Back by popular demand...OK not really, but I'm going to do it anyway.

Sit back and relax, I have a lot to get off my...um...chest. Could take a while!

1. Can you imagine if after college basketball conference tournaments ended everything stopped, and no games were played until March Madness started ONE MONTH LATER? We're all used to it in football, but when you think about it, it's bizarre.

2. Gary Danielson is a fantastic analyst for CBS SEC football. Understated, intelligent, describes what's happening, why it happened, what may happen next, and what strategy teams need to employ to succeed. And it's never about Gary Danielson. The opposite of...

3. Vitale was just making my ears bleed during Butler-Georgetown. Diaper Dandies, PtPers, etc., was all new and fresh 20 years ago. Now it's just so old. The extent of his analysis is 'Awesome baby!'. Thanks Dick.

4. Because of family, friend and other commitments, this past Sunday was the first time I've been able to sit and watch the Red Zone Channel at 1 PM and watch all the way through. I love Andrew Siciliano, and the entire concept of the channel. They've improved the production, too. They'be gotten even better at switching from game to game.

5. Another great NFL Films Presents this week, showing some Nigerian players returning to Nigeria, and the offensive line coach of the Colts and the defensive line coach of the Titans, who are good friends, traveling together across South Africa. Riveting.

6. The Colts are amazing. Well, Peyton Manning is amazing in particular. The Colts are trying to lose a game, so they don't have to carry the undefeated burden into December or the playoffs, but Peyton won't let them. What he does, week after week...I keep telling my nephews to watch him, because there won't be another one like him for a long time. Not just his incredible talent and will to win, the way he controls the game from the line of scrimmage is just phenomenal.

7. Did anyone see No Country For Old Men? Curious to what your opinion is. Good movie, but totally not what I was expecting. Don't want to give the plot away, but I will say it was almost like watching two different movies. One plot line was related to the other one, but had very little to actually do with it. And one of the plot lines was amazing to watch, so exciting, and the other one...not so much.

8. I get the feeling the Iverson honeymoon period is already starting to wind down.

9. Hey Mark Sanchez...Just sit down and shut up for a change. Your coach wants you to sit...so sit. Hopefully you have a long career ahead of you, and at this point I still hope it's in NY. I've been giving you a pass because your coach acts like a buffoon, but your California Boy histrionics are starting to wear really thin.

10. Hey Cleveland basketball...believe in karma yet? Would have been very appropriate to see Rudy Gay and the Memphis Grizzlies dancing on the sidelines after they beat Cleveland the other day. For some reason they chose not to, as did the Houston Rockets last night.

11. Methinks you will see a lot of baseball activity over the next week or two. Groundwork is laid at the meetings and then phone lines start buzzing.

12. The Rangers sent their backup goalie to the minors, and called up their new backup goalie...Chad Johnson. I'm not kidding. He wears number 29 though. Another cutie, as is Valiquette and of course Henrik.

13. I still have a bunch of Wipeouts from the summer I haven't watched, and I'm greatly looking forward to it. It's like saving a fine wine and opening it when the time is just right.

14. Sandra thinks she's getting engaged for the holidays. Just a hunch. Hopefully another Thanksgiving with my wacky family didn't change his mind.

15. The guidos and guidettes they show on MTV's Jersey Shore are most likely from Staten Island, not New Jersey. They're all BENNIES!!! As an Italian-American Jersey Shore girl, I find their depiction to be...pretty funny. But while people like this do exist, thinking all of the Jersey Shore is like that is like thinking everyone from Ohio is a farmer with rotten teeth, everyone in Florida is 90 years old or a Long Island princess, everyone in LA is playing on the same field as Adam Lambert, everyone in Kentucky marries their cousin, etc.

16. My unmarried cousin is a cheerleader for Utah State, I recently mentioned here she would be on TV that night...and I totally forgot to watch! Bad cousin Sandra. My mom called to ask if I watched and I could not lie to my mom...

17. Took a month off after my last race, and it was diffult getting into my winter training regimen this time. I don't start training for my next race (in May) until early March, so over the winter I do maintenance. All kind of different workouts. It took me until after Thanksgiving to get to the gym five times a week, but now I'm back. Yay!

18. Not a Belicheck fan, but I supported his decision to go for it on fourth down against the Colts. I truly think he knows his team better than anyone else, and he thought that gave him the best chance to win. That said, some of the things he's done since then have been very strange.

19. The Warriors play no defense. I mean zero. Nellie must not sleep well at night.

20. I said it before...Danilo Gallineri has game. He can play. The Knicks may not be as pathetic as I thought. Not good, of course, but not pathetic either, which is good, since one of Isiah's going away presents is that we don't have our 2010 draft pick, and it's not lottery protected.

21. My boyfriend's favorite actress after seeing some movie where people are stranded on an island or something, is Kelly Brook. He's amazed that while she's British, she does the Hugh Laurie thing and talks with a flawless American accent. Please. I think there are a couple of other reasons he likes her.

22. I'm not sure if I can possibly care less who wins the Heisman Trophy. Wait, I am sure. I could not care less.

23. The Sacto Kings are holding $1 beer night on December 16, and the game is on ESPN. Tune in...

24. You have to wonder when the Tiger Woods revelations will ever end. Funny how we went from the Friday after Thanksgiving when so many were saying we should leave his private life alone, to now, when more and more of his private life is thrown into our faces every day. Who knew he was such a wild man?

25. I don't trust anything Tim Donaghy says. He's a criminal, and he's trying to sell books. Next.

26. Rose Bowl should be a lot of fun. One team has a dual threat QB who is really coming into his own as both a passer and a runner...and the Buckeyes have Terrelle Pryor!
