Rex Ryan Tells 'Cheeseheads' To Watch Their Backs
By Tony Mangia
The head coach of the New York Jets, Rex Ryan, had his stomach tied up last spring to limit his intake of food and lose weight. Too bad they didn't stitch his mouth shut so we wouldn't be prone to his press outtakes as well. The Meadowlands mouth may have only been joking yesterday when he warned the cheesehead fans of Green Bay about venturing into the New Meadowlands Stadium or cheering for their beloved Packers in New York bars, but knowing Jets fans, it could cause some trouble.
"I wouldn't want to wear Green Bay stuff coming to our stadium---no way," the human bobble head said when he was asked about the throngs of green and gold wearing fans who are known for taking over huge chunks of stadium seats--home or away.
"This is our fans...our team," the coach stressed. I don't know if a Packer fan would want to waste his time coming to this environment. But if they travel well, they travel well. We'll see. As long as they travel home mad and disappointed with the game, that's fine with me."
Ryan didn't stop there. He riled up Jets and Packer fans who might cross paths in their local sports bars. "I'm not saying go to your local establishment, but go to your local establishment. Hopefully they'll have the game on there (fans can) pound a couple of beers. I'm not responsible if they pound someone wearing a Green Bay Packer (jersey). I just want to make sure that's been documented."

Already A Disappointing Season
I'm more disappointed in the loss to New Jersey than I am to Oklahoma City. The Nets were bottom feeders last season and seem to be headed to the lottery this year. At least the Thunder was a playoff team last year and are considered a fast rising up and comer. I can take that loss a bit easier. In the New Jersey game they lost a late lead and didn't play their lottery pick, Greg Monroe. And why in the hell is Ben Gordon only getting five shots. FIVE! You paid this guy 11 mill or whatever you paid him to jack up five shots. He needs more looks. He doesn't need to be a gunner, but he needs more than five shots to be effective. That is what I'm most disappointed about. I know the team is trying to give fans some hope by winning games, but when you're rebuilding or whatever they want to call it down at the Palace, you also have to develop young players. Coach John Kuester said it was a bad matchup.Please. And Dwight Howard will be a better one. He was the number seven pick in the draft and you have to see what you have in the kid. If you don't develop him now, you know what happens. He finally shows flashes in the final year of his rookie contract and you hope to resign him, then he bolts town. Shades of Allan Houston. I know Piston fans remember that one real well. I'll give them credit against OKC. They did play hard, they looked for Gordon more, and they showed some urgency. But where was the defense on the final play when Jeff Green beat Jason Maxiell for an easy layup. It seemed there was no resistance.
It's gonna be a long winter in Detroit and there's no reason to make it an outright disaster. Play the youngster and tighten up the rotation. No disrespect to Maxiell, but he might not even play on some NBA rosters. If Ben Wallace and Greg Monroe were on a different team, Wallce would be Monroe's backup. Don't try to fool the fans into thinking there's a winning product on the floor. If everything breaks right and they keep their health they might be able to parlay it into an eighth seed. Of course I said the same thing last year and they had a robust 27 wins. Also, trade Prince and Hamilton, they don't need to be around for this and I fear if they are it could become an ugly situation. They deserve better than to be around for "rebuilding".

West, Wafer Throw Blows
Alex Kennedy at HoopsWorld:
During a three-on-three game with Avery Bradley(notes), Luke Harangody(notes), Semih Erden(notes) and assistant coach Tyronn Lue(notes), West began fouling [Von] Wafer each time the reserve guard touched the ball. West was increasingly physical to the point that Wafer exited to the locker room midway through the game. As he walked away, West barked obscenities and taunted Wafer.
After Wafer had showered and sat down at his locker, West approached from behind and threw a punch. Wafer didn't see the punch coming but quickly got off of the ground and connected on two punches of his own. He then wrestled West to the ground before being separated by the team's veterans.
Kennedy went on to say that Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce didn't find any pleasure in this situation and that Danny Ainge was considering waiving West.
West believes Wafer was behind this comment which led to the scrum.
