- Eugene “Mercury” Morris went on ESPN yesterday to rap about how unstoppable he and his ‘72 Dolphins were. Yes, that’s right, I said “rap.” Just read what I wrote last night. That man has lost his mind.
- Andruw Jones didn’t get the long-term contract he’d hoped for, but instead settled for a shorter, 2 year, $36 million deal from the L.A. Dodgers who were in serious need of making some kind of splash in the offseason to more than just their roster.
- How much energy and emotion can a team muster after having gone through what the Redskins have? The league didn’t bump the game back and the Skins didn’t request a change of schedule, so the Bears are in town for a Thursday night match-up full of heavy hearts.
- Driving to drop off that good ol’ rent check yesterday, I caught Colin Cowherd half-assed backtrack for his wrong and disrespectful words about Sean Taylor’s murder. Steinberg breaks it down with quotes and all very well. It’s absurd how arrogant and one guy with a podium can be… and Cowherd continually keeps his reputation as “polarizing” by saying his wrong assumption of Taylor’s death is just like being wrong on his college pick ‘ems. Absolutely breathtaking.
- Heisman Final Four chosen: Florida’s Tim Tebow, Hawaii’s Colt Brennan, Arkansas’s Darren McFadden and Missouri’s Chase McDaniel. How can we convince the NCAA to turn this into some sort of skills playoff? Misguided argument, you say? Aim for the BCS instead? Done and done.

He’s a complete luncatic, but pretty decent TV. Find myself looking forward to what he does when they’re 15-0. Are they on his block? Will he have a tux on? His original interview on the golf course provided my favorite sound clip of the year. Shouldn’t be completely blown away that he’s a nut. Did serve 3.5 years for cocaine trafficing when he obviously has enough personality to take his football fame to future business successes.
Cowherd can go to hell. I feel bad for enjoying his show previously. Never heard his take on Taylor, and glad I didn’t. A lot of people made premature rationilizations concerning Taylor’s death, and I couldn’t help but make a few myself. But comparing your poor judgement in departmentalizing a young man’s death to a mistaken side of a point spread shows how truly out of touch with reality you are.

Correction, Morris was sentenced to 3.5 years. Supreme court released him after determining that he was not giving a fair trial.
