Observations

Before I post my observations from the past few days of sport, I want to welcome "Hall of Famer Joe Morgan" to blogdom. Check out Joe at Blogging Ain't Easy.

Now, the observations:

1. Well, Ben Rothleisberger's honeymoon is over kinda quick eh?

2. You know, I really hope the Colts go undefeated, so those idiots from the 72 Dolphins can find something productive to do with their lives, as opposed to being bitter old men who try to put the "whammy" on teams challenging their record.

3. Eli Manning cannot throw an out pattern for his life. I watched about 40 minutes of the Giant game yesterday, and he had 3 balls he threw to receivers on the sideline that were behind them by 5 yards.

4. Ted Nolan needs to put a tether on Rick DiPietro. The guy needs to stop trying to play the puck.

5. First "Torre to be Fired" now, "Glavine close to 2 year $25 million deal". Safe to say I am not counting on the Daily News for any scoops for quite a while.

6. The San Francisco Giants want better behavior out of Barry Bonds. They apparently want Barry to "share" with teammates a little more.

7. The Yankees picked up Gary Sheffield's option. This is the only "scoop" the News has had right in about 2 months.

8. Oh, like I'm supposed to be shocked that Pedro would retire if his arm does not respond to the surgery?

9. At least the Jets did not lose this weekend.

10. The Chiefs are 5-3. Herm Edwards has them the same place he usually had the Jets, barely breathing.

11. T.O. used the football as a pillow after scoring a 4 yd touchdown yesterday. This was followed by a nightmare later when he dropped a sure 72 yd TD pass. Apparently, he was asleep at the catch.

12. Wally Matthews says Omar should target Alfonso Soriano. Omar of course realizes that the best thing for him to do is the opposite of whatever Wally writes.

13. Sammy Sosa is looking to comeback this season. Omar - please make sure your caller ID is working so you can avoid his calls. Thanks.

14. David Wright has found his HR stroke, in Japan. Hopefully he can use some of his new contract money to pay the import tarriffs to bring it back home.

15. David also noted that he ordered in a pizza the other night. When asked why he had not tried sushi, David responded - "The only sushi place was a cab ride away from my hotel, and I'm not allowed to take cabs under my new contract."
