Here are some morsels if you need a short break during your perusal of Peter King's MMQB:

Alex Rodriguez was reportedly spotted going into Madonna’s Central Park West highrise last week. Sounds plausible. We all know that A-Rod goes horizontal every October.

• The Colts scored 21 points in a span of just 2:10 in the fourth quarter to rally past the stunned Texans 31-27 yesterday. Or to put it another way, it took less time than five Peyton Manning commercials.

• The Lions were clobbered 34-7 by the Bears Sunday to fall to 0-4. Man, isn’t it time they finally fired that chump Matt Millen? Wait, what?

• White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen reportedly said, “Oh, f--- the Cubs” as he left the postgame interview last night. Big deal, frankly. These days, that would make Ozzie fit right in with Cubs fans.

• SI.com’s Jon Heyman is reporting that the Brewers might make a push to sign free agent pitcher CC Sabathia. Well, it’s the least they can do since that’s where his left arm’s going to be after Milwaukee pitched it into the ground.

O.J. Simpson was convicted of armed robbery and kidnapping last Friday in Las Vegas and faces at least 15 years in prison. Sounds like O.J.’s about to get enough “touches” to make T.O. jealous.

• Nebraska coach Bo Pelini says he’s going to investigate the charge by Missouri QB Chase Daniel that a Cornhusker spit on him before Mizzou’s 52-17 blowout victory in Lincoln. Hmmm, sounds more like the anonymous Husker was just spitting into the wind.

• The Tour de France’s new president says that Lance Armstrong “embarrassed” the race he has won a record seven times. Lance responded by saying he only deals with French presidents married to models.

Michael Phelps was formally welcomed home to Baltimore Saturday with a parade. The highlight came when Phelps swallowed the entire Inner Harbor as an afternoon snack.

Programming note: Caption This will be held on Tuesday and Thursday this week.

It would have been sooner but NBC was doing the coverage.

Alex Rodriguez was reportedly spotted going into Madonna???s Central Park West highrise last week.
==============
Madonna best not have very high expectations...we all know A-Rod's October performance issues

October 6, 2008  03:02 PM ET

Now you can see why I am running out of material. The sports headlines don't really change that much, and I've used nearly every conceivable punchline for T.O., Bonds, Clemens, Travis Henry, etc.
------------------
No problem. We can always go off-topic. It worked on the last post...

Pelini will give this player some props, as at least he put forth a some type of effort.

Kidnapping?

There were no children and no sleep involved.

The Tour de France???s new president says that Lance Armstrong ???embarrassed??? the race he has won a record seven times.

The president went on to say that the French can do very well at embarassing themselves, and frankly don't need Lance's help.

Wow, an A-Rod joke and no DJ to be found.

Also, I thought you didn't like to work blue?

Nebraska coach Bo Pelini says he's going to investigate the charge by Missouri QB Chase Daniel that a Cornhusker spit on him . . . .

Tom "Ozzy" Osborne had just bitten the head off a bat, and was spitting it out. Daniel got in the way. Case closed.

Today, at The 10 Spot, a rare and exclusive look inside the head of Kari -- DaPrez.

*whispering like the fool in the GEICO commercials* We go to the live feed inside of Kari's head, trying to come up with a pithy or witty comment to the afternoon post of The 10 Spot...

Hmmmm...
A) I could go down on the obvious entendre-route, something along the lines of 'Please' or 'There aren't any Sox that I would do with someone else's 10 foot pole'.

B) I could acknowledge that I did, in fact, utter those exact words Saturday evening.

C) I could go for a one-liner like 'Ozzie's just jealous'.

How to decide, how to decide...

the conviction comes 13 years to the day after his acquital on murder charges in the death of his ex wife and her friend.

And then he relieved himself on the six pillars in Columbia.

Cubs fans can take solace in the fact that they aren't rooting for the #1 team on THIS list...

Kari - go with the tried and true... "Well, so's your mother"

After the Civil War ended, Edmund McIlhenny, an ambitious and tenacious Louisiana businessman, found himself with few prospects. The South's economy in ruins and his millions of dollars in Confederacy currency worthless, he had no choice but to return with his wife, Mary, to her family home in Avery Island, a former sugar plantation destroyed by Union soldiers.

To McIlhenny's surprise, the hot peppers he had planted before being forced off the island had flourished. Desperate to start a new business, he chopped up the peppers, combined them with salt and vinegar, and produced the first batch of hot pepper sauce. Or so the story goes. He called the sauce Tabasco.

The Colts scored 21 points in a span of just 2:10 in the fourth quarter to rally past the stunned Texans 31-27 yesterday.

The Texans later complained that Manning kept yelling "Here comes Ike" every time the Colts broke the huddle . . .
