        <body>So if Pete pushes the first post back to lunchtime... does that mean we don't get 'laughs' today?

        <body>Kari, the Cubs are the lovable losers. If they won the Series they would lose their identity. It would be like when Screech decided to change his image of a nerd and beat up Horshak and make a porn video. He will never be remembered the same, and that is not always a good thing.

        <body>Lolly, there are only 37 games left. That dream is close to fruition.

        <body>Kari, I think we have an even more enjoyable game than &amp;quot;Annoying Songs&amp;quot;.  How about for this upcoming season, any reference to anything NFL has to include some reference to Favre?

An example:  Ben threw for 5 touchdowns and ran for another to beat Cleveland:  somewhat remanescent  of when Favre was able to bring the Packers back to defeat the Bears ....</body>

  <body>&lt;p&gt;I can barely wait for NBC&amp;#39;s primetime coverage of Americans crumbling all over the track from five&amp;nbsp;hours ago:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Gymnast &lt;strong&gt;Shawn Johnson&lt;/strong&gt; won her first gold medal of the Beijing Games after three silvers by edging fellow American &lt;strong&gt;Nastia Liukin&lt;/strong&gt; on the balance beam Tuesday, with the judges placing a Chinese gymnast third. In a possibly related story, the imposing Bird&amp;#39;s Nest next door might include a few more &amp;quot;twigs&amp;quot; tonight.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; &lt;strong&gt;Michael Phelps&lt;/strong&gt; has posed with all eight gold medals draped on his bare chest for the cover of &lt;a href=&quot;http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/multimedia/photo_gallery/0808/oly.michael.phelps.covers/content.1.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;this week&amp;#39;s SI&lt;/a&gt;, which hits newsstands tomorrow. The image echoes the famous shot of &lt;strong&gt;Mark Spitz&lt;/strong&gt; with his seven golds in 1972. The real question is whether in three decades, will everyone make fun of Phelps for his completely nude upper lip?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Red Sox pitcher &lt;strong&gt;Curt Schilling&lt;/strong&gt; said on his blog that he&amp;#39;s leaning &amp;quot;very heavily&amp;quot; toward retirement from baseball. I don&amp;#39;t blame him. Frankly, pitching in the majors can&amp;#39;t compare to the raw adrenaline rush of blogging. Never mind the chicks, obviously.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; The Bears have picked &lt;strong&gt;Kyle Orton&lt;/strong&gt; over &lt;strong&gt;Rex Grossman&lt;/strong&gt; as their starting QB. They&amp;#39;ll wait until later in the season&amp;nbsp;to pick their finishing QB.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; The Bengals have re-signed WR &lt;strong&gt;Chris Henry&lt;/strong&gt;, four months after cutting him following his fifth arrest in four years.&amp;nbsp;Well, that&amp;#39;s a shame.&amp;nbsp;You hate to see an ex-con fall right back with the same tough crowd.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; The &lt;em&gt;New York Post&lt;/em&gt; is reporting that &lt;strong&gt;A-Rod&lt;/strong&gt; was spotted with two different &amp;quot;cuties&amp;quot; last week, one in New York and a second in Miami. Well, they&amp;#39;ll be so happy to know he&amp;#39;ll get off work a few weeks earlier this year than usual.&lt;/p&gt;&amp;bull; 10 Spot Gathering reminder: We&amp;#39;re all set for Saturday, Sept. 13. That afternoon, the plan is to visit the Sports Museum of America in downtown Manhattan. That night, we&amp;#39;re already booked in the back room of Molly Pitcher&amp;#39;s on the Upper East Side. As we get closer to the date I will ask for a firmer sense of numbers, especially for the museum outing (since we&amp;nbsp;I will need to arrange&amp;nbsp;tickets at, hopefully, a group rate). But for now, just please keep the date circled in your calendar.</body>
