Today, we salute you, Mr. Fantasy Football loser.
As you sit with that blank stare, alone, checking statistics on your computer, you ask yourself, “Why oh why didn’t I draft Shaun Alexander?”
In a perfect world, the end of a fifteen year stretch as the face of the Chicago White Sox would also mark the end of a remarkable career.
Unfortunately, Frank Thomas is probably going to hook on somewhere as a DH and chase the elusive 500 homerun plateau, making him an over the top sure in for the Hall of Fame.
In my opinion, he already is.

Fix Vick- Quick
Michael Vick is a quarterback that possesses a combination of skills that is extremely rare. He can run with the best, he completes passes few others can make, and his arm strength is almost incomparable. And, even though his completion percentage leaves much to be desired, it doesn’t reflect his decision making. In his 3 full years as a starter, the most interceptions he’s thrown in a season are 12. I always say the most difficult aspect of the game for young quarterbacks is learning to not turn the ball over. Making plays will come, just cut down on the interceptions. Vick’s done that, so what’s the problem?

Speed Strip
Tim Montgomery’s 9.78 seconds had him on top of the world.
He didn’t know that his fall would be just as fast.
Only 3 NFC teams make the top 10 this week. The conference is there for the Seahawks to lose. And the AFC is tightening up with the sudden rise of the Patriots and the inconsistent play of the Bengals. Here are the week 17 Power Rankings.

Enough is Enough Marbury Must Go
The message is clear, the basketball gods could not have set up more of an ideal situation, Stephon Marbury must go. It has been well documented that Marbury needs to be the biggest personality in town or he has to go, and by all means we should let him go.
As another year draws to an end, the holiday season is grasping people from all over. The rush to give gifts and the wait to receive them is foremost on the mind of many. The fact that a person may not deserve a gift or there maybe little love between giver and recipient is of little consequence. If potential giver is likely to be recipient of another giver, then potential giver becomes giver. Across the country neighbors and co-workers who are very low on gift giving lists will receive gifts anyway. This passage of presents mixed with a pinch of “love” often smells worse than old eggnog. It is for this very reason that Johnny Damon’s decision to sign with the New York Yankees instead of the Boston Red Sox represents a simpler spirit of Christmas.

Bidding for Bush
By Alex Fitzsimmons, email [email protected]
It doesn’t have playoff implications. It’s not Marino vs. Montana. In fact, this game is about as meaningful as the NHL. But it’s the game I’ll be watching Week 17.
Continued from “We Are Penn State Football – Part II – PSU vs. scUM Part I of II”
One second remaining on the clock. The Penn State defense gets set at the line, as does the Wolverine offense. 4th and 4 from the Penn State ten yard line but that doesn’t matter. Michigan needs to score here or the game is over. Henne drops back; stays in the pocket, looks, now finds a receiver down the middle into the end-zone…

A Little Reunion in L.A.
There is a reunion in Los Angeles and the Dodgers are quietly forming into a contender. After hiring former Red Sox manager Grady Little to fill their skipper role and replace Jim Tracy, the Los Angeles Dodgers already looked better on paper.
Little, with a record of 188-136 in two seasons with the Red Sox, is a players’ manager, a guy that keeps things on course and consistently rights a bobbing ship. Upon arrival in Los Angeles, Grady Little saw the reasons the Dodgers struggled so much last year: injuries and lack of experience.
