I don't care about Yankees-Red Sox. They are playing baseball all around the country, yet when I turn on ESPN for a little background noise, I have to listen to them analyzing the way the grounds crew is hosing down the home plate area. I don't recall seeing a single highlight from any other games this morning. All I get to see is Coco Crisp letting a fly ball go past his glove and over a 2-foot "wall" for a home run. I get to listen to Theo Epstein bitch about not being able to compete *only* having a 120 million dollar payroll. Why did the Red Sox have to suck so bad this weekend? The endless droning about their misfortune has made me lose complete track of...

What color Terrell Owens' exercise bike is. I'm a Browns fan - and living in Dayton, I don't expect to get too much Browns news dropped in my lap from day-to-day. That may be a good thing I guess, because any Browns news is bad news. But I'd surely expect to hear more about the Bengals in these parts than I do about Dallas. God Bless America. There's no other country in the world where you can become ubiquitous for doing absolutely nothing. Terrell Owens is the Paris Hilton of the NFL.

That's all for now.

And in other news, Charlie Weis is a brilliant football coach.

TO, ND/Weis, NYY vs. Red Sox, Barry Bonds/steroid use, and lately USC are all issues that ESPN cannot let go of. They pound them into your head and refuse to acknowledge anything else going on. Soon we will add Reggie Bush to the list as they just had a 7 minute segment on his greatness after a 2 carry 8 yard preseason performance. I wish there was a viable option to Sportscenter.

I didn't hear the Red Sox bitch about it when they bought the World Series they have.

This is why I love being a Cincinnati fan, with our payroll, we know we cant compete, but when we do, its a great feeling.

Yeah, this is what happens when you accidentally have Cold Pizza on in the background while you try to do some work. I just wanted something on TV that I could ignore. Apparently, an infomercial would've been a wiser option.

agreed.
I wanted to see the Sox/Tigers highlights and I had to endure 8 minutes of Sox/Yanks and the 10 minutes on a freakin preseason game where Bush had 2 decent but not spectacular runs. But then the idiots on sportscenter acted as if we'd just seen Barry Sanders in action in his prime.

Wait until New Orleans plays Atlanta 2x during the season...there will be a week-long Sprtscenter, 24/7, completely devoted to Stuart Scott poetry about Reggie Bush and Michael Vick :shake:

Look at the bright side. At least they aren't hyping Clarett and/or bashing Ohio State as much as they use to.:biggrin:

Is it it really still August? Can we just void this next week and go straight to the Northern Illinois game?

Finally, say what you will about the Yankees (The only sports team I hate more than the Dallas Cowboys and Notre Dame) they have someone in the organization who knows something about talent. There are teams that can compete with their payroll but haven't put the corresponding talent on the field. The Rupert Murdock Dodgers for instance... the Red Sox, the Braves, the Cubbies
