1. Violent games
Brett Favre got a cut hand, a swollen forearm, a blister and a bruised right shin Sunday, and that was before his holiday shopping on Michigan Avenue.
2. Just to be clear
Yes, Chicago is considering a ban on smoking in bars and restaurants.
No, this doesn’t mean the Bears defense can stop lighting up opponents.
3. Perfect formula
Can’t argue with the BCS. USC vs. Texas = Perfection. Now BCS, let’s talk about how to get Leno off the air …
4. Have pulse, will travel
The 47-year-old ex-NFL QB Gary Hogeboom gets voted off “Survivor: Guatemala.” Watch–I bet the Jets pick him up.
5. You’re surrounded
Detroit fans booed so loudly
Sunday that the Lions’ Roy Williams said it felt like “a road game.” Or a game in a city that can’t stand to even look at you.
6. Insert originality here
Variety says Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson plays a football player who discovers he’s a father in an upcoming Disney comedy. Are these scripts written by chimps or are they spit out by machines?
7. Front rooooow
Mets first baseman Carlos
Delgado married his girlfriend in Puerto Rico. Tell me he stood for the ceremony.
8. Moving on up
The Detroit News notes that coaches on Detroit’s four pro sports teams were shoved out during the past 12 months. How lucky for those coaches.
9. Sad, but true
By announcing that the Victoria’s Secret Fashion show is her last runway appearance, Tyra Banks retires without ever having won a Super Bowl ring.
FIVE MORE …
… dramatic announcements from me:
– I will never mock another Detroit team.
– Corey Patterson is not the answer to improving the Hawks’ power play.
– “Detroit sucks!” And I apologize for my transgressions.
– Curling gets no respect.
– This is the last line of the column.