Danny Ainge was not pleased with the story altogether. In the big scheme of things, they are bit players on the Celtics and they shouldn't let something like this potentially derail their season. From what the report says it seems like Wafer got the best of the exchange.
It Could Be A Big Offseason In Detroit
If the Detroit Tigers want to give their fans hope for next season they'll need to pony up some big dollars to bring the likes of Adam Dunn, Carl Crawford, or Victor Martinez to town. According to a report on ESPN.com that could be their line of thinking.
As far as we know, the Tigers were not one of the Michigan companies that received some form of government bailout. But at least one report says the Tigers may still have some money to spend.
Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe says the Tigers are very interested in free agents Victor Martinez and/or Carl Crawford, which could put them on a collision course with the Boston Red Sox.
Abraham says the Tigers have their eye on Martinez after light hitting Alex Avila did their catching last season. As for the outfield, the Tigers see a Crawford-Austin Jackson combination giving them premier defense.
Tigers owner Mike Ilitch is 81 years old and not short on cash, so there is no reason for Detroit fans not to think big.
If the Tigers fall short of their pursuit for V-Mart or Crawford, Tom Gage of the Detroit News says that free agent Jim Thome would be a solid fit.
Personally I would like to see them add a pitcher that can eat up some innings and win about 12-14 games.

Versus Cancelling Jenn Sterger's TV Show
By Tony Mangia
"REPORTER" GOES FROM SIDELINE TO UNEMPLOYMENT LINE
Versus Sports Network is cutting the cable on "The Daily Line" TV show, hosted by Jenn Sterger, for lousy ratings. Sterger is the woman in the middle of the ongoing NFL investigation of Minnesota Viking quarterback Brett Favre concerning amorous voice mails and lewd photos sent to her two years ago.
Meier Raivich, a spokesperson for Versus, confirmed the cancellation of the out-of-bounds interactive sports show due to lack of interest. In it's seven month run, "The Daily Line" was a ratings black hole averaging 53,000 viewers and a microscopic 0.06 rating. The last show will be on Thursday, Nov. 4.
Even with all the publicity surrounding the NFL's investigation of Favre, the four-night-a-week show couldn't achieve decent ratings. Sterger's manager said the canning was 'unfortunate' and "part of the business."
It remains to be seen if the perky host will discuss the Favre allegations on the show before it gets thrown off the air next week. Sterger has so far refused to speak with NFL investigators about the 2008 voice mails and texts while denying reports she is looking to get a monetary settlement with the shamed QB. Unemployment has always been a good incentive to change some one's mind about money.
While the former-Jets sideline "hostess" has gotten the boot and ponders her next career move, Favre is wearing one and wonders if his football legacy is over. On Sunday, Favre will limp into a game against the Patriots on a broken ankle and his consecutive game streak on the line.
Versus, the only channel where you can find hippo-hunting, will replace "The Daily Line" with a hockey show.

Mike Tyson To Join "The Hangover 2" Cast in Thailand
By Tony Mangia
IRON MIKE SAYS HE'S FINE WITH MEL GIBSON
Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson will fly to Thailand next month to film "The Hangover 2." The sequel to last year's monster hit comedy has been making headlines for recently firing Oscar-winning movie star Mel Gibson. Cast members of TH2 refused to work with the troubled Gibson because of his well-publicized drunken and bigoted outbursts and a custody and cash battle with ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva. Tyson, a convicted rapist and admitted wife-beater, did a deadpan portrayal of himself in the first movie and is being readily accepted by his cast mates.
Director Todd Phillips vowed to find a role for Tyson in the sequel. "He's (Tyson) been texting me," said Phillips in the past, "We're going to find something for him."
In deference to his cast mates, Tyson said he 'd "One hundred percent" work with Gibson. "I'm not ever in my life point my finger at anyone," Tyson said, "I don't live in a glass house. None of us do. I work with anybody, as long as they're respectful," the ear-biting ex-fighter added.
While Tyson passed the morals board at TH2, Gibson was released from his role as a tattoo artist. Gibson was locked into the role until stars Zack Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper and Justin Bartha complained about Gibson's past incidents and alleged assault and threats to his ex. Phillips finally relented and fired the "Lethal Weapon" franchise. Liam Neeson has reportedly replaced the ousted Gibson.
