LOOK OUT FOR OUR NEW MULTIMEDIA WEB SITE! IN THE MEANTIME, ENJOY OUR WATERCOOLER CHATS: Angels, Romo’s Chin, NBA Rookies

Baseball

The Los Angeles Angels clinched their fourth AL West title in 5 years.  They are now the only team in Major League Baseball to earn a playoff spot.  The baseball post-season is wide-open however, and the big question remains:  How far will this pesky Tampa Bay Devil Rays team go?

Football

It appears that Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo is downplaying the chin injury he suffered in Sunday’s game against Cleveland.  The QB needed 13 stitches, but he’s not letting the media make a big deal of this.  Nope.  Instead, he has focused all attention on Monday night’s already anticipated match-up against the soaring Philadelphia Eagles.  Both these teams looked flawless in Week 1, and it’ll be interesting to see who is (first) front runner in the NFC East.  Then again, lets not forget about the defending Super Bowl Champs (NY Giants).   Their respective showdowns against Dallas and Philly are coming soon.  Additionally, on Good Morning America, Jessica Simpson fully endorsed her beau Tony Romo in front of a huge crowd.  She said, “We’re gonna kick your butt, Philly.  Go Dallas!”  You gotta ask… why doesn’t Donovan McNabb’s wife do this?

Hurricane Ike is invading Texas, driving people out of the state, and causing the postponement of tons of football games.  Both High School and College.  Never a good thing for a state that eats, drinks, and sleeps football.

Basketball

In some interesting news, former Kansas Jayhawk basketball stars Darrell Armstrong and Mario Chalmers (and coveted prizes in this year’s NBA Draft), were caught with marijuana and girls in their hotel room two weeks ago. This all happened at the NBA’s rookie symposium, where, ironically, rookies are supposed to learn how to conduct themselves off the court.  The league decided not to suspend them, but rather fine them each $20K.  Plus… they have to repeat the rookie symposium next year.  What if it happens again?  How many years would they have to do this thing over?
