What did it take to knock Brett FarveFavre off the sports page!

It took all the media pundits in love with Vick's balling skills, that's what.

Far more of us want Vick out of the league in 2009.

There's nothing in the Bill of Rights that guarantees a roster spot in the NFL.   I'm right because I checked the copy on my bicep.

The whiny kiddies scream for Vick's reinstatement just don't get it.  Try curling up next to a dog or cat for a few hours.   If you don't have one as a roommate, borrow one.  The honest and sincere hugs a human receives from the four-legged crowd can't be faked.

Why does 'doing your time' automatically qualify you for NFL sainthood?  Being involved in organized, interstate crime should be a lifetime suspension.  Shoeless Joe Jackson was never proven to

Ok, why do so many people hate on Tony Romo?

Could it be jealousy?  Ok, I live in north Texas and have watched this cool cat for a few years.  No, I'm a Vikes fan and C'boys tolerator.   Romo has a future in the NFL booth.  He's calm, collected and can form a complete sentence, unlike far too many in the league. (It would be nice to win a playoff game...hint, hint.) Is Romo out committing crimes, getting numerous skanks pregnant, tattooing his face, twising the heads off kittens? No, No, No and NO!

So Romo dated a ditzy blonde!  The only problem with that is the number of dudes that are jealous.  Still we wonder how far he did get and if the boat Simpson gave Tony is really worth squat.  It may be pawned soon.

Romo was recently badmouthed by an ESPN paid fool.  Why?  Tony

 With coolness channeled from a Scottish Highlander and a Paris cat burglar, Tom Watson stalked the course, gaining fans each day.  Who wouldn't cheer for their grandfather?  Everyone but Stewart Cink and family, that's who.

Tom Watson shocked everyone, especially the Tiger-centric media, by generating a playoff at the British Open. 

For this grand weekend, Watson grabbed the attention and adoration of the gallery, television fans and amazed media.  "What will we do now that you-know-who missed the cut!" screamed the media and front runner golf fans. 

At 59, Watson truly shocked the world, a phrase greatly overused, yet finally appropriate, without winning, but by surviving to the playoff.

Yes, Watson would have been a wonderfully 'experienced' champion.   The overuse of "geezer"

Ok, it's been a week of stupid.

There are so many items.

Josh Howard was elected to the All Star Game and he's been out for over a month.  Wait, I thought only Yankees and Sawks players got that automatic election.

Then Tiger Woods, ultimate media darling, recieved the ultimate reach-around from the 4-letter network...Tom Watson, who cares,doesn't get shown on tv cuz he's 59. Let's show every Woods shot into the bunker!  WTF!  We fans do care!  Show us the leaders, dammit.

Lance Armstrong had a flat tire and it wasn't a beer!  That ain't news!

My PC was infected and I was out of action for six days.  That's news, unless my name is Obama and I can't chuck a baseball over the plate!  ****!  Let's have another election now.

For the ump-teenth year,

Things that make me go BLECH!

Today, the Tribune Company, agreed to sell the Chicago Cubs, Wrigley Field and a chunk of the regional cable franchise to...we have no idea! (Pending MLB's rubber stamp)

Last year, a white knight showed up, offering buckets of money and a bright future for the Cubs. His name was Mark Cuban, who we know as the vocal owner of the Dallas Mavericks. Cuban's mantra is: "What can I do to help the team win?" Way to go Tribune Company.

You've guaranteed the fans a mediocre future, since you sold to a money dude, not a sports fan interested in WINNING. Bring the goat onto the field now and excercise the Ghost-Of-Bartman.

***a day later:

The Cubs are being purchased by a new money family.  The Ricketts Family Trust will own the Cub(bies!).  Multiple news sources
