I forgot Indiana has a football program. A sink hole in the end zone? Symbolism of some sort don’t you think? Well it’s not like one end zone ever gets used there. Just make the visiting team go the other way the whole game instead of switching directions. Actually, I don’t believe IU’s story. I think that’s where Kelvin Sampson is buried.

“I have grown as much as I can at ESPN and decided to expand my horizons. I have created a brand and it’s time to expand into other opportunities in TV, radio, Internet, publishing, movies and public speaking, among others. My resume speaks for itself as a football analyst, and I believe I can talk all sports with the best of them.”

But who needs a study? I’ve got two eyes.

I know it’s usually not a normal part of shoulder surgery, but can they wire his jaw shut, too?

If Tynes had missed again, Coughlin may have committed the first in-game homicide since The Last Boy Scout. At least this Patriots-Giants matchup won’t have Bryant Gumbel calling the action. The good news for the Packers, this all but guarantees Favre will be back next season. However, the myth that he’s a great cold-weather quarterback is busted … at least this year. He was great in frigid temps when he was young, but old people freeze quicker. Someone knit him a shaw. I just hope Coughlin doesn’t have to lose his nose before the Super Bowl. He looked like he had a severe case of frost bite and Eli still looks perpetually confused even after a win.

As for the Pats-Bolts game, all I have to say is Norm should be fired for punting with less than 8 minutes to play, down two scores and on the Pats 36 yard line. Gutless. Another case of a coach trying to keep the score close rather than trying to win the game. My gambling tip of the week: run and grab the Giants and the Over before the New York money brings the spread down. The only thing that scares me is that with two weeks off, Belichick might get the Death Star operational by kickoff.

“Regardless of where the pendulum rests, this will be a sea-change moment in baseball history, particularly in New York. According to one industry official, “several” prominent Yankees will be named by Mitchell in his 2 p.m. news conference in Manhattan. The official, who spoke to a third party who’d seen the final report, predicted, “It’s going to be a rough day in the Bronx” after the identities are made public.”

My money is on Jeter being named. I guess we’ll find out if his “intangibles” came in pill form. And for the record, as an Indians fan, I’ll be shocked if Travis Hafner ISN’T named.
