It is late April.....the NFL season ended almost four months ago for the Green Bay Packers, yet Brett Favre has not made a decision if he is going to play next season.....
Over the last week or so I have heard some NFL analysts defend Favre’s hesitation to make a decision.....they said he earned the right to take his time....personally though, I think these analysts are dead wrong....
Football is a TEAM sport....not an individual sport.....and with Favre holding the Packers hostage while he calls press conferences just to say he hasn't made up his mind, free agent players are being signed by other teams....the NFL draft is less than two weeks away.....
If Favre cares about the Packers and their fans, he would have made a decision by now....instead, the entire world of the Green Bay Packers is revolving around the guy from Kiln, Mississippi..... Yul Brenner was classic as Ramses in the movie The Ten Commandments.....There is talk that Texas’ Vince Young could drop as far as 12th or 13th in the draft.....I don’t believe it....he will not get past the Oakland Raiders....
You can write this one down in ink, A.J. Hawk is a tremendous linebacker....
I have yet to receive my Mel Kiper draft book.....
After this disastrous season in New York, don’t be surprised if Knicks head coach Larry Brown bows out.....especially after his health scare this week....
Watch out for Lawyer Ron and Bob and John for the Kentucky Derby....
The best unknown player in the NBA is Orlando’s Dwight Howard....this kid scored 28 points and grabbed 26 rebounds on Saturday night....
I’m not a Cleveland Indians fan, but I do like Travis Hafner and Grady Sizemore – a lot!!!.
..
Whatever happened to former San Francisco Giant and National League MVP Kevin Mitchell??.....
This year must be a bad year for seasonal allergies....I must have taken at least six Allegra pills over the last two days.....I am a five tool allergy person: sniffling, sneezing, itchy ears, runny nose, and scratchy throat.....
Personally, I believe that most of the people who live in Iran don’t want nuclear power or this showdown with Europe and the United States.....it’s just unfortunate that some nut job is the country’s president....
Someway or another, Barry Bonds is going to go down....CNN reported that a federal grand jury has been hearing evidence for more than a month about whether Bonds perjured himself during his Dec. 4, 2003, testimony....that is on top of Major League Baseball’s investigation concerning steroid use in the league.....
I believe baseball should investigate Bonds....and if there is clear proof that he knowingly took ‘roids, then he must pay the price....
However, I do not believe the federal government should pursue a case against Bonds involving perjury.....even if Bonds lied under oath, so what!!!.....how quickly we forget that a sitting President of the United States lied while under oath when being asked about a personal incident in his life....The freakin President of the United States lied while under oath!!!!....So what is the difference between Bill Clinton lying under oath and Barry Bonds???.....
Bonds, did not commit a capital crime....he did not lie to protect himself or someone else involving a crime such as murder, rape, robbery, etc......he lied to protect himself, just as Clinton did when he said, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman!".....think about it, the only person Bonds hurt was himself.....
So why are some of the people who defended Clinton for lying under oath now wanting to see Bonds go down?.....we all know Bonds is an arrogant ass, but please, tell me what is the difference between what he is accused of and what Clinton flat out did???.....is it the color of Bonds skin?.....
Let’s get this straight, I am not a Barry Bonds fan....but, I think the time has come to stop this Barry Bonds witch hunt outside the realm of baseball.....let Major League Baseball continue its investigation and finally put an end to this ongoing Barry Bonds drama.....ultimately, Bonds will be judged by his peers and the fans of the game....
As a New York Yankees fan, I miss Pedro Martinez in a Red Sox uniform.....
Joakim Noah should stay for his junior year at Florida.....I bet Vince Young wished he would have stayed for his senior year at Texas.....
Why hasn’t any college coach taken the time to teach the "skyhook" to any of their centers?.....that was Kareem Abdul Jabbar’s bread and butter shot in the NBA.....
I think Katie Couric should have stayed at NBC.....she had a nice gig going....
Did you see NBC’s Campbell Brown got married on Sunday.....who was the lucky guy?.....
I joined a fantasy baseball league this year for the first time....already having fun by building toward next season....
This Saturday marks four weeks until the Kentucky Derby.....
You have to go to Applebee’s for their Happy Hour – half priced drinks and appetizers....
I can’t believe "The King of Queens" may be on the chopping block with CBS.....
I’m tired of hearing about Barry Bonds and this steroid flap.....let’s just play some ball....
I don’t care if Jimmy Rollins does get a hit in 57 straight games.....Joe DiMaggio stills owns the record because his hitting streak occurred in one season not over the course of two seasons....
By the way, the next time anyone bitches about Alex Rodriguez’s salary, they should also include the lovely Katie Couric.....Ms. Katie was making $15 million a year at NBC, and sources report that she will be making more than that at CBS.....just something to think about....
March Madness may be over, but it only serves as a prelude to baseball season....and more specifically, baseball predictions.....below are my guesses, hunches, and wishes for this year’s baseball season.....
A.L. East 
1. Yankees - New York should be steady as usual and make the playoffs.....look for the Rat, Randy Johnson, to improve after a sub-par first year in the Bronx.....
2. Red Sox - this doesn’t even resemble the same Red Sox team that won the title 2 years ago.....but they still have Ortiz and Manny....the key to their success lays with Keith Foulke and his ability to close games....
3. Blue Jays - give this team credit, they have spent some money in the off-season and are trying to win – unlike other teams....if they want to get back to their winning ways, they should start by going back to the old Blue Jay uniforms from their glory days....
4. Orioles - this team is just stuck in slow motion....they dropped a ton of money on the steroid induced stats of Miguel Tejada....Nicky Markakis, a Greek, may be the next Gus Triandos....
5. Devil Rays - this team is just oozing with young talent – BJ Upton, Delmon Young, Carl Crawford, Seth McClung, etc.....if they improve this year, look for the new owner to spend some money during the offseason....
A.L. Central
1. White Sox - 
this team is loaded on offense and starting pitching.....but their Achilles heel is going to be at closer....I just have a feeling that Bobby Jenks is just another one season wonder such as Mark Wohlers and John Rocker.....the Sox will need to get another closer....look for Jim Thome to win Comeback Player of the Year....
2. Indians - don’t get your panties stuck in your rear Indian fans!!!....Cleveland will have a very good team, but they will not make the playoffs....think about it, they lost Millwood, Elarton, Crisp, and Howry.....Wickman is a year older as the closer and they never spent the money to get that big right handed bat they needed.....
3. Tigers - what the heck, let’s go out on the limb and take Detroit for third.....they have a good pitching staff with Bonderman, Maroth, and the new youngster Verlander....Granderson is going to be good in centerfield and Rodney will be solid as the closer....
4. Twins - this team is in transition....gone are the heart and soul of the teams from the early 2000s.....they are banking on Johan Santana and Joe Nathan....they need to hit on Francisco Liriano in order to move back up in the standings.....
5. Royals - the crown heads have a stud coming up in third baseman Alex Gordon.....
A.L. West
1. Athletics - Huston Street is sweet as the closer....and their rotation is once again formidable after losing former aces Hudson and Mulder....
2. Angels - the Angels will always be solid as long as Mike Scioscia is the manager....he is highly underrated....it also helps to have a healthy Vlad in your lineup too....
3. Rangers - the Rangers and Orioles are like twins.....both teams seem stuck in slow motion....I love Mark Teixeira....he wins the MVP this season....
4. Mariners - how many days until the Seahawks open training camp???...
Divisional Playoffs

White Sox over Athletics
