Haven't done this in a while...lots to get off my um..chest. Could take a while. 
Hold on tight, I'll apologize in advance if I ruffle your pom poms.
1. Bad weekend for college football item 1. Cam Newton, the NCAA nightmare. The last thing they want is for this kid to be smiling in early December as they hand him the Heisman, but there is really nothing they can do about it. If he gets voted at this point, he wins, but everyone knows it will be a Calipari-like title...how long will he keep it? You gotta vote for the kid based on what he's done on the field, but this entire situation reeks of...well, it just reeks. Hysterical listening to Lundquist and Danielson trying to dance around the issue on Saturday...and there is much more of that to come. The NCAA wishes Cam Newton would just go away, but he's not.
2. Bad weekend for college football item 2. Bret Bielema, another thing that reeks. 83-20? Seriously? Did the chart state you have to score 24 points in the fourth quarter when you are already leading 59-13 after three quarters? Jeez what a disgrace. First he puts up a 70-3 thumping on Austin Peay. Austin freaking Peay, and they have to run up the score. Then up 41-16 against Minnesota with four minutes left in the game he goes for two. Yuck. And now he's still throwing the ball all over the field late in the game against defenseless Indiana, when he's already up six touchdowns. Jeez this guy should go away too.
3. Bad weekend for college football item 3. Cal stops Oregon. I guess this isn't so bad depending on your perspective, but Oregon's run 'n fun offense was pretty much stopped in it's tracks in Berkeley. Exciting game, but not as exciting as USC-Oregon.
4. Didn't you used to be Troy Polamalu? He had a bad game last night in the middle of a bad season. Polamalu is well known for his free-lancing, but he seemed to guess wrong last night almost every time. He seemed to almost always be on the wrong side of the field. You used to see Troy in half the Pittsburgh highlights. Now you don't. The only highlight I remember seeing him in recently is when the long-hair on Cincinnati pancaked him at the goal line.
5. I miss Mad Men already!!!
6. You really have to watch Modern Family. Every episode is a gem but the Halloween episode was particularly hysterical. 'The gays took over Thanksgiving'.
7. The Rangers beat Edmonton yesterday 8-2. And I missed it because I was at my nephew's AAU basketball tournament.
8. I'm still not sold on Mark Sanchez, but give him credit for yesterday. He threw some ducks but came through when it counted.
9. Jet fans are used to sitting there saying 'we outplayed the other team...we should have won...how the heck did we lose that game?' Now we're saying 'we easily woulda/coulda/shoulda lost but somehow we won.' The second part feels better.
10. Charles Barkley says 'the Heat don't run...they strut'. Hah. He also said they act like they're shocked that everyone isn't in love with them.' So true. Hey guys, this isn't the Dream Team, it's Two and a Half Men.
11. Utah's trip through the south resulted in almost as much carnage as Sherman's trip though the south 150 years ago.
12. Pat Riley just put in an order for 10 new Armani suits. He could soon be using some of his hair grease to slide Spoelstra out of the big boy chair.
13. 'Nick wasn't a Folk hero?'. Gonna be a while before I forgive you for that one, Bill!
14. Despite Yankee fans yelling at his wife in October, Cliff Lee has confirmed the fact that Yankee money is just as green and will be accepted just as gladly as everyone else's. It's become very clear Lee has been looking forward to a huge payday for a very long time.
15. Is anyone gonna stay up and watch college basketball overnight tonight? Not me. I'll stay with Miami-Memphis for as long as I can because my fiancee is out of town, but I definitely won't even make it to the 2AM opening tip of St. John's-St. Mary's.
16. The stink-landers fired their head coach today and moved the head coach of their minor league affliate up as an interim coach. Word is they offered the job to Doug Weight but he declined...because he wants to keep playing. I'm not kidding. All those franchises out there you guys root for who you think are horribly run...you have nothing on the Long Island Lunatics. Al Davis and Dan Snyder laugh at Charles Wang.
17. Did you see the parade they held in Philly to celebrate Roy Halladay's Cy Young award? Neither did I.
18. Giant fans found out that you can only consistently turn the ball over against bad teams and still win. And despite their record, the 'boys are not a bad team.
19. Dez Bryant is going to be the best receiver in the NFL...if he isn't already. He's a threat to score every time he touches the ball.
20. Ohio State didn't move up because they don't deserve to move up. They had one tough game and they spit the bit. Case closed. Still, unless they stub their toe again their name and fan base will get them into a huge bowl.
21. Now Minnesota lost and Brett has a new malady? Jeez, this guy is the diva of all divas. For all we know he plants these stories just in case they lose, because he hates the idea of people thinking Brett Favre simply lost. Favre is entering the Roger Clemens territory of hatred, which is a shame because if Favre really had retired three years ago or so he would really be a Nick Folk hero. (I blame you Bill!)
22. Speaking of the Vikings...hiding behind anonymity to tell everyone how much they dislike Brad Childress? Jeez, man up and admit what you say for a change. What a bunch of gutless wonders.
23. My elbow still hurts sometimes from the bike accident. There is something small moving around in there!
24. Just a warning...we are being invaded by Italy in May 2011. One girl in the family, so when she gets married the relatives make the trip...and half of southern Italy shows up. There are a couple of villages where I think the last one out will have to turn out the lights. We had to delay the wedding six months to handle all the logistics.
25. Wow, Todd Haley is one fiery guy. Yelling at Josh MacDaniel and refusing to shake hands after the game yesterday. Oh my.
26. Isiah Thomas is going to be GM of the Knicks again. The only question is when. He's convinced Dolan that if he was still running the team Wade and Lebron would be playing for the homeys right now, because of all of Isiah's street cred. I'm not kidding. And he's also convinced Dolan he can lure Lebron here in 2014. Evil little man that one.
27. Bill Belicheck is an amazing coach. He just is.
28. Joe Morgan is finally off Sunday Night baseball. Thank goodness ESPN finally saw the light.
29. NFL Network names Jerry Rice number one player of all time. My dad would be very happy to hear that. He always said for all the praise Rice received, he didn't receive enough.
30. Goodbye Dave Niehaus, legendary announcer for the Seattle Mariners. Rest in peace.
31. LOL at Browns fans making fun of the hands of Braylon Edwards. Then you have Chancey Stuckey running down the field with a chance to win the game...and he drops the ball and Cleveland's victory as well! Nice upgrade. Payback is a 'Sandra when the Rangers lose'. That's priceless stuff right there. Perhaps the DB with the beautiful interception on his own three yard line should be your new receiver. Thankfully the ball sticks to him like glue.
