I doubt it, at least for this offseason. The economy won't affect teams for real until next season, when the impact of all those unsold tickets is known. Only prudent front offices will try and hold the line on salaries, and the one team I know of that is in the market for a lot of players is anything but fiscally prudent, as far as I can see.

Starting to get down to it: Carolina - 2 Indianapolis - 1 Miami - 1

THURSDAY Miami FRIDAY Cincinnati SATURDAY Notre Dame Michigan Florida Wisconsin North Carolina Oregon State BYU Baylor Oregon Florida State Kentucky Tulsa Tiebreak #1: How many total points will be scored in the South Carolina/Florida game? 50 Tiebreak #2: How many passing yards will Tulsa's David Johnson have against Houston? 328

Pats -3.5 Rest later.

At what?

Hornets made a hell of a run as expected, coming back to within 3 with 90 seconds left, but Kobe knocked down a killer 3 as the shot clock expired and it looks like the Lakers will hold on to win.

Jericho is the last man standing in what was described to us as a very good TV match. * After the show JBL attacks Michaels. Micheals fights back and hits Sweet Chin Music on him.

Wilbon and Reilly were insufferable on PTI, insisting that the writers overthought themselves and that CC and Brandon Webb should have been the frontrunners (Webb because he had 22 wins, DUH).

Yeah, that was just me not checking the results after tallying everything. I usually check any matchups that alf/909/whoever marked as different from what I got.

Correct. I've fixed it.

Can't run with him. Can't score with him. Can't win with him. Can't do it.

Steve DeBerg might want to be near his phone this week.

Hill's just having fun out there.

Apologies. It's been a while since I've done one of these.

Naturally, the producers made it an actual website: http://www.notafathersday.com

My favourite parts of the leg: 1) The sewing machine guy 2) Paint 3) Phil calling over the guy hosing down the lawn to greet the teams

Non-spoiler match listing: * IC title match - Santino Marella vs. William Regal * Mike Knox vs. D-Lo Brown

I would be giving this a pass for sure were it not for the main event.

Someone should have reminded Herm that Shanahan went for it because he had an offence that works.

Oh well, at least I got SD out of the way. Woe be to anyone else who picks them down the stretch.

I won't mind bowing out of the pool today if it means the Chargers go down to this joke of a team at home.

The wind is going to make things fun in San Diego.

If they look at Peterson's shadow, they'll see the ball was clearly over the goal line. Vikings should be kicking for a one-point lead with 2:22 left.
