It’s Olympic time, so let’s figure out who’s really number one. Americans are a rather competitive lot. Nothing in America can be appreciated for what it is; everything has to be quantified in a list as either better than or worse than something else. This is probably the reason why we get lists such as the "Top 25 Sports Movies," "America’s Most Wanted," and cookie-cutter value meals from McDonald’s. The Olympics would be a great topic for today in debating whether America, as many establishment types would lead you to believe, actually produces the best athletes in the world. But since I find watching most Olympic events about as riveting as a six-cassette set of "NPR’s Greatest Hits", today we’ll tackle a question which has been burning up the airwaves on WEEI today: Which team is REALLY number one in Boston, the Red Sox or the Patriots?
Its time to look at the week that was through the eyes of Daniel Collins, host of “Sports Propaganda”. This week Terrell Owens, Lisa Fernandez and Ken Griffey Jr. are all targets for debate.
The New England Patriots are kings of the NFL world right now. All of the remaining teams are mere peasants fighting for any scrap of land to claim as their own. This is the glory that comes with two Super Bowl trophies in three years and a current sixteen game winning streak. Who can topple the mighty Pats? I don’t believe anyone in the AFC East is capable, so once again I see New England winning their division. That may be only the first of their many conquests in 2004. Take a look below to see how I think the AFC East will take shape in the new NFL year.
NFC Norris Division is always an interesting dogfight. Will Minnesota live up to their potential or will GB continue to be FAVRE and AHMAN Green to the playoffs year after year? Or perhaps as in 2001 the Bears or Lions will win the division out of the blue…well…here’s my thoughts on the NFC NORTH…
Me, Raffy and Greg, all the way to the Hall.
This is Fantasy Football week at Sportscolumn.com. I just got back from a weekend in Vegas for my first live Fantasy Football draft and I’m all fired up. We’ve had this fantasy football league for about 7 years now but this year we decided to step it up and have a live draft in Las Vegas. I tell you what, there is nothing more fun than talking trash during a draft when most of the participants have been drinking for the last 12 hours.
All this week, I will be publishing fantasy football related columns including a recap of my draft but today, I am giving you my updated Rules of the Fantasy Draft. Stick to these drafting axioms and you will come out on top.

My writing colleague here at SportsColumn, "geeefunk7," wrote today in a piece about Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Terrell Owens: "The fans in Philadelphia do not care if Terrell Owens calls out former teammates on their sexual orientation. They do not care whether the accent goes on the beginning of his name or the end. They do not care if he openly despises the mandatory team rule, requiring all players to wear shorts over their tights during training camp. They do not even care about his history of touchdown celebrations, and his sure intentions on creating some new ones for this upcoming season." Certainly, the Philly faithful have every right to overlook some of the baggage that T.O. brings to the table, and instead take the very Dan Duquette-esque philosophy that a player’s performance on the field is all that matters. They certainly have every right to embrace Owens’ considerable talent, his top-notch football skills, and his acceptance of his anointed role as the savior of the Eagles from their three straight NFC Championship game heartbreaks. But for Philly fans in particular and NFL fans in general, if they are human beings with any sense of compassion or conscience, they should certainly take umbrage to Owens’ ignorant, savage, unfounded innuendoes regarding former teammate Jeff Garcia’s sexual preferences.
