1. Can you hear us now?
Jalen Rose for Latrell Sprewell was called “silly” Monday by Bulls GM Jerry Krause. We confess. When we started this whole game of “Telephone,” it was “Fail on those for the spell we tell.” We don’t understand it either. Thanks for playing.
2. Nothing quite says festive the same way
Al Michaels and John Madden busted out the yellow coats last night. Yeah, 500 pounds of eye-stinging announcer was just the right touch for Monday Night Football’s 500th broadcast.
3. Hootie digs in
Can’t teach an old dog new tricks? Might be time to get a new dog.
4. We can rebuild them
The Bears lost DB Reggie Austin (knee) for the year Sunday. Mississippi State held Mario Austin out of an exhibition game Monday. No word if Steve Austin is available Tuesday.
5. Sign language
FYI: The Rams’ MVP QB from UNI will be MIA on MNF vs. the Bears for a DNP-CD. We bring you this ASAP on the QT with some TLC. P.S. P.O.V. is on P. 36.
SIXTH MAN
6. Who are these guys?
Athletes in Action has a team to serve as a warm up before the college basketball season. Nike has a team. EA Sports has a team. The biggest reason they’re out there is to get their names in the paper. Well not here, you sneaks.
