Random Thoughts on 7/28

Here are some random thoughts as I watch Roger Clemens pitch ...

- Lance Armstrong wins his sixth Tour de France.  He's an incredible athlete.  How horrible would it be if a bag of needles shows up with his name on them?

- Eddie George is the perfect fit for the Dallas Cowboys.  I've always loved the Cowboys and this might be their ticket to stay competitive with the Eagles.  No, he's not the back he was when the Titans were the Oilers, but he'll move the chains and that's what the Tuna loves.

- Jeff Bagwell just struck out with one out and two runners on base.  It's been the common theme for his season.  His shoulder is shot.  He throws like a girl.  It's time for Bagwell to think about a condo in Florida - retirement is coming.

- Ricky Williams is a whack.  He was weird when he was at the University of Texas and the voodoo got to him in New Orleans.  Now, he's lost his mind.  It's not the retirement.  He's got plenty of money.  It's the timing.  He let down a team.  He better check his prescription.  I think it's run out.

- College football and pro football are just around the corner.  I can't wait. 

Early predictions: NFC Playoffs: Philadelphia, Minnesota, Seattle, Atlanta, Dallas (wc), Tampa Bay (wc).  AFC Playoffs: New England, Baltimore, Indianapolis, Denver, KC (wc), Jacksonville (wc).  Super Bowl: New England v. Philadelphia.  Philadelphia wins.  NFL worries because the Jacksonville is the Super Bowl host and home field advantage in the Super Bowl wouldn't be kosher.

College Picks: Big Ten - Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ohio State, Penn State, Iowa, Purdue in bowls.  Watch for NU to pull a couple upsets.  Big 12 - Oklahoma beats Texas.  Big 12 Championship: Oklahoma beats Nebraska.  Kansas State is mediorce.  Upset of the year in the Big 12: Missouri over Texas at DKR Memorial Stadium; Oklahoma loses to Nebraska during the regular season; Texas A&M revenges last year's defeat against the Sooners.

- Is there any better rivalry in sports than Red Sox v. Yankees?

That's all for now.
