Pats deal a fourth-rounder for Randy Moss.
Quick reactions:
* How far this turd has tumbled.
* Thank God Merriwether now has someone to mentor him.
* Could it be that the Pats brass are taking their own press clippings too seriously? (”We fixed Corey Dillon, we can set Randy right.”)
* Great trade for the Pats — with no [...]

Wow, Brady Quinn in an Aaron Rodgers-like freefall!
(Does this mean that BC football is better than Notre Dame? Anyone have any thoughts?Just curious.)
Speaking of Aaron Rodgers, could it be that Quinn replaces him in Green Bay?
My guess: If St. Louis doesn’t take him with an eye towards replacing Bulger in 3-4 years and Jacksonville doesn’t [...]

End of an era?
The Joe Torre death-watch has officially begun.
Now I’m as disappointed as anyone about the Yankees’ pathetic start, but…
Is it Torre’s fault that Yankee starters have failed to make it through five innings in 11 of 21 starts?
Seriously:
- Andy Pettitte is no longer that good.
- Mike Mussina was never that good.
- Chien Min Wang (sp?) is [...]

Lions should become Calvinists
There are a couple of pieces of conventional wisdom floating around about tomorrow’s draft which do not follow, one from the other. To wit:
* Calvin Johnson is the best player in the draft. Great athlete and high character — got it.
* The Detroit Lions, at #2, can’t possibly pick him. The logic here is that [...]

I see a white sock and I want to paint it red
So, during the 5th inning of last-night’s Red Sox/Orioles game at Camden Yards, Baltimore broadcaster Gary Thorne (greatest hockey play by play guy out there, which is almost like being the greatest box lacrosse play by play guy these days) dropped this little “nugget” about the bloody sock of Schilling:
“The great story we were talking [...]

Joe Morgan’s psychic friends network
This gem is from today’s NY Daily News:
Before Sunday night’s game, according to Morgan, Ramirez told him - personally - that this was the night he would break out of his batting slump. Morgan said he did not report Ramirez’s bold prediction during his first plate appearance because he did not want to put “pressure” [...]

Is it time to start fireTimMcCarver.com?
Among his gems just within the first couple of innings was:
* the pronouncement that Red Sox fans had not seen the last of Japanese pitcher who had closed out Friday night’s game (which must be a relief to those fans who assumed that his performance would earn him his unconditional [...]

Is it just me or does this umpire have a, erm, questionable strike zone. (I ask with the evil Schilling on the mound.)

A-God
There was a time — not too long ago — when Alex Rodriguez walking to the plate with the Yankees down a run with two outs in the ninth inning brought a cold certainty: boos raining down as a popped-out ball settles into an infielder’s glove.
How times have changed.
Now the cold certainty is the pandemonium [...]
