Pre-Super Bowl edition...
1. Only one more week of Inside the NFL on Showtime. I'm going to miss it. Great stuff this week, with Phil Simms trying on Kurt Warner's gloves and describing (and showing) what it's like to throw in them.
2. Too bad it's not a three and a half hour Bruce Springsteen concert with a short football game at halftime.
3. A Cardinal victory punches Warner's ticket to Canton. He also seems to be one of the nicest people in the game. Perhaps he should have been a hockey player.
4. Good thing for DirecTV DVR. Wipeout is on ABC at halftime, but Bruce live is something you do not miss.
5. Will be interesting to see if Fitzgerald can jump over Polamalu like that.
6. Duke - Wake was fun, but it really didn't mean much in the grand scheme of things. That's what makes college basketball so much different from college football. Texas - Texas Tech was fun, and it meant something. That's why so many basketball fans dont' start paying attention until March.
7. How great would it be if NOBODY signed Manny.
8. Nobody has signed Varitek either. His skills have seriously deteriorated, but if you need someone to try to start a fight with a player while wearing full catcher's gear, including the mask, he's your guy.
9. The people going crazy here over Torre's book and the aftermath should really watch those Spanish novellas. Same manufactured drama with much hotter women. Perhaps hot women is not their thing, though, and they'd rather ponder A-Rod.
10. I am SO ready for warm weather.
11. No Strike Zone Channel this year on DirecTV because MLB Network is doing something similar. I hope they do as good a job as DirecTV. I loved watching the SZC.
12. Miami Hurricanes football is in crisis again. Yawn. Somehow this is never news.
13. Good for Chauncey Billups, making the all-star team. I still won't watch, but I'm glad for him.
14. Carmelo is back, but during his absence the Nuggets found out Dan Kleiza has game.
15. Home court is going to be huge in the Eastern Conference. Big win for the Magic last night.
16. Hope you guys are watching the Australian Open. Great tennis, especially the women.
17. When did St. John's start wearing blue uniforms? Who thought that was a good idea? As bad as we've been the last ten years, we're still in the top ten or so in all-time wins. We have tradition. And it doesn't include blue.
18. Just watched the season finale of Dexter. Awesome. I have three episodes left of The Shield, I think three of Friday Night Lights, one Californication...all great shows.
19. LOST SPOILERS AND SPECULATION...I think the woman pointing the gun at Daniel Faraday was his mother. My guess. Did Desmond name his baby after Drive Shaft Charlie, or Grandpa Charles?
20. It's still January, and I'm already sick of riding the bike on the indoor trainer.
21. My 12 week training program for my next race begins Monday March 9. Until then it's more maintenance.
22. The Rangers are the worst 29-17-4 team in the history of sports. I still say they may not make the playoffs.
23. Pete Carroll could not have handled Matt Sanchez leaving any worse. He sounded like a little kid who lost a toy, and he ruined Sanchez's press conference.
24. My relatively new boyfriend is a keeper. Great guy in so many ways. Going to Texas to meet his family in the Spring...that should be interesting!
25. Steelers 21, Cardinals 17. Can't wait to see the commercials!
