Reggie Bush just lost a lot of money. And that's fantastic. Would the Texans take Young #1??

Keep the Saints in town? For god's sakes, there's been enough suffering in the Superdome! Honestly, as a Saints fan for most of my life, the true purpose of the team is to bring laughter and a common bond of misery. Yeah yeah, it would be great if the Saints actually won a playoff game or something, but seriously, I think everybody in New Orleans really enjoys how fantastically they lose all the time. They're pretty much our lovable dumb pets in the South. In the hopes of bringing a bit of levity about the situation, here's some jokes I've personally heard from New Orleans evacuees/ Saints fans in the last week (yes, most of which lost homes and are grieving): What's the difference between the Saints Offensive Line and the Levees? The Levees held up for at least one blitz. They couldn't evacuate everyone? Couldn't they have started a Saints game? City would have emptied out in an hour. "Wow, that's the first time anybody from New Orleans has been in that endzone." ...etc. etc. Yeah I know, people horrifically died. But jokes help. That's why we need the Saints around.

I'm pretty sure that High School Cheerleaders really don't need bootylicious "breaking down" to be considered objects of male sexual fantasy.

I'm rooting for the Anaheim Emilios Estevez. And according to IMDB, the Mighty Ducks FOUR is in production for a 2005 release.

Man, Corey Dillon would have totally gone bezerker Last Boy Scout style on the Bengals with a machine gun if this was done in the NFL.

Not really caring that badly, I would really like Boston to lose the next two games, thus having the 'other shoe drop' to the freaking-out Red Sox Nation, then wrapping it up in an apocalyptic celebration at Fenway.

Upon further review, I realize now that the Nike commercial would have worked whether they won or lost. Which makes it an even better commercial. The question is however, if they have a World Series edit where the geezers have heartattacks and die from happiness.... or despair.

There's a shot of a couple of young Boston fans watching a game in the stands. The years tick by on the bottom, just heart break after heartbreak. The Boston fans get older and older.... until finally, they're a bunch of geezers. The year says 2004, and the Sox just won. The geezers are in complete disbelief. "Just Do It"

Holy shit, how long has Nike had that commercial waiting??!?

I really, really enjoy seeing Arod strike out now for some reason. More so than before.

Well, at least it's gotten interesting again. Can't really cement that "best series" ever thing without a riveting game 7.

Hmm..... I've got a bad feeeling about this. Yankees seem to be ready to go nuts.

I'm sure in a few years we'll all be hanging out, and saying to Ricky, "Hey man, do you remember that time when you were so high you retired from football? Good times, good times."

In every sappy sports movie I've seen, they have to lose their first game. Then this ragtag group of ballers will finally begin to gel from Larry Brown's unorthodox teaching methods, culminating in the ultimate defeat of their arch rivals at Cobra Kai Karate School.

Also, I'll give $50 to the Newspaper sportswriter who prints the headline, "Ricky Runs No More, Dedicates Life to Weblog."

Damn, I was expecting that Roddick had to make water balloons from the hotel swimming pool and lob them up the floors with his racket to quench the fire. Highly dissapointed.

Also, if you didn't watch the game, there was some creepy twin ESP action going on at UAB. The behind the back lob twin-to-twin was insane.

[derail] Anybody seen that McDonald's "I'm Lovin It" Commercial where these young hip urban individual(z) are playing basketball, but here's the MCWORRRLD part of it -- on rollerblades! I doubt this sport actually exists, and google results I believe are planted propaganda for this fantasy. Can anybody verify this sport exists? Does it look as stupid as it does on the commercials? I'm not doubting a Rollerbasketball game can exist mind you. Hey, it could happen. MCWORRRRRRRRLD!!!

Instead you can discuss this completely insane article discussing the finer points of statistics for video game gridiron players. Writing for this site has to be the best job in the world. "I had a good game of Madden today, I'll write an entire article about it."

The video quality is quite good if you're on cable. At first I was skeptical but now after seeing how pretty the video is I'm all for it.

Yes, this is the team I follow, excuse the bias, but the good thing is that I've been following this story. Before this came about, many Alabama fans truly believed this man was the second coming of Bear Bryant. There was a very extensive hoopla during the LSU game last month when Fran was shown leaning up against the goalposts "just like Bryant did." This simple act was talked about and praised for weeks. No really, I'm serious. The major forums are under meltdown mode at the moment. The Alabama Student Senate unaminously passed this resolution today. Former Alabama player John Croyle (who's son Brodie is the highly-regarded star sophmore QB) said on the radio: "Coach Fran asked all those boys to hold onto the rope," he said, referring to the team's slogan in 2001. "They did and he let go and left." Several top-ranked recruits have pulled out of their commitments today. Since Alabama was blindsided, Athletic Director Mal Moore doesn't even have a list of potential coaching candidates.

Speaking of Soccer, here's a pretty good Penalty Kick game (login as guest) courtesy of Roby Baggio's disturbingly well executed site. I wasted a good two hours on this, winning 10 cups, before I realized that it was repeating itself with no end. I wanted to make this a MeFi post but I figured it would be better suited here, before I was confronted with the bastard delay system.

Laces OUT!
I'm assuming there's been some locker room history that I don't care enough about regarding tonyhomo.com, which I used for entertaining live updates during the game. In which case, so I missed the posting window of opportunity to an aftergame wire story by about a minute. Oh well, whatever.
