Yes, I know Miami isn’t the powerhouse they once were and it’s only the second week of the season, but Oklahoma looks mighty impressive. Sam Bradford to Malcolm Kelly looks awfully pretty and you know Bob Stoops’ defense is always nasty.
As long as Texas doesn’t get tripped up like they almost did last week against Arkansas State, their match up with the Sooners on October 6 should be outstanding.
It hasn’t even been a full day since a report by the New York Daily News surfaced that Cardinals outfield Rick Ankiel received a 12-month shipment of HGH, and already another MLB player has also been busted. According to SI.com, Blue Jays third baseman Troy Glaus apparently also received multiple shipments of performance-enhancing steroids via an “illegal internet distribution network”.
The prescriptions, written in Glaus’ name, were obtained through New Hope Health Center, a California-based anti-aging clinic that advertises the sale of anabolic steroids and human growth hormones on its Web site. The prescription was processed by Signature.
Are these guys even trying not to get caught anymore? Glaus ordered and signed for the roids using his own name and had it sent to his home? Are you freaking kidding me? If this is true – again, it’s only speculation at this point – than this is such a slap in baseball fans’ faces and yet another black mark on Bud Selig’s awful career as commissioner.
Hi Bud, this is reality calling. Remember how you’ve been turning a deaf ear to all these steroid accusations that have polluted the once fine game of baseball? Well it’s quickly becoming time for you to start owning up to your dirty little secret.
Matt Mosley of ESPN.com gathered links to every Peyton Manning commercial and Saturday Night Live skit, which proved to be a daunting task with how many the quarterback has appeared in.
To me, nothing beats this skit he did on SNL:
Here are five observations from the Thursday night game:
1. The Colts’ D is better than advertised (or the Saints’ offense isn’t as good as advertised). The New Orleans offense had a great preseason, but was unable to get anything going against the Colts. Drew Brees was under constant pressure and was forced into a couple of boneheaded throws.
2. Joseph Addai looks like a top 5 back. Until Addai proves he is able to carry the load every week, there will continue to be questions about his durability, but he proved he could handle the workload for an entire game, gaining 143 total yards and scoring once on 26 touches. (Addai owners should handcuff Kenton Keith, who looked good in limited duty.)
3. The Colts offense looks to be in mid-season form. Let’s be clear – the Saints defense isn’t very good. But Indy didn’t play down to their level, and that’s important.
4. At times, Sean Payton forgets about the run, and it’s Reggie Bush and Deuce McAllister who’ll suffer. We saw it in the NFC Championship Game last season, and we saw it again last night. When the Saints get behind, Payton gets itchy and starts throwing the ball on every down. Against Indy, he called 41 pass plays and 25 rushes. Since New Orleans trailed for much of the second half, it makes sense that they would attempt more passes than rushes, but that’s a pretty big disparity.
5. This might be the year that Reggie Wayne usurps Marvin Harrison as the Colts’ WR1. This was the first season that I advocated drafting Wayne over Harrison, since Wayne is a player on the rise and Harrison is getting up in years. I think they’ll both have fine seasons (and should both finish in or around the top 5), but Wayne seems to be taking that next step to super-elite status. He doesn’t strike me as a “give me the damn ball” kind of guy, so Harrison/Wayne may flip flop with big games week-to-week.
Few people had a better view of Devin Hester’s opening kick return TD in last year’s Super Bowl than former Bears safety Todd Johnson. Now with the Rams, I got a chance to chat with Johnson for Bullz-Eye.com about his Super Bowl memories, his new team’s chances this year and why LT is so tough to tackle.
