Quick Hitters

1) Manny says it wouldn't be the end of the world if the Red Sox lost. According to ESPN and CNNSI, we're supposed to be upset by this. Why? It isn't the end of the world if the Red Sox lose. Didn't they win by being loose, taking pre-game Jim Beam shots and just going out and having fun? It isn't like he said they were just happy to be there.

2) If you take fantasy football advice from Peter King, you probably take investment advice from MC Hammer and would let Dr. Z be your offensive coordinator.

3) There is no way in hell USC covers against ND this week. Not because ND is any good, not because their replacement QB sucks, and not because it's a rivalry game, but because they had such a harrowing airplane experience that starting players admitted to screaming like little bitches.

Let me say THANK GOD THE PLANE DIDN'T CRASH. I could never handle a month of USC tragedy coverage. These guys lay down with tens every night and get drafted too high by GMs who spend too much time on ESPN.com. Between Virginia Tech (how is football related to a psycho Korean kid again?) and a hypothetical USC plane crash, I would not be a pleasant person to be around.

4) Get ready for the NBA season with this Sam Cassell interview. Quite possibly the worst interview of all time.

The prospect of USC's version of "We Are Marshall" would induce the gag reflex immediately. I couldn't take 3 months of how great the Trojans were and all of ESPN on their knees...

Maybe Touchdown Jesus made a call to his good friend Thor.

Good mix of religions.

Can we add taking gambling advice from ECB to that list?

Good point. I cringed when I saw we actually get a decent number of hits on our ATS picks.

Disregard my advice to take Notre Dame and the points. If half of USC had been involved in an "Alive" situation, and Booty was eaten to preserve Pete Carroll, Notre Dame still would have lost by 20.
