Not many stories that deserve a full post, so here is some more Gobbledy ####

1. I have all the respect in the world for Don Shula, but him talking about an asterisk to be hung on the Pats if they go 16-0, all I have to say is consider where he is coming from.  He is the coach of the only undefeated team in NFL history, so you think he wants to keep that record going.  Would he be saying this if the Pats didn't have an actual shot of going undefeated?
2. indianapolis and New England will meet in the AFC Championship game and the coutcome will be similar to sundays game.
3. Joe Torre will look awkward in Dodger blue.  He will struggle in LA because he is not the manager people think he is.  Anyone can win in New York with a $200 million payroll.
4. Baseball managers are paid significantly less than other coaches in pro sports simply because they don't do as much as other coaches.  Football coaches make 4-times as much as managers because they do 4-times the work.
5. With Curt Schilling resigned, the Red Sox are an instant playoff contender.
6. Andy Pettite is not evry smart for decling $16 million from the Yankees.  he won't get that kind of money anywhere else.
7. Dennis Dixon of the Oregon Ducks will win the Heisman trophy with Tim Tebow finishing second and Mike Hart third.
8. Darren McFadden is the best pro-prospect in upcoming draft.
9. Les Miles' thick-headed play calling will cost him a shot at the National Championship.
10. Notre Dame may have the best recruiting class on paper, but they will struggle over the next few years.
11. Chris Peterson of Boise State will be the next football coach at UCLA.
12. Jonathan Papelbon can not dance.
