Tuesday Musings...

Some Tuesday musings:

Brett Favre unretires. C'mon dude. Stay away. You get the feeling that Favre was one of these college freshman who used to frequently return to his high school to get some love. At any rate, it looks the INT record will grow larger.

When will the ax come down on Roger Clemens? If only for the decades long affair he had with country singer Mindy McCready, while she was 15. Slice it anyway you want, the Rocket is a grade A creep. And not a Hall of Famer.

Has anyone else been paying attention to the Cy Young type season of St. Louis' Cris Carpenter? This guy's record is 13-3! I'd say he's all the way back from arm problems, no?

U.S. Supreme Court judge John Paul Stevens is nearing 90 years of age. Ruth Ginsburg is 76 and ailing. While Anthony Kennedy and Antonin Scalia are both 73. Assuming BHO gets eight years, he will possibly pick the next four judges to the U.S. Supreme Court in addition to Justice Sotomayor. Talk about living your dreams. Whilst in Harvard, BHO was a Supreme Court scholar. If my thesis is correct, BHO will have had a hand in choosing 55% of the Supreme Court. That will be BHO's lasting legacy. Only no one is talking about it.

I tried to watch Mad Men Season III on Sunday night. I wanted to love it. I hated it and didn't see what all the buzz is about.

Fantasy football is coming back. Krist. The pressure. Who's the goal-line back in Jacksonville? I must prepare and read my preseason periodicals. And no more Tom Brady with the first pick. I learned that lesson real fast last year.

Interesting addendum to my baseball card post of last week. Two of my avid baseball card cronies, Joe D'Angelis and Tommy Gooch, inform me that Mickey Mantle is not part of last year's 6600-card Yankee Stadium Legacy set by Upper Deck. Imagine all those game cards from the 1950s and 1960s and not a single Mickey Mantle. Why? Because Topps owns the rights to Mantle's likeness.

Kate Sullivan of WCBS-TV in New York is good enough reason to wake up at 6 am.

Let me get this straight: Kate Gosselin is complaining about papparazzi taking photos of her family. Wasn't she the one who whored herself out to TLC with the television show? Am I missing something? From my humble opinion, if you invite the cameras to roll 24/7 in your home, don't you pretty much waive your right to privacy? And (we watched last night) when she goes off with a day trip with some of the kids, who watches the other brats? Couldn't have been Jon because he was with two of the daughters--so that leaves three unaccounted for. How's my math?
