Notre Dame's tight end Will Yeatman went ahead and got arrested for driving a golf cart around while drunk after a post-MSU party (not much to party about, if you ask me), which after Mike Ragone already tore his leg up, leaves Notre Dame with two tight ends, both true freshmen, for the foreseeable future. Weis has said Yeatman won't play again until his legal issue is resolved which will probably be a few games at least. Wonderful.

Not a good one to toss out if you're trying to alleviate our fear of the cover jinx.

He pitched six innings of one-run ball in the Game 7 of the 2006 NLCS that the Mets lost. HUGE performance...

Must be nice. yeah, sitting home and not making any money is totally worth getting to see first round playoff baseball. :banghead: you take a lot of crap for it, but if i could find a wife who was able to provide enough money for me to live the way i want to live and was willing to let me stay at home... screw it, i'd be all over that. Ditto. I'd rather be with my kids than work at most any job unless it was my dream job.

Yeah, I've seen boards where they title things "Anti-Rant" or "Rave" if they want to signal that it's a positive rant.

Blackout here, so I won't be watching.

Deciding that trying to dig out of an 0-3 hole wouldn't be difficult enough for Brady Quinn, the Browns elect to go 0-4 by starting Derek Anderson against Cincinnati. Also, I'm scared to death that Matt Ryan will torch the Panthers even though on paper he shouldn't.

Notre Dame hadn't played a true road game out of conference since December 2005 prior to this year's scheduled trip to Loyola Marymount. So I have no room to say anything.

Personally, I would like Aramis to hit a go-ahead homer with at least two runners on in the bottom of the 8th of Game 5, followed by Kerry Wood getting the save with a strikeout to finish it, but not before Jim Edmonds makes the best catch of the year in center.

I vote we stay Champs. We're 2-0 as Champs.

Harden and Z have both been better on extended rest while Dempster has shown no real difference either way. So it makes sense that they'd pitch Demp on normal rest and give the 'aces' extra days.

My friend managed to get 2 tickets to Game 5 if it happens. First-base side, second deck. Course, I'm not the ticket #2. I'm not sure whether I should be happy for him or not if Game 5 ends up happening.

I doubt Michigan St. is that high. I know in SI and ESPN Purdue is rated as like 4 and 9. I am so pumped for the Maui invitational match up of them vs. Duke. I wanted to see them play them last year. Two evenly matched teams. You guys drew Duke? Hmm...that should be interesting. For whatever reason ND got the honor of being the first big-name team to crush IU this year in the first round of Maui. I'm hoping they get to play UNC or Texas to beef up their strength of schedule, which will be better this season, but still kinda mediocre outside of UCLA.

Good, I wouldn't mind Harangody staying a tad under the radar again. Hasheem Thabeet is not good, BTW. Just a guy who throws himself around and blocks shots. There were many Huskies that worried me more than him.

I didn't get a rejection e-mail. Makes me worried that my entry got lost somehow.

I'm not even watching and I miss another 6-run inning. Figures... Did they show the 'Cubs have way more 5-run innings than anyone in the NL' graphic again?

I want Dempster to start at home because he can pitch twice in the series (once out of the pen) if he does. I would go Harden/Dempster/Zambrano/Lilly if I had my druthers.

Yeah, by the time I realized that my post was more rant-y than I intended it to be I was away from a computer. But still...Anderson sucks. 8-)

No, but I wouldn't have bet Cleveland was dumb either. Good move, guys. How's that 43.5 QB rating working out for your long-term signed starting signalcaller? bitter brady quinn fan face. Bitter wouldn't describe it well enough. I'm bitter at Miami for stupidly drafting a returner instead of him. I'm incensed at Cleveland for continuing to run this flash in the pan out there. They'll probably give him a chance to suck again against a horrible defense (hello Bengals), and then hopefully make the right move. Pardon me for being annoyed that the first player with legit star potential to come out of my favorite school since I was conscious enough to care is benched behind a scrub.

Geovany Soto - 3 run homer in the bottom of the 9th to tie the game against the Brewers Derrek Lee - Probably his homer to lead off the 7th against the Sox in the game Aramis ended up walking off in. Or his awesome play at Philly to save the game. Ryan Theriot - He had a 4-hit game right? Mark DeRosa - Colorado homer Aramis Ramirez - Gotta be the Phillies slam. If only because by then he had earned my absolute and total trust and I had a feeling something amazing was coming. Alfonso Soriano - The Cards game where he was awful, gave away runs, but then hit the game-tying homer in the 9th in a game we lost anyway Jim Edmonds - I was at the Baltimore series where he had I think 7 hits or something, including 2 big flies Kosuke Fukudome - Obviously Opening Day Reed Johnson - Giants' walk-off hit Mike Fontenot - Atlanta homer Ronny Cedeno - The AB he had in the first game against the Mets that ended up in a bases-loaded single Henry Blanco - walk off single against the Cards Daryle Ward - Go ahead 3-run HR off Marlins closer Kevin Gregg Carlos Zambrano - No-no Rich Harden - His first start. Ted Lilly - Yadi gets the business Jason Marquis - Probably the start at LA on ESPN where he was pretty good and it was part of a string of good starts Ryan Dempster - Complete game against Atlanta Kerry Wood - Probably the nasty pitch to get Prince in this last Brewers' series Carlos Marmol - The All Star Game that reminded me of what he was, but also the Giants meltdown. Also the game at Houston where he came in with men on 2nd and 3rd no one out and I knew he wouldn't let anyone score. And he didn't. Bob Howry - Getting the win in extras..I can't remember what game, I think the Blanco walk-off game, where he pitched a good inning. Jon Lieber - The "Bench/Morgan/Larkin homered" game ETA: I keep forgetting Jeff Samardzija. I'll remember his save against Florida above all else for him but obviously I've enjoyed his being a Cub this year.

I've got a dumb question. can that be formatted to get on your ipod? Just import it into your iTunes library and the evil Apple program does it for you.

No, but I wouldn't have bet Cleveland was dumb either. Good move, guys. How's that 43.5 QB rating working out for your long-term signed starting signalcaller?

Darren McFadden finished 2nd in the Heisman voting in 2006 when he barely played in the team's most important game, which by the way, they lost by 56. Splits showed that he was voted 1st at a wildly disproportionate rate in the Southeast. SEC sportswriters win.

I drafted Daunte Culpepper with I think a 3rd-round pick in 2004, and he almost single handedly led my team to a fantasy title - I won the regular season but ended up in 3rd place. I then drafted him in the 2nd round the following year. I have not quite forgiven him - even though it wasn't his fault he got hurt, he was awful up until then too.

The answer to your question is probably Derrek Lee, bukie. He's classy, quiet and isn't quite good enough to inspire a lot of derision.
