Quickshots: ESPN, The World Wide Leader In Farve
- There is no doubt that ESPN will milk Monday night's upcoming football game like a prized cow at the Manitowoc County fair. (Sports Media Watch)
- And you thought that I was kidding yesterday when I said that they'd be burning Favre gear around here.
- An excellent take on "whiplash" Bears fans. (Windy City Gridiron)
- For sale cheap by owner: 225 pounds of crap (MLB Trade Rumors)
- Our hero and role model has classified this Sunday's contest against the Lions as "must win." (Rosenblog)
- Alleged White Sox reliever Scott Linebrink continues to search for his first half success. It would be my fondest wish that he do this in another city. And take Tony Pena with you!
- Chuck Knoblaugh may be retired from baseball, but that doesn't mean he can't still hit. I think this story would be better if he got the yips again and started hitting himself.
- I wish the media would lay off Lou Piniella. Who else would they want to manage the Cubs? Tony the Useless isn't coming, Sparky Anderson is too old and everyone else that is any good (Mike Scosia, Ron Gardenhire, Terry Francona) is otherwise engaged and happy where they are at. Would you really bring in an assclown like Bobby Valentine? Or Bob Brenley? I hear Willie Randolph and Clint Hurdle are available. Seriously, who else would the Cubs want to run that team besides Piniella? Kids, it's time to STFU.
- Maryland's AD says she will "evaluate" head football coach Ralph Friedgen following the season. The big boy has two years left on his deal, but chances are he's done after this year. "Evaluate" is AD code for "I'll fire him, but not right now." Others sure to be evaluated following the season include UTEP's Mike Price, Virginia's Al Groh, Washington State's Paul Wolfe and Memphis' Tommy West. (Football Rumor Mill)
- I was doing college baseball play by play when Sal Fasano was a catcher at the University of Evansville. Now 38, he's become the kind of blue collar player we all dream of being. Sort of a Thurman Munson without the talent. Here's the story of a guy who is hanging on because he doesn't know how to do anything else.
- Joe Posnanski calls the hiring of Eric Mangini in Cleveland the worst coaching hire in the last 25 years. Apparently he's never heard of the patron saint of bad coaches...Rich Kotite. (Fantasy Players Network)
- White Sox Chris Getz is having surgery to correct a sports hernia. He also had surgery at the end of last year. One more, and he'll be known as "oft injured" Chris Getz. (Southside Sox)
- Isn't it ironic that IU's tribute to Myles Brand will occur OFF campus?
- Oklahoma football coach Bob Stoops shocks fans across the country when he says he job isn't to prepare players for the NFL. Amen, my brother.
- Today's List: Back in the day, football coaches had to have off season jobs to supplement their income. Here are twelve. (Mental Floss)
