Monday Morning Musings...

Hockey is still exciting (attendance is up 4%)...and my Carolina Hurricanes are taking advantage of the new rules. Go Canes! One caveat - attendance is up AT THE VENUES - need to have viewership up ON THE TV! That will ensure hockey's return to prominence.

Who says public inebriation, lewd behavior, beligerence with police, and fighting are the sole calling of professional football players - now we have cheerleaders (and bull dyke lesbians to boot) shouldering the load of stupidity and lecherous public behavior - check this article out.

So TO got into a fistfight (well, a skirmish) with TO. Nice to see that SOMEONE on the playing field has the balls to stand up to TO. Quite frankly, I think that Donovan McNabb NEEDS to stand up and call bullshit on that stupid ass. Forget a "team only" private meeting - since TO is taking it all public, I'm sorry, McNabb needs some sort of public show of strength and leadership. At least in my humble opinion.

It is truly to see that last gasp of Brett Favruh. The team around his isn't very good, he's pressing, and the Pack are looking horrible. The bad part of this is the fact that he'll hang on next to go out on a good note. And maybe duplicate the debacle that is this season. Phooey, a lousy end to a great quarterback.

On the MLB basepaths, here's a tid bit: Kim Ng, a vice president and assistant general manager for the Los Angeles Dodgers the past four years, became the first candidate to interview for the team's vacant GM job. Team spokesman Josh Rawitch said Ng was interviewed Saturday. If hired to succeed Paul DePodesta, she would become major league baseball's first female GM. Before joining the Dodgers, the 36-year-old Ng served as vice president and assistant general manager for the New York Yankees from 1998-2001. Trial by fire with the Yanks? Interesting to follow this story; going to be interesting to see how the "boys of the GM club" will accept a female compadre, no matter how qualified she might be.

In NBA news...ah, screw it, who cares? The only vaguely interesting story line is Ron Artest's return. Million dollar game, 5 cent head. Time to see if he's really over the incident in Detroit and has changed, or if he's still the same old thug...
