference.

3) You think San Diego Chargers future quarterback Drew Brees is happy about the possibility of Mary Schottenheimer being his new coach after seeing how horrible the Redskins passing game was last year.

4) I was watching CBS this weekend (only because of football mind you,I'm not 80), and because I rarely watch football on CBS I forgot that Deion [Sanders] is an anchor for their football show.  The sight of "Prime Time"still makes me want to vomit.  I look at him and I see two or three guys the Skins could have re-signed if not for giving Deion all that money.  We'regoing to cross paths one day Deion.  Don't know how, don't know when, but I'm coming, and it aint gonna be pretty.

5) I've come to the conclusion that when an NBA guy takes a swing at someone, they always miss on purpose the first time.  Never fails.

6) Doesn't baseball commissioner Bud Selig just look like a villain to you?  I mean just look at him.

7) Can you imagine the looks on the Tampa Bay Bucs owners faces when Bill Parcells told them he wasn't going to coach the team?  It's nice when teams get what they deserve.

8) Where did Ray Lewis get that little dance he does from?

9) You think Trent Dilfer is laughing at the Ravens?

10) So Michael Jordan's wife wants half the estate huh?  I'm sorry, I don't remember her scoring any points.