The Thailand backdrop with it's sex-slaves, AIDS epidemic and 12 year-old prostitutes should be a comedy goldmine for the remaining TH2 cast.
Tyson wants no part of the controversy. "We all have that guy--a Mel Gibson--in us," he explained, "We just don't want people exposed to it. Maybe he needs to get help. I am not against him, but I'm not for him."
After he finishes filming in Thailand, Tyson will head perform the duties as the Chinese "Boxing Ambassador to the World" in December. "I didn't even know what an ambassador was," confessed the Mao-tattooed Tyson, "When I think of ambassador, I think of living off the government and jet-setting with girlfriends." Sounds like a good premise for "The Hangover 3."

Knicks Declare Billboard War On Nets
By Tony Mangia
The New York Knicks have taken action against the New Jersey Nets by placing a billboard on a warehouse near the Brooklyn construction site of the Nets' new arena...two years before it's planned completion. The obscure Knicks billboard looks like retaliation for the giant poster promoting the Nets and it's new billionaire owner. That sign was hung with a pigeon's eye view of Madison Square Garden last July.
The Knicks billboard features new Knick star Amar'e Stoudemire glaring out from in front of the Manhattan Bridge with "Brooklyn Represent" written underneath and "YOU, US, WE, NOW" scrolled along the side with the team emblem. The Knick's newest acquisition and face of the team could be a dig at the Nets inability to land a big-name free-agent this off-season.
The Nets billboard, which hung from a Manhattan building on 33rd Street, was much larger and featured Nets owners Mikhail Prokhorov and Jay-Z staring directly down at the Garden. The Knicks owner, James Dolan, was so incensed by the huge sign, he filed a complaint with the NBA. He claimed it gave his Jersey competitors an upper hand in recruiting free-agent LeBron James last summer.
Dolan probably wishes he could have tacked Carmelo Anthony's face onto his new black and white promo. The Knicks haven't commented on why they put one up near the Nets future home, but did say they put similar ones up around the New York Area. They probably won't have to worry about putting any up near the Nets' current home, the Prudential Center, in Newark. Today, on opening day, some tickets on Stub Hub were going for .45 cents.
The Nets CEO Brett Yormark called the Knicks billboard a "defensive measure." "I'm glad to see they know where Brooklyn is," he said. "Clearly they know what's coming. It's fair play."
The "YOU, US, WE, NOW" slogan is a bit confusing. Maybe the Knicks should have slapped a head- shot of their Russian center, Timofey Mozgov, to lure some of his comrades from Brooklyn's Russian enclave in Brighton Beach. The big man has recently done a public relations tour there.
The Nets' new Russian owner isn't waiting until the new arena's ribbon-cutting to entice his Russian fanbase. Prokhorov is publishing a Russian-language magazine called "S.N.O.B." The magazine is geared to generating Net fans within the community. The name is an acronym for the Russian words, "Accomplished , Independent, Educated and Thriving." A Bloomberg report said the Nets owner--who is already well-known in Russian society--has already sunk $100 million into the project.

Taking Out The Guy In A Wheelchair
I can't believe I missed this one.
He could've at least helped the guy up.
He could've at least helped the guy up.
Check This Out
Washington Wizards' Kevin Seraphin missed a dunk during practice, but made up for it on the bounce.
What A Shot!
Michael Del Zotto, of the New York Rangers, shot a puck that ricocheted into the camera and destroyed the lens. You would think there would be more protection for the cameraman.
What I Saw In College Football
Cam Newton showed why he should be regarded as the Heisman front runner. He ran over LSU and the Tiger defense had a big assist in the win. Word of warning to Auburn. Don't get caught looking ahead to the season ending showdown with Alabama.
Oregon fast breaked their way to another win. A 60-13 beatdown over UCLA. Right now you can roll out the 1978 Steelers and it wouldn't matter. USC might give them a test since the game is in Los Angeles, but the way the Trojan defense has played this year I don't see it.
