For the Record...

* If Eli Manning leads the Giants to victory in Lambeau, in the kind of weather they're predicting, Peyton automatically becomes the soft one in the family.

* Have you ever actually seen someone thrown under a bus? In fact, has there ever been a recorded case in transportation history? Then where's this term come from? I don't understand how this particular phrase became sports speak for "pinning the blame on someone else." Why a bus? Why not a Mack truck, a Ford pick-up or the ass of Rosie O'Donnell?

* It sounds rather queer when a sportscaster like Sean Salisbury says, "I'm a Rich Rodriquez guy." You hear that kind of thing all the time.
"I'm a Parcells guy."
"I'm a Larry Brown guy."
You're a wienie, is what ya are.

* I hope Billy Volek has to save the day for the Chargers.

* I hope the Super Bowl goes into overtime.

* The Jeopardy online contestant test is next Tuesday, January 29. I'm spending already, anticipating my cash windfall.

* The country is not worse off because TV writers are out of work. Read a book, play Tetris, have sex: Use this down time to do something productive. Don't worry, TV writers will back soon enough, and the country can return to its passive consumption of regurgitated crap.

* Baby Boss is a great name for Hank Steinbrenner.

* Roger Clemens will not go gently into that good night.

* Andy Roddick is a dink. In fact, every A-Rod is a dink.

* Donald Fehr is an obstructionist. Take blood, store blood, get a reliable rest for HGH. Citing Lance Armstrong is fear-mongering. Besides, we all know that's how the French roll.

* Jim Rice got rooked.

* The Knicks could win 38 games in a row and I still wouldn't root for them.

* Goose Gossage is a megalomaniac. "I got out of situations that God couldn't?" Yeah OK, pal. Trim the 'stache already; the Village People are no longer cool.
