According to league-mandated roster limits, I’ll be putting a few readers on waivers this week. Prove to me that you want to be a member of this team and go tackle that fella standing next to you.
Come back, Brock Forsey, come back.
Stay away, Bryan Robinson, stay away.
Return my calls, Mandy Moore, return my calls.
Hey, congratulations to the Fighting Illini on their football team’s annual victory.
When it comes to college football, ESPN analyst Trev Alberts is never wrong. When it comes to Trev Alberts, I am never right.
The Big Ten’s first week of video replay went pretty smoothly, but it was awkward when the guy running the TiVo upstairs at the Wisconsin game ruled that NBC’s fall lineup is stronger than CBS’.
And he blew that call, absolutely blew it.
The Big Ten went 9-2 in season openers. Northwestern, Michigan State, drop and give me 20.
Let me be the first to notice that the Bears remained undefeated this weekend.
Lions come to town with Dick Jauron. Imagine how excited he must be to be coaching again in Chicago.
Have you heard? ESPN turns 25. And it’s taking … all … year … long … to celebrate.
First it postpones the Cubs, then it postpones college football. That Hurricane Frances is really starting to tick me off.
Wait, it also postponed a Devil Rays game. I take it all back.
It’s nice that the Cubs got Labor Day weekend off. Gave them some time for those home improvement projects.
Five things …
– Open skate for bored NHL players.
– Create Pro Curling League.
– Make world’s largest frozen margarita.
– Turn up the heat, turn on the dogsled races.
– Launch new revue “Whizzer on Ice.”
