Browns do play the Eagles this year. Garcia should just take the $25,000 fine and just go punch TO in the mouth before the game.

1. I guess go with Corey, but do NOT underestimate the Bengals O-Line, and I really think they'll have similar stats. 2. Griffin could rack up yards, but can he nadle 300 carries. I guess I would take Suggs over Griffin, but neither too high. 3. Hasselbeck>Green>Favre 4. I'll take McNabb over Vick because he is a lot more durable. 5. Depends on how big your league is. I don't think he will put big numbers, fantasy numbers.

Hope Glavine is OK, and I hope the EMS provided Glavine more support than the Mets.

I think Clement is a better No. 4 than Zambrano. I think the fact that Zambrano gets so fired up may help him in the playoffs, that way he probably wouldn't have to pitch more than 2 innings per game. And even though I really don't hold his attitude in high esteem after the Cards incident, he is a hell of a pitcher at times.

After looking at the rest of the schedule, I have to think the Cubs have the best shot. Check out SF's last 15 games: San Diego (3), Houston (3), Los Angeles (3), at San Diego (3), at Los Angeles (3) The Padres have all six games still vs. St. Louis, seven games vs. Los Angeles and six games vs. San Francisco and 3 games against the Cubs and Atlanta each.

Woody Williams is a gamer though, he usually plays great towards the end of the season. Now if Matt Morris plays the Cubs, the only way the Cards win is about 15-11.

And even if they did play, practice squad players rarely play.

On espn.com Tony La Russa said that Larry Walker was going to bat 2nd or 4th, while Walker said he was batting 5th, can somebody make up their minds. Personally I say put him at 6th.

I disagree, even without the hit it is still a sack.

Maybe, but right now you're rotation is only better on paper, they have to get healthy. It's funny today I was thinking about St. Louis's post-season rotation, I really think they're No.1 guy at the beginning of the year will be the Game 3 starter. Game 1 - Woody Williams Game 2 - Cris Carpenter Game 3 - Matt Morris Game 4 - Jason Marquis Suppan doing long relief, and I know Carpenter has had a better season, but I just see Williams being the Game 1 starter. And also in everybody's lineup's Edmonds is at the 4 spot, I think LaRussa leaves Rolen at #4.

I'll just go with my current teams: Cardinals Overrated: Matt Morris (If only for the fact that he is supposed to be a #1 quality pitcher and is so hit or miss lately) Underrated: Yadier Molina (If Matheny was not such a great defensive catcher, Molina could easily step in, and he has a better bat.) Bengals Overrated: Peter Warrick (If you draft somebody 4th overall, he better be a No.1 WR, but he only flourished once defenses focused on Chad Johnson.) Underrated: Levi Jones (Panned by Mel Kiper Jr. when the Bengals made the selection, Jones will likely have a Pro Bowl season.) Jazz Overrated: None that I can think of, I guess we'll have to see what Boozer can do. Underrated: Andrei Kirilenko (Many complained about his All-Star selection because of his PPG, but is he one of the most complete players in the league.) Blues Overrated: Keith Tkachuk Underrated: Jamal Mayers

Obviously this guy was a bust, but how about Danny Ferry's contract once he got to the NBA. I think it was a 10 year, 11 million dollar contract. Who the hell was his agent? Did he think that player salaries would not rise, or did he just know Ferry would be a marginal player, so he got him security.

So fans cannot boo Sosa and announcers cannot be critical. Its funny because like someone else said, I didn't think Stone and Caray were being that bad.

Rams DT Jimmy Kennedy may also miss the entire season after breaking his foot today. Interesting as the Rams allowed him to go back up to the 335 lbs. he weighed in college after wanting him to get down to 310 at the start of last season.

What's that local time for you guys?

Well the Bengals had their first major injury yesterday as backup LB and special teams monster Khalid Abdullah broke his ankle in a goal line scrimmage. This sucks as everybody can point to the D-Line as being weak, but two of the three backups at LB are rookies.

Regular season starts Thursday, September 9th with one game, Indianapolis at New England with all of the other games starting the following Sunday.

As a Cards fan, if Dusty wants to do that, it's fine with me. Zito is a lefty and still young so as long as he has a decent stretch, they will get some value, but I am still unsure the A's unload him.

Is that basically what the depth chart is at New England? I never can really tell between the No.'s 1-3 spots.

What a great radio call of Iverson's shot, too bad I was WATCHING it on ESPN!

I think they kiss up to him too much, but as far as best LB's of all time I think Ray Lewis can be in the fold. And as a Bengal fan, I hate saying that....

Aspiring running backs should watch this game to see effective forearm shivers.

What's with the Venus & Serena hate? Sure I wouldn't mind seeing their Dad have to have his mouth wired shut, but I really have no problem with the sisters.

Good thing Playmakers is off of the air. Too unrealistic.....

Maybe, the Cards actually seem to be playing better on the road than at home too. I expect them to take the next two, since they emphasize winning each series.