The Big East should give up their BCS berth. The best the league has to offer, West Virginia dropped a 19-14 decision to Syracuse. AT HOME. Do you really think anyone in this laughable conference deserves to go to a BCS game? Me neither. I know strange things have happened, but whoever comes out of here will be embarrased in their BCS game.
The Texas Longhorns should be ashamed of themselves. There's no way they should be losing games to Iowa State. That shouldn't happen in any year, anywhere. Not even on the playstation. The only time Iowa State should win this game is if Texas was hit with the death penalty. That further proves me right when I said they were frauds earlier this year.
Speaking of frauds, welcome to reality Oklahoma State. Nebraska hung 51 on them and showed that the Cowboys cannot play defense. However the offense can score with anyone. Sounds a lot like Michigan.
Pardon the language here, but Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio has some big ass nuts. First the fake field goal against Notre Dame in overtime. Then he pulls a a fake punt to spark a comeback win over Northwestern. Should they win this week's game against Iowa,they have a an outside shot at the national title game and a clear path to the Rose Bowl. SPARTY ON!
Congratulations to Baylor for being bowl eligible an dentering the rankings for the first time since 1993, which is an eternity in college football. They have an exciting quarterback in Robert Griffin III and a rising coach in Art Briles. The game against Texas will be one to keep an eye on.
Props to my alma mater Navy for running through, over, and around Notre Dame. I can't stand the Fighting Irish which made it even sweeter to see the Middies rolling through them. Eventually Brian Kelly will get things right in South Bend and they'll run up another long winning streak over my beloved Midshipmen.
leopard moth pictures and information
The Giant Leopard Moth or Eyed Tiger Moth (Hypercompe scribonia) is a moth of the family Arctiidae. It is distributed throughout the Southern and Eastern United States from New England to Mexico. The obsolete name Ecpantheria scribonia is still occasionally encountered.
This species has a wingspan of 3 inches (nearly 8 cm). The wings of this moth are bright white with a pattern of neat black blotches, some solid and some hollow. The abdomen is dark blue with orange markings, the male has a narrow yellow line on the sides. Its legs have black and white bands. Adult moths are strictly nocturnal and do not generally fly before nightfall (Fullard & Napoleone 2001).
The caterpillar is of the "Woolly Bear" kind, with a thick coat of black bristles (

Coughlin Rises From Dead...Again
By Tony Mangia
LOOKS LIKE COWHER CAN WAIT
Maybe the New York Giants are just getting into the Halloween spirit. There seem to be so many frightful cliches to describe their play after they turned the Dallas Cowboys into a thing that goes bump on Monday night, 41-35. They put the final nail in the Cowboy's playoff dreams coffin. The ghoulish Giants front four buried Tony Romo on the five-yard line, then planted a tombstone inscribed with "R.I.P. Super Bowl Dreams".
The whole Giants team turned the Cowboys into zombies for most of the game. Tom Coughlin has become Count Dracula and risen from the dead...once again.
The whole team basically toilet-papered and soaped up Jerry Jones $1.2 billion Cowboys Stadium last night, but is Coughlin really becoming the undead?
One month ago angry throngs of Giants fans armed with pitchforks, torches and PSL's took to the swamps of the Meadowlands bent on ridding the team of the mad head coach. He is too strict and the game has passed him by they cried. It has become a a fall ritual in New York since 2004. Every year the same frightful screams for the coach's head and new blood.
This year's Van Helsing was going to be Bill Cowher--the former Steelers head coach. Rumors swirled that the "retired" TV analyst who has ties to the Mara family and would be interested in the Giants position, if it opened. The Giants were 1-2 and the locker room had players tossing garlic and holy water onto the oft-criticized Coughlin. The team been mauled by the Tennessee Titans and looked like a ghost of the team that won the Super Bowl just a few years earlier. The team looked like a group of lost boys and tempers were flaring.
Coughlin, as he has always done in the past, never backed down. The G-men finally rose up and played disciplined football--Coughlin-style football-- and punished the Chicago Bears (Midway Monsters? More like Monsters Inc.) while knocking out two Bears QBs in the process. They chainsawed the Texans in Houston, Freddy Krugered the Lions at home and last night sent a message to the NFL that the Giants team is alive!
