Here's hoping you haven't been camping out in Brooklyn waiting for the Nets to arrive:

• The upstart Rays have pushed the Red Sox to the brink by winning 13-4 last night to take a commanding 3-1 lead in the ALCS. In desperation, Boston has launched attack ads linking Tampa to a former associate, the Devil.

• Rays fever is riding so high that the team will remove the tarp that has covered the highest upper-deck seats at Tropicana Field all season. Is that really wise? Given how many Tampa Bay residents take blood thinners, how are they ever going to stop the nosebleeds?

• The NFL has suspended Cowboys DB Pacman Jones for at least four games after a brief scuffle with his own bodyguard. And there may be more bad news on the way -- we hear Pacman raised his voice at his personal chef after some allegedly underwhelming paella. That’s gotta be worth two games right there.

• The Cowboys also traded three draft picks, including a first-rounder, to the Lions for tempestuous but talented WR Roy Williams. Williams is expected to join T.O. as another threat to undermine the franchise.

• Jets QB Brett Favre reportedly called injured Cowboys QB Tony Romo to offer advice and encouragement. Apparently Favre's advice was “Don’t be a nancyboy” and the encouragement was “I wouldn’t miss a start if my pinkie was gnawed off by a wildebeest.”

• Formula One’s governing body has proposed radical cost-cutting measures given the global economic woes. Some advocate reductions of 50 percent or more. For starters, the circuit will henceforth be known as Formula .409.

Madonna has announced she's divorcing husband Guy Ritchie. That’s some strange timing. She couldn’t wait until the last game of the World Series?

However, passing is still disallowed.

Formula .409.... LOL!

Rays fever? Wasn't that what killed crocodile hunter Steve Irwin?

Yeah, but how races below .500 is that?

Jets QB Brett Favre reportedly called injured Cowboys QB Tony Romo to offer advice and encouragement. Apparently Favre's advice was ???Don???t be a nancyboy??? and the encouragement was ???I wouldn???t miss a start if my pinkie was gnawed off by a wildebeest.???

He then shouted "get off my lawn" and asked if Tony thought Brad Johnson would still be available for Tuesday Night pinochle

At least she will be in the playing field during the World Series. More than we can say for April-September-Rod.

Ergh! How MANY races.....

In desperation, Boston has launched attack ads linking Tampa to a former associate, the Devil.

Movie executives are already in negotiations with the franchise for a new film tentatively named "Damn Yankees 2008".

---------------------
Of course, that's how Tony Romo interpreted the call, since Favre retired and unretired several times during the call.

Are you saying he was just a summer romance?

Matt Millen recommends that the Cowboys also sign Charles Rogers

QUOTE(#139):Originally posted 02:20 PM ET 10.15 by Tko27 That is the problem with whiteout and the computer. It only erases things I type underheath it. Then I scroll up and it erases something else. Then I pick the monitor up, facing downward and shake it vigourously. That usually erases everything.

You're thinking of an Etch a Sketch.

No, seriously. Pick up your monitor and try that. It erases everything.

unlike other things, A-Rod is not noticible in the cooler weather of the fall...

Not sure how her May-December romance with A-Rod will work out since A-Rod can't perform past September.

My guess is there will be a lot of awkward swinging and missing by A-Rod.

Another tip for clearing unwanted things from your monitor is to drop it down a flight of stairs.

Pete - Great work.

I was wondering, would you mind if I used "tempestuous but talented" on my resume? You never know when you need to update a resume and I think that would definitely be an icebreaker in an interview.

Favre and Romo also talked about wearing ugly throwback uniforms on occasion.
