Eric Berry for sending the guy who wins the Heisman spinning 720 degrees in the air at the podium - or for intercepting it and returning it to where it rightfully belongs

But yes, I agree.

Hey, Roscoe...
How ’bout FSU and that game Thursday night? That ought to shut up the Bowden critics for a while.
Heh.
P.S. I’m not a T.J. Yates (UNC QB) fan. Bad arm, etc.
F.O.D. & D. #1(Friend of Dukes and Desmond)
If everybody knew what Bobby was doing to hurt our program, things would be very different. He’s trying to milk as much money as possible out of the school and the boosters. He is clueless.
It seems pretty obvious he's trying to get all the money.
I can’t believe the school and the boosters have ceded all the power to him.
F.O.D. & D. #1(Friend of Dukes and Desmond)
Well, it's finally ending...
They’ll either strip his hiring power away and let him coach one more year or he won’t agree to that and he’ll leave.
Rumors floating that if he leaves FSU after this year, he will go coach at UAB with his boy Tommy as a coordinator.
Yankees end the inning with the bases loaded...
BWHA, HA,HA. Come on Angels, get some runs. I can live with a Phillies-Angels World Series.

I was back at the old Dohouse Homestead in Orange County last week...
…my mom wanted to go to a Ducks games. It was quite bizarre to be at a hockey game where everyone was glued to TVs showing a baseball game (the opposite of my experiences at the Red Loft this season…). Anyhow, to judge by the listless play the Ducks showed in their 5-0 shellacking at the hands of St. Louis, they’re as bad at hockey at the Nats were at baseball this season.

I have Vancouver/Edmonton on Screen 1. Giants/AZ on Screen 2, and the Yanks/Angles on Screen 3…all with the sound off as I listen to some music and write…

Hey, Ed...how 'bout those Saints today?
Was they amazing, or what?
I am pretty happy for them. I’m guessing you are, too.
F.O.D. & D. #1(Friend of Dukes and Desmond)
Does Ed like any teams from where he lives?
He uses New Jersey as his excuse to pick any team from around the country.
If you lived in NJ you'd understand...the Jets and Giants won't admit they're from NJ even though they play there...
The Devils played a boring a$$ trap system for a decade that was effective but painful to watch…
And who the he** wants to cheer for the Mets and Yankees…since we can’t have a team of our own, (George S. = Peter A.) i had to look elsewhere for a baseball team…and the Expos’ caps were so darn cool….

Couldn't watch it, but the score updates were hilarious, wish I'd been able to see it...
10 more games and I’ll get real excited…

That NFL RED ZONE channel is fantastic.
You all should try it next Sunday. Live looks at all games when a team is threatening to score. So cool. And no commercials.

I think I was close for his whole career.
.229 is horrible though. They had to fire him.
I TRUST RIZZO.
"One other note on Acta: Even with a .385 career winning percentage, he's still the most winning major-league manager the Indians have hired since John McNamara in 1990."
“Battling two seriously disappointing seasons in the past three years, a restless fan base and declining attendance, the Indians have hired a man with a .385 career winning percentage as a manager.”
Close……. He turned down the Astros job because it was only for two years…..Who knew the manager in demand would be Acta?
(word is because he came cheap….)

The Indians will have a better record in 2010 than they did in 2009.
It’s a Bowdenesque prediction. Maybe Ed will give me credit in September of 2010.
Very weak division.
He'll have three years of rebuilding.........sounds familiar...

Neither can I.
I remember listening to some of his interviews when he played for Oakland…definitely NOT a rocket scientist.
F.O.D. & D. #1(Friend of Dukes and Desmond)
I know...just combining all steroid cheater excuses and catch phrases.
Maybe he will wave his finger and deny everything.
I was surprised when I read it...
Here’s hoping the scrutiny and talk distracts the Cardinals during the season.

OK...an earned run off Rivera is huge.
Now pitch well in the aeth and then score a few in the 9th off the legend.
Juan Rivera........you're our only hope....

Roscoe has a huge sports weekend next weekend...
Caps game Friday…then up to Baltimore Saturday night for bar hopping, then attending Ravens game Sunday against the undefeated Broncos. WooHoo.
Have fun because baseball season is officially OVER.
Now I wait for basketball…the real ball game.

Well that's it. Nightmare scenario realized.
I hate both teams so much. I think I am actually for the Yankees just because I see the horrible Phillies fans more often and I want them to lost their last game of the season.
BOOO!
Yankees win. Going to be rooting for the Phillies. I know they’re fans are rude, but I will choose National League over American League most of the time. And I will NEVER root for the Yankees.

Q: "Who's Watching this Crap?"
A: Not me.
