Here are some morsels as you try to comprehend that the road to the World Series goes through Tampa Bay:

• The NFL has reportedly chastised Raiders owner Al Davis for falsely accusing the Patriots of tampering with WR Randy Moss. That’s some gall by Davis. In fact, Davis was caught explaining his evil plan to his GM on one of the Pats' secret viedotapes.

Business Week has named Tiger Woods the most influential person in sports, edging out NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Though the only real difference between the two is that Goodell plays more golf these days.

• Beach volleyball star Misty May-Treanor has been forced out of Dancing With The Stars after rupturing her Achilles during rehearsal. Apparently wearing all those clothes threw off her balance.

• A judge has moved Travis Henry’s cocaine-trafficking trial to Montana. In a related story, Montana’s population just doubled.

• Eagles RB Brian Westbrook reportedly broke two ribs on Sunday vs. the Redskins in his first game back after an ankle injury. Fortunately, Westbrook is a fast healer. He should be back on the field shortly so he can hurt something else.

• The state of Kentucky is targeting illegal betting. Or as it’s known in the rest of the country, “Wall Street.”

• Houston P Brandon Backe was arrested over the weekend after a brawl at a wedding reception. It seems the Astros are getting tired of hearing, “Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.”

A judge has moved Travis Henry???s cocaine-trafficking trial to Montana.

Its the only state where he hadn't fathered a child.

Okay, so who had ribs in the Brian Westbrook injury pool?

What kind of sauce?

Al Davise may not be a cheat, but he is arrogrant, egotistical, and one of the worst owners in the NFL taking a one proud franchise down the toilet bowl. Otherwise, Al is a truly great guy.

So Tiger is the one we should look to in trying to get NFL teams to lower their season ticket prices?

In related news, Lance Bass found a huge wooden horse and a card from Susan Lucci in his front yard.

Didn't anybody tell him that he's not supposed to go into the pool within an hour of eating?

Great. Now the Fed is getting into the commercial paper business. Once again, boldly running into a burning building as everyone else is fleeing. Cue up the standard argument - the government has to do this because...yada, yada, yada.
In a related story, congress has authorized an additional two billion dollars to bail out the resturants in and around Wall Street, noting that as the financial crisis progressed, more and more Masters of the Universe were either eating in their offices or at vending carts. This means that without immediate federal intervention, resturants facing decreasing revenue will start to lay off cooks, waiters, waitresses, busboys, etc. In turn, without their job they will not have a paycheck and cannot spend money to stimulate the economy, which will lead to a catastrophic economic downturn, and the circle will spiral out of control. The only answer, as it is so often these days, is immediate federal intervention...after all, the 700 billion bailout is working out so well...

Sorry, I put too much effort into this rant to just abandon it on the previous post.

TKO immediately launched an investigation, headed up by Billy, The Conspiracy Theorist, because everyone knows Galveston is gone. I know it's true, 'cause I saw it on TV.

Had ribs? I thought I was supposed to bring ribs to the pool party.

So somebody kicked Misty May-Treanor in the Achilles tendon?

October 7, 2008  02:41 PM ET

Travis Henry's trial was moved due to suspected trickeration by the offense. Errrrr...I mean prosecution.

But, on the bright side, I didn't mention China once!
