Oh, the stupidity of them all.....

In an otherwise light day, we are forced to look on current events for our sustenance, and fortunately, America's sporting personalities offered up a double dose of idiotic moves.

We'll start with Donovan McNabb, who, in what only be described as "problematic" from a team management point, apparently doesn't know the rules of the game in which he is an above average player(he currently has the lowest completion ratio of the any QB in the top 15 in yards, and uh, his 3 interceptions against the tenacious Cincinnati "D" didn't help on Sunday).

But even leaving that aside, what can you expect from someone whose rise to fame can be attributed to a series of soup commercials?  And this one is especially revealing!

"Ah, please, one more Ma?" --as is "one more overtime period, Donovan?"

But you can leave Donovan aside briefly--at least he has his post-NFL career sorted out....

Let's turn our attention to the financially stricken Mark Cuban, who apparently, at a net worth of 1.8 billion, just didn't have enough to do.  He was accused yesterday of insider trading to the tune of 750k in the search engine company, www.mamma.com--the "mother of all search engines."  Just a side note--how can you be the mother of all search engines when, like, you were invented after Google?  Note to marketing department: try the Search Engine's "Favorite Son", "Search Engine II" or "Giggle" or something.

If you are inclined to admire this maverick entrepreneur, just take a deep breath, hold that thought and reconsider what you're supporting.  And watch a little of this first:

I rest my case.

The Top rebounded yesterday with a "snow or no snow" call--if it isn't blowing than they'll be throwing.  The Bills showed why they're the NFL's biggest collapse and let the lowly Browns move to 4-6 at Ralph Wilson home stadium in a 29-27 victory.  By the way, you have to love Ralph Wilson--at 90, he's the oldest NFL franchise owner and has been credited with keeping the AFL (and therefore the future NFL) afloat by loaning money to the Raiders and Patriots during the 70s.  (Another note:  Hey Mark Cuban: next time, just call Ralph!)

Anyway, the game was tough slogging.  After the over was locked on, I'll be honest--I fell asleep.  Something about watching Jamal Lewis run for 3 yards does that to me.

Tonight is light, but we'll turn our attention to the NHL and NCAA football:

Calgary at Colorado--total goals over 5

Yes, we're scraping the bottom of the barrel, but this one seems fairly obvious--Calgary had not played a road game all month that has yielded less than 5 goals.  And we all know the puck travels faster in thin air....

Northern Illinois-3 at Kent State, O/U 49

Coming off an impressive high scoring victory over Temple, the Kent St. Golden Flashes play host to the usually tough Huskies, who have lost two straight.  I guess they don't have a Michael Turner or Garrett Wolfe this year!

This looks to be a high scoring affair as both teams have given up a combined 80 points in their last two games.  

We like the over.  

If you're inclined to the spread, take Northern Illinois.  They played two close games at against major programs (Tenn L 9-13 and Minnesota L 27-31).  They should beat the Flashes, even on the road.

We'll be back tomorrow with a monster Germany/England preview.  Until then, happy hunting.

Go Stuff!