Big Blue fans might recall that the Giants started 2007 at 0-2 and ended up winning a Super Bowl. This team has a similar feel. Coughlin took control then and is at it again.
Over the years, Coughlin has been called out by many players beginning with Jeremy "Cujo" Shockey and Tiki "Carrie" Barber to this year's town crier, Antrelle Rolle. Since becoming Giants head coach, Coughlin has had only one losing season--his first--and a Super Bowl victory. Barber retired and had to watch that upset victory from his prom seat on the Today Show, while newcomer Rolle has settled into the Coughlin system and they are winning.
The rosy-cheeked coach is an instructor and disciplinarian. He has a good track record of sending many of his assistants on to bigger assignments and he molded Eli Manning into one of the NFL's most efficient quarterbacks. He even taught Barber how not to fumble.
Everything is clicking for the Giants. Brandon Jacobs looks like Frankenstein instead of Frankenberry and Manning has reverted into Dr. Jekyll and not Mr. Hyde. Even punter Matt Dodge doesn't look like Igor kicking some corpse's brain on fourth down. Hell, the mad scientist Coughlin was correct on four replay challenges against the Cowboys last night!
Everyone in Jersey knows about the bodies buried all around the Meadowlands. Every year disgruntled Giants fans look for another body to add to the graveyard after the first losing streak. Tom Coughlin is always the first one they seek and every season he rises up. I can't imagine next year the townspeople won't be marching through the streets in their Giants blue looking for Coughlin's body parts again.
The head coach's contract is through 2011. He is getting up in age. His rules are outdated. The game is passing him by. Tom Coughlin's annual resurrection with the Giants could be a Stephen King novel. Let's call it The Blue Man in the Swamp.

More like Monsters Inc.) while knocking out two Bears QBs in the process. They chainsawed the Texans in Houston, Freddy Krugered the Lions at home and last night sent a message to the NFL that the Giants team is alive!
Big Blue fans might recall that the Giants started 2007 at 0-2 and ended up winning a Super Bowl. This team has a similar feel. Coughlin took control then and is at it again.
Over the years, Coughlin has been called out by many players beginning with Jeremy "Cujo" Shockey and Tiki "Carrie" Barber to this year's town crier, Antrelle Rolle. Since becoming Giants head coach, Coughlin has had only one losing season--his first--and a Super Bowl victory. Barber retired and had to watch that upset victory from his prom seat on the Today Show, while newcomer Rolle has settled into the Coughlin system and they are winning.
The rosy-cheeked coach is an instructor and disciplinarian. He has a good track record of sending many of his assistants on to bigger assignments and he molded Eli Manning into one of the NFL's most efficient quarterbacks. He even taught Barber how not to fumble.
Everything is clicking for the Giants. Brandon Jacobs looks like Frankenstein instead of Frankenberry and Manning has reverted into Dr. Jekyll and not Mr. Hyde. Even punter Matt Dodge doesn't look like Igor kicking some corpse's brain on fourth down. Hell, the mad scientist Coughlin was correct on four replay challenges against the Cowboys last night!
Everyone in Jersey knows about the bodies buried all around the Meadowlands. Every year disgruntled Giants fans look for another body to add to the graveyard after the first losing streak. Tom Coughlin is always the first one they seek and every season he rises up. I can't imagine next year the townspeople won't be marching through the streets in their Giants blue looking for Coughlin's body parts again.
The head coach's contract is through 2011. He is getting up in age. His rules are outdated. The game is passing him by. Tom Coughlin's annual resurrection with the Giants could be a Stephen King novel. Let's call it The Blue Man in the Swamp.

The Blame Game
New York Yankees pitching coach,well former pitching coach Dave Eiland was given the ax. General manager Brian Cashman didn't give any reason except that it was private. What,did Eiland screw his wife or something? He insists that it had nothing to do with the performance in the ALCS against the Texas Rangers. Sure B, and an alcoholic doesn't go to the store for liquor. Any pitcher they trotted out was bombed and if it weren't for some moments of ineptitude they would've had an embarassing sweep on their hands. Cashman was the one who signed A.J. Burnett or Javier Vasquez, but someone has to take the blame right?
