•A couple days ago, Jay Feely Tweeted this: "As good as Roy Halladay has pitched this yr for Phillies, it's almost impossible for him to pitch as well as Cliff Lee in playoffs last yr". That's funny, I recall Cliff Lee giving up at least one hit last year.

•Brent Musberger opines that pro sports could, and possibly should allow athletes to use steroids. Why not?

You think I'm joking, but I may have just described the future of sports.
