Geez, with that title I thought Shannon Miller died. (all-arounder, gymnastics) At least this guy (who I've never heard of) was 84 so he didn't die young.

He admitted to doing roids. Both screw up your heart.

Ken Caminiti count?

I saw that too. That's crazy. I went to junior high with one of his nephews. Shows you what roids can do. Very sad.

Me too.

Yeah, but when Minny asked it was still the weekend of week 7. That's why I said it was just week 7 as in past tense.

I jinxed someone for the 2nd straight week as the Rams pulled a miracle comeback on the Seahawks to win in OT. These are the only players who can make picks. Picks must be in by kickoff Sunday. A duplicate pick, no pick, or pick of a team that wins knocks the player out of the competition. I took over for Chisoxrd5 because someone has to do it and if I keep jinxing all of you I'll eventually win.

And I jinx a person for the 2nd week in a row! BTW, rd5, why would you pick a team as dangerous as the Rams over a s***ty team like the Dolphins?

The Seattle blowout pending (up 14 after 3) we will all survive. How boring...

Braves win! 1st and 3rd, 1 out Smoltz induces a double play! This Braves team is showing more fire and heart than past teams. They used to fold when down in the playoffs. In this game alone they showed more heart than in entire playoffs from previous years. Smoltz even yelled and went nuts when they won.

I'm glad I jinxed Springer. He had 2 strikes on Furcal with 2 outs, nobody on. He hit him. First pitch to JD Drew, Furcal steals second. After taking 3 straight balls Drew got the count to 3-1. Looked at strike 2 and then drove a high fastball to right center, Braves lead 6-5. Smoltz is now pitching with 1 out, Bagwell at 1st in the bottom of the 9th. Berkman is up in a long at bat.

It's tied 5-5 in the top of the 9th. The Braves were down 5-2 before a 3 run HR in the 6th. In the bottom of the 8th the Astros and 1st and 3rd with 2 outs. There was a groundball between 1st and 2nd, Giles from shallow RF throws over to Smoltz to barely get the out at 1st. Amazing play, and in the clutch. A managerial mistake by Garner forced Lidge out of the game after the 8th (he only pitched 1 inning). He needed a pinch hitter in the 8th and didn't do a double switch at the right time or something. Currently Springer is blowing away the Braves in the 9th.

Turner has actually had decent recruiting years recently. The problem is that he can't coach or something. It's sad for Illinois when they out recruit a school like Northwestern every year, yet they have been the lesser team recently. If Illinois could bring in a new coach and he could recruit as well as Turner (considering Illinois has been terrible and they still recruit decently) while being a better game coach or whatever the problem is...they are set as being a solid Big Ten team.

No, it was just week 7.

That just brings back bad memories. Why did you have to show that?

Sure, you can make it to the playoffs with a small cap, but it's a hell of a lot easier to pay up.

Nelly is a sports fan, maybe he was a fan of Tim's father.

Marte basically sucked this year. I'm hoping he turns it around.

My point is that people have been saying this for the past 4 years about the Bulls. They have not turned it around once. It's too much of a wait and see with so many rookies. Predicting the Bulls to do well is like saying the Clippers will be the best franchise in the league within 5 years. Sure, it could happen, but let's just say all signs point to no.

He showed enough flashes.

Valentin for the price is terrible. Borchard is worse for any price. Let Valentin go and hope you can trade Borchard for some AAAA player.

Garland and Contreras are Cs.

Emphasis on know. I don't think they were sure.

f*** the Sawx! With that out of the way, it's always good to see you post in the sports bar and elsewhere. Happy Birthday!

Leave it to the Danes.
