Off-duty police officer shoots Chargers LB Foley "My understanding is he was shot three times in front of his house by an off-duty officer and that he's in surgery," Foley's agent, David Levine, told The Associated Press.

So...who's for real and who's a pretender so far? Isn't it a little early in the year for this though? I mean I think my Tigers are for real too, but if they start thinking so too it might jinx them. As for the Yankees, I'm not so sure they look as much like an October team as years past.

Homer, Homer, Homer, Homer, Homer, Homer In his first start since learning the knuckleball from Charlie Hough to extend his career, Texas Rangers pitcher R.A. Dickey served up six home runs to the Detroit Tigers. The only pitcher to give up more: Charlie Sweeney of the St. Louis Maroons, who gave up seven to the Detroit Wolverines on June 12, 1886.

Gonzaga: Home o' Sexual Taunts Students cheering on Gonzaga's basketball team have been asked to stop yelling "Brokeback Mountain!" at opponents. "Apparently, a picture of one of the other team's players kissing another guy had been apprehended from the Internet, made into fliers, and handed out to members of the Kennel Club," a student wrote in a letter to the Jesuit school's paper.

Piazza goes to Padres After you thought he was going to an AL team he ends up in San Diego.

I think it was a move in the right direction. It's not a long term move, but. The Padres have had problems putting runs on the board. They have had a pretty good bullpen and a star closer. However, they get scored on and dont score enough runs to compensate. enter- Piazza. Humh..... It will sell tickets too! Go BOLTS oops... Go PADRES

houston needs to sell those seats. [enter vince young] "I'll find a way to make him successful because it's in him," Kubiak said. "I'm a David Carr fan. I like the skills he has. There is no reason that David shouldn't be a successful quarterback." Kubiak is smart not to question Owner McNair's boy Carr. If the Texans pick Vince. There will be controversy. If the Texans pick Reggie and no line. There will be controversy. If the Texans pick either... There will be controversy. Welcome to the NFL... Go BOLTS
Pittsburgh's Road to the Super Bowl Few teams have taken a longer route to the Super Bowl than the Bus-driven Pittsburgh Steelers, whose 34-17 victory over the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship makes them the first team since the 1985 New England Patriots to win three road games to reach the bowl.

Why do the Lions always play on Thanksgiving day? Why the Cowboys? For Detroit it may have something to do with the power of radio. In Dallas' case it probably had a lot to do with Tex Schramm and his role in the merger of the AFL and NFL in 1966—the first year that Dallas made an appearance on Thanksgiving day. Both teams at one point could (or did) call themselves "America's team." [more inside]

Answer this... "Why would an off duty cop from Coronado follow a suspected drunk driver to poway and then try to stop him? That's more than enough time to get an on duty cop to handle it.
