The Quick Take

Welcome to The Quick Take, a short rundown on current sports stories.

1. Rick DiPietro's 15-year deal with the Islanders
Almost as bad as that deal black people had with white people in America 200 years ago, you know, slavery. At least he's getting paid.

2. Deion Branch
Patriots show him the door and the Seahawks show him the money. Give Jerry Porter a call in Oakland and offer him a few tips.

3. Atlanta Braves end 14-game winning streak
Amazing... too bad they lost 73 games before that and still have a losing record.

4. Federer wins US Open
Not really news, pretty much routine now. Did you really think Roddick had a chance?

5. WNBA Championship
Did you know this was going on? Neither did I...

6. Colt McCoy
No longer news after OSU debacle.

7. Jays projected to lose $22 Million this year
Rogers communications earns $7.9 billion, declares "no biggie"

8. More Drugs in sports
Also not really news a la 4) and 6). Taking a line from a song, "legalize it!"

9. Michigan - Notre Dame
"Sorry, I'm busy saturday afternoon, can we reschedule?"

10. Brett Favre
Shutout and threw 2 INTs (Now on pace for 32, you might beat last year if you try!). I got the perfect team for you Brett, retired NFL players!
