Monday morning sports recap

  • The big news everywhere, not just Florida, was whether Tim Tebow would play in Saturday's Florida's / LSU game. Some of the bloggers and sportswriters said it was up to Coach Meyer to make the decision because he is an adult. Tebow at 22 isn't an adult? And really how can we expect a 22-year-old to keep himself out of a game when Cincinnati Bengals coordinator Mike Zimmer flew to Baltimore to work the Bengals / Ravens game Sunday just 2 days after his wife's death?
  • How great is it to see two women working ESPN's SportsCenter on Sunday night? And how cool are their names: Hannah Storm and Sage Steele? 
  • Watching Sunday's evening game with the Colts against the Titans one of the commentators made a comment right before halftime that Peyton Manning wasn't playing like himself and was maybe off a bit. Manning went on to finish the night with 309 yards, three touchdown passes, and he moved up the list to join Kurt Warner and Steve Young as the only NFL quarterbacks to open a season by throwing for at least 300 yards in the first five games. Tee Hee. 
  • How stupid was Owen Schmitt, the Seattle Seahawk fullback who was so excited about his introduction at Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars that he bashed himself in the head with his own helmet several times causing a bloody wound that needed stitches?
  • What must it have been like to watch the Browns / Bills 6-3 game on Sunday live and in person?
  • Interesting that all of the NFL teams wore pink this Sunday to promote October's Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but what was up with the fushia? And what is going on with the throwback uniforms that each team wears during one game? Please, stop the nonsense.
  • Is there a reason that three of the major sports are now overlapping? We are playing baseball in weather where there is snow? It really needs to end before football starts.
  • Frank Caliendo's comment, "Tony Romo used to date a girl with big busts, now he just plays on a team that's bust" is one only men find funny. 
  • Now that Gloria Estefan owns a piece of the Miami Dolphins she has to butt her way into Hank William Jr.'s Monday night football song? I admit though it was catchy and quite entertaining.
