Cubs fall more than seven games out of first, and it’s a death spiral. Sox are seven games out of first place, and we’re throwing an optimism parade. You crazy kids.
Cubs should take four days off more often. But without hurricanes. That would be ideal. Also, I want world peace and a Porsche. See what you can pull together and get back to me.
Call it a hunch, but I’m not so optimistic about a Sox-Cubs “Red Line” World Series this fall.
The average NFL ticket price will be more
than $54. Yes, that includes Cardinals games. Makes me feel better about that $9 I spent to see “Jersey Girl.”
I mean the $9 I loaned to a friend to see “Jersey Girl.”
U.S. Open tennis results won’t run in my column today. Blame Hurricane Apathy.
Twins execs are gathering in the Minnesota town of Brainerd for a three-day retreat to discuss how to beef up attendance. For starters, hold all retreats at the Metrodome.
Deion Sanders, 37, chose No. 37 so receivers don’t forget his age. Like the creaky knees didn’t already give it away.
Coming back at 37. Admirable. Coming back at 37 and having any impact. Impossible.
Sorry for skipping ESPN’s birthday party, but I couldn’t stomach seeing Chris Berman jump out of the cake.
Vijay Singh is the world’s No. 1 golfer. Tiger Woods is No. 2. I remain buried below “Also receiving votes.”
I need to play more golf. We all do. Because there aren’t enough other frustrating things out there begging to suck up more of our precious time.
Five things …
Five players not to watch this season:
Doug Flutie, QB, Chargers
Adimchinobe Echemandu, RB, Browns
Jamal Powell, OL, Texans
Adam Treu, long snapper, Raiders
Mike Brake, TE, Rams
