On Your Dime 11/2/08

Congrats to the Phillies for winning the Series, and a personal thank you for finishing it before Commissioner Bud moved the rest of the Series games to Wrigley Field North in Milwaukee. You know, only because of the rain. There's no conflicts of interest at all. The reign of Bud Selig is all about the integrity of the game. Or at the very least the lack of from the top down.

Shouldn't a touchdown be overturned if the sideline plane is broken before the goal line plane?

The new Cowboys stadium ia said to having seating for 100,000. Just over 60,000 if Jerry Jones and his ego are in attendance.

With the new accusations and suspicions of banned substance usage maybe its time once again to realign and rename the conferences, making them the Artificial Football Conference and Natural Football Conference.

Hey Gary Bettman, how about no more of those silly games in Europe? The West Stockholm Red Wings already have 41 home games.

Kudos to Al Davis for his recent tribute to Gene Upshaw. As much flak as the Man in Black gets here he'll get equal amounts of credit when its due. The Man in Blue wannabe in Dallas still has much to learn.

Until there's a playoff system in place the defending national champion is Appalachian State. Arbitrarily choosing two teams to play for a mythical national championship is just that-a myth.

Loved the Clinton Portis line after the Rams debacle about Jim Zorn being too easy on the players. Correct me if I'm wrong but Jim Zorn hasn't suited up in around 25 years. Maybe the players were a bit overconfident and blew it themselves? Tinactin won't cure his foot-in-mouth disease.

Marion Jones says she'd have won the golds without taking steroids. Isn't that special? If the public were to forgive you would you please consider just going away?

Plaxico Burress claims not to be a 'distraction' to the Giants. Hey Plax, guess what? At some point a teammate should point out that the team is winning DESPITE you. Anyone else see Burress getting the Shockey treatment after the season?

Special thanks to the Lions for signing Daunte Culpepper to a two-year deal and making those Culpepper/Chiefs rumors disappear. Culpepper in a Kansas City uniform would only take a miserable season down to cartoonish vaudeville status. Watching the Chiefs this season there have been many times I've expected Benny Hill to appear chasing a half-dressed nurse around the field.

There is a newly certified bowl game beginning this season called the 'Congressional Bowl'.
The basic premise is two teams bickering and nitpicking each other apart, while accomplishing nothing, for four fifteen-minute quarters, climaxing with another victory for our elected 'leadership' over the American people. And yet we continue to fall for it. Yes Senator Reid, we'll all pull your finger.
