EVERYWHERE, USA – Favre fatigued. Greece looks to upset Team USA again. Rays are the walking wounded. Federer – Nadal collision course. Yanks tank. Phillies flounder. Mets are…well, the Mets and they pounded the Gnats last night like they should.
With apologies to The Police-
He was born
Born in the 60’s
Born, born in the 60’s
Born, born in the 60’s
This is what happens to a nearly 40 year old quarterback who wasn’t prepared mentally to retire. His body, however, was more than ready to hang up the cleats but like the Energizer Bunny, Brett Favre marches on. This will be a year of great interest in the Jets and they can only hope to reward their fans with wins rather than the sideshow that has occurred to date.
It was 2 years ago in the World Championships that Greece took down the mighty US basketball team, further embarrassing Uncle Sam who hadn’t yet recovered from the 2004 Athens Olympics blow suffered at the hands of the Argentine National Team in the semifinals. Team USA needed to beat Lithuania to capture the lowly bronze that year. Not to belittle the 3rd medal but for us to lose in basketball is unacceptable. Tonight we face Greece again but with a renewed vigor and under the no nonsense tutelage of Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski.
Carl Crawford has opted to go under the knife today to repair his right middle finger. When you are in the heat of a pennant race with the Red Sox and the Yankees, you seriously need that middle finger; we find it useful against the Phillies frequently. When the Rays say he’ll be back in 6-8 we scoff. If they make the post-season, he’ll be lucky to appear there. Honestly, we hope we’re wrong. Meanwhile, since France’s national basketball team did not qualify for the Olympics, Evan Longoria will be sitting poolside with Tony Parker on the Cote d’Azur for the next two weeks nursing a broken right wrist.
Rafael Nadal takes over the #1 ranking in the world next week from Roger Federer. Why hasn’t Nadal been ranked #1 since Wimbledon (does it really take that long to calculate?)? Be that as it may, everyone is looking forward to a Gold medal showdown between these two powerhouses.
The Yankees lost again to the Minnesota Twins, because they are very, very injured. So injured and beleaguered that Hank Steinbrenner has never seen a team so decimated. It is hard to see anything through a whiskey and cigarette haze.
It’s all about the Mets winning the NL East, that’s a no-brainer. So, ergo, we wish nothing but the worst on the Phillies. It’s a cold day in Randy Levine’s hot tub when we want the Dodgers to do well but LET’S GO DODGERS; sweep them tonight!

Can we please stop talking about Brett Favre?.. At least until the NFL Season starts.
As for my MASH unit Yankees... I think someone might have a contract out on Cano. He performed in truly Bad News Bears fashion last night.
Jeez... the Mutts record is only slightly better than the Yanks and people are all a flutter about winning the NL East. Just another testament to the lameness of that division. I guess in that circumstance, you gotta take what you can get... right?
If anyone can tell me why those Speedos don't come off when male divers take the plunge from 30+ feet up... please let me know. I think i watched it just to try and understand how that could not possibly happen. Eh.. physics has always escaped me anyway. |

| Matts, with all due respect, what is Coach K going to say to a player making 25 mil a year? He coaches college players, not these guys. If anything, they did a better job of picking the team than they did in the past few Olympics. |
