It's time for some clumsy observations of the rich, famous, and athletic.
When the New York Yankees journeyed back to the Bronx to salvage game three of the ALCS Sunday, one would have thought that the infamous team was escaping all bugs. It turns out; they'll never escape the biggest pest of all. George Steinbrenner threatened the job security of manager Joe Torre, who's only won about 4 World Series titles. But hey, it worked.
USC's debacle of a defeat Saturday makes me want to urge our own Dennis Erickson to publicly berate Pete Carroll. If it worked for Stanford's Jim Harbaugh, it can work for us. After all, ASU must beat an actual team before it's over to maintain its spot in the silliest of national sports rankings. But is USC that team anymore?
Adding insult to injury, the Arizona Cardinals quarterback was replaced in Sunday's game by a player wearing a white glove. That same player was also seen sticking his hands between the legs of a bigger man, thousands of fans said. "Thriller" anyone?
Former Olympic extraordinaire Marion Jones will reportedly yield the five gold medals she won in 2000 at the Sydney games after admitting to steroid use. Great, now we just need to return about a kagillion baseballs, all featuring the signature of MLB Commissioner Bud Selig.