Steve Nash Throws Up The White Flag
Phoenix Suns point man Steve Nash seems to be setting up his fans for a letdown this year. Before the season even begins he's picking the Suns not to make the playoffs. Come on Steve, your supposed to be optimistic. Even Rodney Stuckey and Michael Beasley say things like "on paper we're the best". And you come out with this statement: "To be honest, if I was outside this picture and a betting man, I would probably pick us to be outside of the playoffs considering all the changes and the new guys." "Maybe we need to take a step back, regroup, be a little bit more patient, build a really good team and see how good we can be later in the year instead of jumping out of the gate and be like, 'Oh, we've got to finish top two or three in the West and give ourselves a chance to win the West and go to the Finals.' That stuff can come if we really improve, but we can't put that type of pressure on ourselves right away because we are a new team."
He's basically telling the fans, even though we made the Western Conference finals last year, we lost one key guy (Amare Stoudemire), we have some new guys and some young ones. We might not be that good, so please support us. It could be a cry for help or a backhanded way to force a trade. Nash isn't getting any younger and I suppose he would like to compete for a title. But don't sell your team short before the season begins.
FAVRE ADMITS TEXTS BUT DENIES LEWD PHOTOS ARE HIS
By Tony Mangia
VIKING QB COULD FACE SUSPENSION
Brett Favre, the married quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings, has admitted to sending inappropriate text messages to former-Jets sideline reporter, Jennifer Sterger in a twisted bid to rendezvous with the sexy TV personality. According to Fox's Jay Glazer yesterday, Favre confessed to the voicemails but claimed he never texted pictures of his penis to her. The NFL has not commented on the situation but if Favre is guilty of violating the league's player-conduct policies, he could be suspended and fined.
Last week, Sterger retained a lawyer, former federal prosecutor Joseph Conway last and, although she has not commented publicly, there is evidence she is "strongly considering" speaking with the NFL about the sleazy 2008 voicemails and texts. There have been indications she could meet with league officials as early as this week.
Favre denies sending the photos of his privates but a website, Deadspin.com, claims that both the text messages and images originated from the same phone number.
Sterger worked for the Jets and it was in training camp two years ago where the ex-Jets QB became interested the the attractive sideline reporter.
If Favre is found guilty after the NFL's investigation, look for Commissioner Roger Goodell's punitive decisions to be swift but difficult. Questions Goodell will have to consider. Did Favre violate the personal conduct-policy? Should he be suspended? For how long? If Goodell suspends Favre, it would put an end to the player's NFL record for consecutive starts.
In one voicemail, he suggests Sterger meet him at his hotel room. "Just got done with practice, got meetings here for a couple of more hours..." the grandfather allegedly said, "Send me a text, I'd love top see you tonight." Not exactly XXX, but that's Goodell's call.
Sterger's manager, Phil Reese said that FBI agents are working to find out who gave her phone number to Favre. "There is a person of interest... and he is very aware that we know who he is," claims Reese.
"Unfortunately, the person in the picture didn't also hold up their driver's license," said Reese, "So I'm not going to speculate on an identity. But I'm working with people to diligently get all the facts."
Sterger is very much a person of interest for league officials. She is not obligated to cooperate with the NFL. League spokesperson, Greg Aiello, stressed, " We will continue to pursue opportunities to speak with individuals that potentially have information."
While Sterger has been clamming up--at least for moment--the New York Jets have been cooperating with the NFL in it's investigation. The Jets want to distance themselves as far away from controversy and Favre as soon as possible. They've had one-too-many sexy reporter incidents after last summer's locker room scandal with Mexican "journalist" Ines Sainz already on their player-conduct rap sheet.
Sterger's lawyers have denied there have been any discussions with Favre about a financial settlement. She now works as a television host for Versus network.
