News/Views

NEWS: Michael Vick says he’s proven that he can throw the football from the pocket. He says don’t criticize him anymore.

VIEWS: Oh boo hoo. There’s a saying that’s about the sun and some part of a dog… You have 1 good day where you complete 22 of 31 for 228 and 1 TD and suddenly you’re beyond criticism? Perhaps if you were close to 60% or not showing an actual regression in accuracy from last year – oh and don’t forget that herpes thing. Yeah. Don’t criticize me. Nevermind that it’s the media’s job to view and analyze – and yes, Mike, that does include criticism. You got an issue? Here’s a tissue.

NEWS: T.O. has B.O.

VIEWS: Or maybe not, since it’s not as though he worked up a sweat Sunday night. More money this, Donovan McNabb that. Brett Favre here and fight with Hugh Douglas there. Here’s the deal: you don’t know how good you had it in Philly. Returning NFC Champion, rising iconic status for Super Bowl heroics, high-level NFL QB and a front office able to keep a winning team together. And you’ve blown it. It’s just a shame that some other NFL team will probably give him another chance.

NEWS: The Wizards are 3-0.

VIEWS: Shhhh…

NEWS: The Capitals are second bottom in the Eastern Conference.

VIEWS: The Wizards are 3-0.

NEWS: Carolina Panthers cheerleaders… bathroom… kissing, licking, fighting, leaving (in cuffs)…

VIEWS: I-66… cubicle… reading, checking cheerleader’s pictures, envisioning…

NEWS: Michael Irvin bobbed and weaved like he was auditioning to be in Dodgeball 2: Crackheaded Cowboys on ESPN on Sunday when Steve Young asked him no fewer than 10 times if he thought Terrell Owens should apologize.

VIEWS: Michael Irvin is buddy-buddy with Owens, obviously. This is a situation where he didn’t want to jeopardize whatever you call it (friendship?) with Owens by saying he thinks Owens should apologize, but didn’t want to look like a nimrod by saying he thinks Owens shouldn’t apologize. Instead, Irvin came off looking like a total jackass, as Chris Berman and Young both repeatedly asked the same question “Do you think he should apologize?” and Irvin kept trying to go another direction, before Young finally rolled his eyes and looked away from Irvin, resigned to talking about something else. Nice move, Michael. Classy.

NEWS: Puke is #1 in the preseason college basketball polls.

VIEWS: Until they lose to Virginia Tech or someone else they have no business losing to. Hey, that Blue Devils program sure churns out a bunch of top notch pro ball players doesn’t it?

The point is, the Caps are not the LAST team in the NHL, as many expected them to be all season. Certainly, given the way they play in many games (not the last two), they should be. Gotta give them more credit.

I'm amazed that the girls making out in the bathroom stalls weren't Vikings Cheerleaders.
