Josh Q. Public:  Knowing is not enough; we must apply.  Willing is not enough; we must do.  -Goethe

Public Knowledge:

1.  Look who's sexy again.  He didn't look so sexy to start.  Fumbled the first snap he had taken since Week 3 to start.  But when Rex Grossman found a streaking Bernard Berrian for a 59-yard touchdown play with 3 minutes, 11 seconds left in regulation, he was too sexy for his shirt.  Too sexy for his shirt.  So sexy it hurts.  And he's too sexy for Milan too sexy for Milan, New York and Japan.  But not for Chicago.  Don't look now but the Monsters of the Midway are now 4-5.  They probably won't catch the Pack in the division race, but they're only one game out of a playoff spot in the JV NFC.

2.  And then there was one.  On team to have still yet to win a game.  After about three quarters of, "freakin' awesome" football the Rams are off the snide.  Ramsacked.  Just when the Saints seemed to have gotten themselves together.  I don't think I'm slick nor do I play like I'm hard.  But I still drive the lane like I was King Bernard.  And I'm working on my game because life is taxing.  Got to get it together and see what's happening.  What's happening to these Saints?  Last year's feel good story doesn't feel so good anymore.  The Aints just put in one of the worst performances of their mystifying season.  The Aints just lost to the previously winless St. Louis Rams.  They Aints just ain't got it no more.

3.  Boston.  City of Champions.  Titletown.  The New England Revolution return to the MLS Cup.  The New England Revolution return to the MLS Cup in a rematch of last year's MLS Cup.  Meet the new boss.  Same as the old boss.  Sunday at RFK Stadium the Houston Dynamo try to defend the championship won last year against the Revolution.  Hey whatever happened to the Bekham cat?  You know.  The saviour of soccer. 

4.  Do you still believe it?  Do you still believe the Colts are the best team in football?  Do you still believe they can beat New England at New England in the playoffs?  If they get that far.  I don't.  Vinatieri, who'd won two Super Bowls for the Patriots with last-second field goals, pushed a 29-yard attempt wide right.  Norwide right.  It was all that Dan Marino's fault, everyone knows that.  If he had held the ball, laces out, like he was supposed to, Adam would never have missed that kick.  Dan Marino should die of gonorrhea and rot in hell. Would you like a cookie, son?  Loo-hoo-zuh-her!

5.  Chunichi Dragons outfielder Kosuke Fukudome declared for free agency Monday, opening the way for a possible move to the major leagues.  This guy became the youngest player to ever be chosen for an Olympic baseball team.  The 1996 Japanese Olympic team.  The Silver Medal 1996 Japanese Olympic team.  By 2002, Fukudome established himself as one of the best players in Japan.  Simply the best.  Better than all the rest.  By 2002, Fukudome had already won four Gold Gloves.  By 2002, he had already stopped Hideki Matsui's run for the Triple Crown by taking the batting title.  Last year, he batted .351.  Last year, he hit thirty-one bombs.  Last year he knocked in 104 RBIs.  Last year, he won the Central League MVP award.  So next year, he could become a New York Yankee.   To learn more what a Kosuke Fukudome is, you can find out here. 

6.  Colt Brennan meet Marcus Riley:

7.  Paul Stastny.  Who's your daddy?  Say uncle!  Stastny scored two goals in the second period last period.  Those two goals along with an assist, gave him 100 points in 99 career games.  He's just the sixth player in Colorado franchise history to reach 100 points in 100 or fewer contests.  Stastny's father, Peter, needed 73 games to reach 100 points. His uncles, Marian and Anton Stastny, took 82 and 95 games, respectively.  Paul just came off a streak where he was held goal-less for nine games.  This was big.  How big?  Just ask Barry Melrose Rocks.

8.  General managers decided Thursday that first and third-base coaches will wear some sort of head protection next season, a move that came four months after Mike Coolbaugh was struck in the neck by a line drive during a minor league game.

9.  Do the Celtics lose a game?  I honestly don't see how.

10.  Do the Spurs repeat?  I honestly don't see how not.

Peace out homies.  Six two and Even!
