The Morning Wood - 10/25/06

Stud: MLB Players (I refuse to support the Cardinals in any way - so fuck Chris Carpenter).
A new labor deal was agreed to yesterday which resulted in minimal changes to the current agreement. So what does that mean for steroids? Absolutely nothing. Salary Cap? No. Nothing's changed. Um yeah, the news about this is that cheaters can continue to cheat, the wealthy teams will continue to eat up high-price free agents and announcers/reporters will be paid bonuses to fellate Jeter and chip away at A-Rod's ego.

Dud: Francisco Liriano
Similar to the likes of Darry Strawberry, Koren Robinson and Doc Gooden, Franciso Liriano's rehab isn't going too well. Let's hope he comes out of it. I'd hate for him to be a flash in the pan like these guys.

Talk Around The Cooler:
I guess things are bad when not only the players quit on you, but your staff can't deal with the tragedy that your football team has become. Hence, the resignation of Maurice Carthon as offensive coordinator of the Browns. If only he were a fuckin' soldier - maybe he could stick it out the rest of the season.

The Yankees are going to pick up Gary Sheffield's $13 million option for the pure purpose of trading him. Probably not a bad idea. Although, I'm sure this definitely irks Mr. Sheffield. If you didn't know, the reason he swings so hard at the ball isn't because he's trying to hit a homerun every at bat - it's because the ball is white. I doubt being put on the auction block going to sit well with him.

So, the Cowboys' season is done. Tony fuckin' Romo will be starting this week. And the nickname of Tony "Oh No" will be very fitting. I have nothing to look forward to anymore aside from Bill Parcells' man-pouch increasing in size week to week, Michael Irvin galavanting about how good the Cowboys are, T.O. trying to kill himself. OH, and me being able to sexually harass women all weekend - and have a legit excuse.

Quick Hits:
This comes as a HUGE surprise! Roy Williams is clearly delusional and I love it. KAZAAM!
