I don't have time this week to do a recap of last weekend and it is almost the next weekend anyway, so I'll just toss a few things out there:
1. Are people fired up about the baseball playoffs? Are there any compelling stories? Howard with the Phils I guess, maybe. I don't know. Maybe I'm just still bitter about the Giants, but I can't get into it.
2. Speaking of the Giants, why is no one talking about the fact that in September, with his knee finally recovered, Barry is hitting balls out like he was when he was allegedly juicing. Doesn't that cast even more doubt on the whether we should care if these guys are roiding? I'm not saying it doesn't matter at all, but maybe the reasons it matters have nothing at all to do with stats or performance...at least with Bonds.
3. More great NFL matchups this weekend. I'm really looking forward to Chicago and Seattle on Sunday night. Can the Seahawks win with Hasslebeck throwing 45 times? I think we might find out.
4. My fantasy season and the Niners season depends on Gore's injury not being serious. Let's hope the pain is just the reminder he needs to stop coughing up the ball.
5. Speaking of fantasy, I went 1-1 last week thanks to Michael freakin Jenkins. That Atlanta passing game is dreadful. With NO going up early, i thought Jenkins could have a big night as the only WR target in the passing game. Wrong. Vick can't hit an open guy, no Atlanta WR could get open and even when they did and Vick hit them, they dropped the pass. ugly showing. I hope to never have to play Jenkins again. So I'm 5-1 and have a rematch against my arch-rival and co-commish this coming week. He's got better matchups, but if Gore plays, who knows?
6. Still speaking of fantasy, fantasy basketball will be here soon. Can you feel the excitement? So, feel free to chime in on my dilemna. I have to keep two of the following: Shawn Marion, Elton Brand, Chris Paul. Who should I keep in a league that doesn't factor in FG% or turnovers?
7. If you like sports movies, you might check out my movie review of Invincible over on my entertainment blog at www.stumptownmovies.blogspot.com.
That's all for now.

Someone should ask Hasselbeck if he enjoyed staring at the grass all night.
