Sports of all Sorts.....


Maybe we'll never know what the heck happened with Cory Lidle today, but how weird is that? Heck of a way to go, but as I understand it, small planes are allowed to fly that low on the east side of Manhattan and get away with it on a regular basis. Maybe something broke on the plane? Maybe he ran out of fuel? R.I.P, man. He'll most definitely be remembered for the thing he probably wouldn't want to...

But how weird was it when we were all at work opening our browsers and you see "Plane crashes into NYC building." Weird coincidence? As it turns out, yeah it was. Pretty freaky when I first saw it though, got a little feeling in my stomach that wasn't so good there for a second....


And now.... Football.

Cowboys lose in Phili. Let me just say, Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. But seriously, you people who are calling for Tony Romo are idiots. Bledsoe is a much better option. Putting Romo in, is giving up on the season. Plain and simple. Coach Parcells "The New Jersey con man" coaches every season for the now. He has no interest in building something for 4 years down the road. It wasn't Bledsoes fault. It was his freaking O-line, and the lack of the shotgun and max protect, letting those hungry Phili line-backers break through there and rape him.

Funny Stuff though. I just hate Cowboy fans who can only rag on the quarter back and ignore the fact that their beloved Roy Williams blew coverage twice, and pretty much single handedly gave up 14 points. Idiots....Go Eagles.

Hockey???

So far... the Ducks and the Sharks are undefeated, and the Kings are of to a good start. This doesn;t make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. The good news is, if the Stars would like to keep pace with them, they have a lovely 4 game road trip all against division teams, and they can do it then. Still, I see a rough winter ahead for the Stars. Look for them to be 3rd in the division, and 6th or 7th in the conference through January before they push ahead, kind of like last year.....I hope they push hard anyway....

TV....

I don't watch a lot of shows....but the ones I do watch I am very happy thisthis fall. The Office is greatness, Earl is funny. ER is ok I guess.... Studio 60 is the best new show since....The Office I guess. But already there is news that Studio 60 is under performing.... PLEASE WATCH IT. Preferably with a Nielsen ratings box attached to your tv. It's so great, but like Sports Night, it's probably doomed to 2 seasons, or less given the volatile nature of tv execs these days. Heroes is also intriguing, though a little strange.

Maybe one of the most underrated shows though is not on network tv...watch "The Colbert Report" on Comedy Central, 10:30pm CST. It's greatness.

Can't wait for 24 and Scrubs in January though....
