As many times as I've looked the last few days since the Rangers season ended, I have yet to see the name Blair Betts anywhere on any list of tough guys, which should make Donald Brashear that much more of an embarrassment to anyone who ever played the game before. That Brashear might play again this season while Betts recovers from a broken orbitol bone confirms that the NHL needs an immediate Colin-oscopy to determine whether Campbell should join Commissioner Gary in the unemployment line. A common sense punishment would have been an indefinite suspension ending only when Betts is able to play again. Sadly, since the instigator rule remains (the league prefers the more refined and civilized European use of sticks as weapons) we can only hope that someone-ANYONE-will take it upon themselves to put a stick across a Brashear ankle.
Kudos to Paul Mara for confronting Brashear before the coward could hide under the bench.
Thank you Tony Gonzalez for the quality years in the Chiefs uniform. You remained a class act on and off the field even when the team fortunes soured. Best of luck to with the Falcons.
Who the hell is Tyson Jackson?
This week a House subcommittee began hearings on the B(C)S Championship. Fortunately there haven't been any more pressing matters like a national health scare, government planes buzzing ground zero, or troops fighting terrorists in the Middle East to deal with. Are the two major political parties really the best we can come up with in the way of leadership? Right now the only difference between this bunch and the Politburo of some third world country is the looting of the central banks.
The proposed name for the Cowboys brand spanking new stadium is being kept very hush-hush. How about Tarrant County Correctional Facility? Just a thought.
Actual headline: Estranged wife of equipment manager tries to extort money from Rick Pitino. I don't speak Spanish, but this story really is estrange and will likely need further esplaining.
Matthew Stafford 2009 playbook: Drop back five steps and assume the fetal position. Run play three times, head to the sideline to suggest the Lions consider investing in some less offensive offensive linemen.
R.I.P Frank Gansz. Condolences to your family and friends.
