Football

Well, it’s final, the Raiders have officially fired their coach, Lane Kiffin.  Lane was on the hot seat since Game 1, and there was a delay in his termination.  Many thought it all came down to the Raiders/Chargers game on Sunday.  Oakland got out to a 15-0 lead before blowing the game in the 2nd half, and falling 28-18.  And that pretty much did it for Kiffin, who was sent sailing by Raiders owner Al Davis.   Davis, notorious for being harsh, said, “I picked the wrong guy”.

And there’s more news about Dolphins Running Back, Ricky Williams. A few years ago, Ricky Williams literally ‘took the season off’ to relax, tour the country with Lenny Kravitz, and yep, smoke pot.  Hey, he said this.  Obviously strange behavior for the once Heisman Trophy Winner and premiere RB in the NFL, but… he did what he did, and supposedly he’s addicted to the drug.  Now, Ricky is back in the NFL, and is actively splitting carries with Ronnie Brown.  But the Dolphins had their bye week last weekend, and Ricky said it was “tough” for him to resist smoking pot.  It’s simply amusing that a statement like this can birth headlines across every major newspaper.

Baseball

And finally, baseball playoffs start today.  In the National League, it’s the rejuvenated Milwaukee Brewers taking on the Philadelphia Phillies, and then the Los Angeles Dodgers take on the ‘can-they-do-it’ Cubs.  But, the day kicks off with the defending World Champion, Boston Red Sox, taking on the Los Angeles Angels.  That’s a lot of baseball action for ya, and it’s gonna be absolutely terrific!
