At any point in a hockey game, a real brawl can break out. And by real brawl, I’m not talking about the no real damage done of pushing and shoving in football or the big haymakers intended to miss of basketball. Strangely enough, baseball is the closest to hockey in terms of real fighting.

I was hoping for some positive Philly sports news after the Super Bowl but it just ain’t happening. The Sixers are showing “no heart”, the Flyers don’t have a goalie (one is out with a knee injury, the other is hanging out with David Duval.) and the Phillies haven’t even reported yet. It’s a desperate day in my life when I’m anxiously awaiting a baseball season.

Being a die hard Eagles fan, I couldn’t bring myself to watch the Super Bowl yesterday. Partly because I was bitter and partly because the whole spectacle of the Super Bowl is rather anti-climatic. However, as I was doing a bit of reading, I was inundated with instant messages about Justin Timberlake ripping the top off of Janet Jackson.

Just when I thought it was going to be a slow week, (Sportscolumn.com is not officially recognizing this year’s Super Bowl as an actual game. This is similar to last year when the football season, for all intents and purposes, ended with the Conference championships.) Page Six is reporting that it has a copy of a sex tape starring Dr. J.

If football were like Pretty Woman, well, then we all have lots of problems. But I can’t help but imagine Terrell Owens walking into the city of Philadelphia to talk to the fans.

Two years ago, the Eagles almost pulled off a stunning upset at St. Louis. But they weren’t supposed to win that game so, while the fans were disappointed, we knew that this was an improving team. Last year, we were supposed to beat the Bucs at home but got outcoached. It was like a gut shot followed by a kick to the groin. This year, we were believers but last year’s pain numbed us so much that losing to Carolina wasn’t really that painful.

After the Packers beat Seattle last Sunday, Cris Collingsworth noted that there were angels floating above Lambeau Field. I love how the media will latch on to a story and beat it into the ground. As if sports announcers weren’t in love with Brett Favre already, this “charmed team” bit has them so far up his ass, he’s gonna have to use Colon Blow to get them out.

This title could be about so many things. The first thing that comes to mind is the bait and switch that some Philly teams seem to do around championship time… BUT… this is the holidays so I’ll refrain from any negative comments about my beloved Philly teams. Next week is fair game though.

Am I the only one who has no problem with this? This makes ESPN’s front page? Knickerbocker, please!

I’m not some crazy conspiracy theorist but after watching the Lakers – Timberwolves game, you have to wonder how much interest the league has in LA moving on to the second round. Let’s see, LA is one of the biggest markets out there with two superstars while Minnesota is in a small market has one superstar. Smells fishy, doesn’t it? The WWE has better disguised fixes.
