Afternoon Blogdome: Ryan Howard And Snoop Make Fast Friends

•

Ryan Howard loves him some Snoop: The Phillies power hitter rolled with the Snoop Dogg when he was in Philadelphia earlier this week. No giant plumes of smoke or copious amounts of gin/juice drinking seem to be present. Plenty of ladies, though. [ The Fightins]

• Hummer Like Nothing Else just isn't good enough: It's tough to think of an ESPY award more ridiculous than that, but you might as well try. Tim Tebow winning the "Biggest O.A.R. Fan" was a shocker. [ Best Week Ever]

• Denver fans should not be fooled by the Camby trade:"The Camby trade was just a salary dump, plain and simple. Don't be duped by the $10 million trade exemption that team Vice Presidents Mark Warkentien and Rex Chapman are boasting about. Unless a can't miss, home run deal falls into their lap, the Nuggets will enter 2008-09 as presently constructed and will remain "lean" salary cap-wise for the next two seasons." [ Denver Stiffs]

• Jerry Manuel gets grilled by his daughter: Doesn't she know he's a gangster? Manuel's daughter is an intern at CBS 2 in New York and had the opportunity to ask her father how he likes being "interim" manager. Knives out, Jerry. [ Slanch Report]
