Five Reasons to Watch the World Series So it's not Manny being Manny and shots of Ben Affleck sitting in the stands. It is still going to be a great series for all the right reasons.

Go Rays. Maddon's pitching moves late won game 7 against the Red Sox (1 part good managing, 3 parts luck and 6 parts arrogance). Overall the Rays were the best team in baseball this year, limit the defensive errors and it'll be Rays in 6.

Ring it up! Celtics crush Lakers for 17th title There were legendary Celtics sitting in the stands, with names like Russell, Havlicek, Heinsohn, Maxwell, Ainge, and White, who could all tell stories about the days when they touched the NBA championship trophy, sprayed champagne on each other, and watched Red Auerbach proudly puff on a victory cigar. After a 22-year wait that included the retirement of Larry Bird, lots of lean years, and the death of Auerbach, the Celtics have new legends named Pierce, Allen, and Garnett, who now can tell their stories about touching the trophy, spraying champagne, and wishing Red were here to witness it.

The Lakers have an enormous amount of offensive talent, and only need to add some toughness and heart to be better next year. The "Derek and the Dominoes (Vujaflop, Gasolyield, Radmanoslap)" defence they play is painful to watch and they'll need a whole lot more to get them by the up and comers in the West.

But the one thing I think everyone learned from this finals is that Kobe is NOT Jordan Amen ... Nearly puked when I heard that crap, but then I watched the delivery and it seemed the announcers reading the teleprompter didn't even believe it as they were speaking. Look, the guy has more size and certainly can match on athletic ability, but that's where it ends. If he's playing against an average defender who he can torch for 40 he's effective and gets some time on the nightly highlight reel. Jordan won so many games for his teams by making his 'mates better than they were. It's evident that Kobe's 'mates don't really like the dude, and he has a cancerous effect when the going gets tough. It was fantastic seeing Sweet Ray, KG, Pierce and the tremendously underrated supporting cast and coach get their due. Unbelievable team defense, unselfish offense, a real treat for any true ball fan, Celtics or not.

You got Rondo'd. In just his 2nd year in the NBA, Boston Celtic Rajon Rondo has won the hearts of many. He is featured on the homepage of Reebok with this latest campaign. Yet the national announcers on Thursday often refered to the struggles of Rajon and that the fans are up and down on his play. So what do the fans really think about Rajon in general and in the playoffs?

He reminds me of Sam Cassell in many ways .. he could care less if he scored 6 or 40, as long as his team wins; he's got the talent and knack to hit the key shot (or make the key assist) whenever called on. He does what it takes it win.

Mavericks begin rebuilding from the top Dallas fires coach Avery Johnson after another playoff disaster.

What is really lacking in Dallas is any focus on team chemistry. Traded away are all of the key role players that once made the Mavs a contender. They are stuck with a group of overpaid aging superstars. If Kidd returns next year expect a further decline ... golf season begins 2 weeks earlier in Dallas in 2009.

Couldn't believe when they traded for Kidd, can't believe that Avery has anything to do with their decline, but I guess the owner can't fire himself !!

New home not so sweet for CFL? The Canadian Football League's move solely to cable network TSN is apparently not all roses.

grum - you hit it on the head. No one outside of the mistake by the lake really gives a hoot anymore about what goes on there. Adding another perennial loser to their stable of sports failures isn't about to change that. Probably be a good thing - the rest of us would get a chance to follow a variety of games, not just those involving the 3 lame teams from TO. Before I hit the send button, I'll add ..... TSN blows !! Trade - you allow us to subscribe to ESPN and we'll give you Toronto and Quebec.

It was classic watching Bill B. leave the field before the game was over. Down go the Pats. Wow. Classic. Didn't watch the post game - did he actually even face the media and congratulate his opponents ?

An All Prairie Grey Cup After holding (and winning) their first home playoff game in 19 years and then beating the B.C. Lions on the road, the Saskatchewan Roughriders are heading to Toronto to play the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the 95th Grey Cup. After losing All-Star QB Kevin Glenn to a broken arm in the Eastern Conference Final, Winnipeg seems to be the clear underdog.

Ryan Dinwiddie won 13 straight games for Boise State and broke a few of Doug Flutie's college records. He'll be the starter.

Should be a classic. I've submitted all of the statistical information into the CFL supercomputer (286 running DOS) to have it predict the outcome. The computer predicts a close game, with the Bombers winning on a single point off of a missed 18 yard Troy Westwood field goal setup by a no-yards penalty on a Saskatchewan punt.

ARod returning to the Yankees.
Asked whether the only remaining details were putting the deal on paper, Steinbrenner responded: "pretty much so."

Wow .. Things couldn't have worked out better .. for the Redsox, that is. Reduces the market value of the player they want for 3B (Lowell), guarantees the Yanks post season failure for the coming years.

A-Rod Opts Out of Contract He has taken off th pinstripes. I think he did this now to divorce himself from the managerial decision coming tomorrow. I also think that he knows something about Posada, Rivera, and Pettitte that others don't. Where's he going: nobody knows.

"I for one (and it seems I'm about the only one) think that A-Rod should face no ill-will for opting out. Not even for doing it in the 8th inning of the last game of a World Series he wasn't involved in?" Comment icon posted by yerfatma at 2:24 PM CST on October 29 Hey yerfatma, Guess you didn't know that ARod has a performance clause with the Yanks that's triggered when he makes an appearance in the World Series ... think this counts?

ARod is a perenial loser, any team that signs him is guaranteed never to win any important games. He's a cancer and cares only about himself. Mike Lowell has 3 things ARod doesn't, class, will, and dedication. The Red Sox would be fools not to resign him, he's a proven clutch performer. Signing him would certainly put the Red Sox as a favorite again next year.

Society really amazes me ..
Some poor street type robs a store to obtain food or clothing, and we call them criminals and send them off to jail.
Corporate leaders steal billions through insider trading / creative accounting / option dating and they continually walk away free.
Where are we headed ?
