Another Quick Take

1. Cardinals lose after being up 20-0
Matt Leinhart looks good doesn't he? Too bad he's on Arizona. Rex Grossman has 6 turnovers and was terrible, only the Cardinals could screw that up. I know it's golf, but I'm beginning to think that if you were to make Tiger Woods wear a Cardinals jersey, he'd never win another tournament again.

2. North Korean Nuclear Test
Kim Jong Il, the only challenge to Tiger Woods' golf supremacy, scares the world with what might be a nuclear test. Question, when did the world become the US, Japan, South Korea and China? This has nothing to do with sports, but man, that Kim Jong Il golf thing always makes me laugh.

3. Raptors' Preseason
I'm excited. My brother got seasons' tickets. Steve Kerr says #2 . Even PJ Tucker and Kris Humphries have contributed in games. I think PJ Tucker is a huge upgrade over Hoffa Araujo. They don't play the same postion you say? Well think about it this way: If PJ Tucker is confined to the bench because there isn't enough time to go around, then when he does play he will probably put up better numbers than Hoffa's all-time best Quintuple-Single.

4. Clippers blown out by Russians
What a joke. Everyone made fun of the Raptors losing to Maccabi Tel Aviv last year, at least that was by a buzzer beater. The Clippers starters were already down by 10 at the half. Pathetic. Either that, or Ivan Drago, Red Scorpion and Omega Red are playing basketball now.

5. Chuck Hayes starts at C for Rockets
He's 6'6". Yes, a whole foot shorter than Yao Ming. Are you still going to look at Juwan Howard in fantasy leagues? In any case, Chuck Hayes is my boy (according to some readers). Who is Chuck Hayes? The website will tell all (if not all, then something).

6. Google Buys YouTube for 1.65 Billion
That's a lot of money. This isn't really sports news, except my buddy sent me this hilarious video on YouTube, starring my other "boy" Vince Carter.

7. Massive College Football Brawl
Of course it involves Miami, aka Thug U. However, it also involved FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY. Yes. Flortida International. You thought the Gators or the Seminoles were the big in-state rivals? No! "Soylent Green is People!", "It was Earth after all!" I don't know... it's just weird and unlikely.

8. Corey Lidle Dies in Plane Crash
Speaking of weird and unlikely... It's always sad to see a former Jay go, even if he had like one season here.

9. Double Take Readers admonish writer for putting Corey Lidle story so low, vow revenge
Pfft, what can six people do? That includes that iMac guy who left a comment a couple weeks ago.

10. Detroit Tigers Sweep A's
Yet again Billy Beane can't assemble a World Series team. Show me the money? I suppose making it to the ALCS is good enough if the fans keep coming.

11. Hockey season started (2 weeks ago)
Yes, that's why it's story #11, there's never a story 11, but this is where I felt is should be.