It's been a rough week for the 41 year old quarterback. On Tuesday, Favre was grilled by NFL Vice-president of Security, Milt Ahlerich, then yesterday threw three second-half interceptions in a national TV loss to his former-team and division rivals, the Green Bay Packers, and finally gets thrown under the bus by his head coach on Sunday night.
Vikings head coach, Brad Childress, ripped into his QB for throwing a foolish interception and wiping out any chance of a comeback against the Packers in a game that could be the final blow in a disappointing season. "You can't throw it to them," the coach said,"You've got to play within the confines of our system."
Favre's pathetic attempt to woo Sterger proves the old gunslinger plays "outside the system" off the playing field as well.

For Rondo It's About Dollars And Sense
Then there won't be anymore comments like this.
It's The Giants vs.Rangers. But Will Anyone Watch?
Baseball purists and the casual fan probably won't like this matchup. You know what they'll say. No name recognition, they don't know much about the teams, they play outside the glamour markets (Boston, Philadelphia, New York, Los Angeles) so they don't really care. That's what happens when you shove Red Sox vs. Yankees down our throat every year.
That's why the NFL has better viewership. You know you'll have your perennial contenders, but some team will rise up to surprise from year to year. I don't mind parity in sports. I think it makes it better, it keeps the product as a whole from getting stale. I don't like seeing the same teams year after year, even though the networks (ESPN, Fox,etc.) would love to have the same teams every year to improve their ratings. I'm all form just watching a good ballgame. That's how I came up and that's how I like it. I hate seeing teams like the Kansas City Royals and Pittsburgh Pirates on hard times. They were actually good when I was growing up, even though it's hard to believe now.
I"m glad it's the Giants vs. Rangers. It's refreshing to see two teams that are normally second or even not thought of this time of year. Hopefully baseball can get a clue and do something about the large disparity about some of the teams that just flat out suck right now and the one's that continue to stay on top. I don't think it's about what market you play in. If you find committed ownership and the right scouts and management it can be done. I never considered Boston a big market. San Diego has a larger population but is considered small market. I never got that and probably never will.
Hopefully this will be an entertaining World Series. It probably won't work for the casual fan. They will turn their attention to the NBA season.
Suspension Until Further Notice

That Answers My Question About His Whereabouts
 |
| Carter in his glory days |
Well, the questions about his whereabouts have been answered. He has been arrested on a battery charge recently. Gwinnett County Police say a woman who identified herself as Carter's girlfriend told officers Oct. 6 that the 33-year-old Decatur native was drunk when he choked and hit her because she wanted to end their relationship. Officers said 35-year-old Egan Jacobs had bumps and bruises. Carter was stopped nine days later for driving with an expired tag and a suspended license. He was arrested on the outstanding warrant for battery. Police said he was freed from jail the same day.
Not what anyone had in mind when he was dumped by Dallas. He wasn't the second coming of Dan Fouts. Hell, he wasn't Vince Evans. But you would think he had some more NFL years in him, even though he had one drug suspension under his belt. He was cut by the Abilene Ruff Riders of the Indoor Football League in 2009 after being charged with drunken driving. He obviously has problems that need to be worked out.

crane fly poisonous
information
Crane flies are insects in the family Tipulidae. Adults are very slender, long-legged flies that may vary in length from 2–60 millimetres (0.079–2.4 in) (tropical species may exceed 100 millimetres or 3.9 in).
In the United Kingdom, South Africa, Ireland and Newfoundland they are commonly referred to as daddy long-legs, but this name can also refer to two unrelated arthropods: members of the arachnid order Opiliones (especially in the United States and Canada) and the cellar spider Pholcidae (especially in Australia). The larvae of the European Crane Fly are commonly known as Leatherjackets. These larvae can cause damage to lawns by feeding on the roots of grass plants.
Numerous other common names have been applied to the crane fly, many of them more or less regional, including mosquito hawk, mosquito eater (or skeeter eater), gallinipper,[1] and gollywhopper.[1]
At least 4256 species of crane flies have been described, most of them (75%) by the specialist Charles Paul Alexander. This makes the Tipulidae the largest family of Diptera.
