Madonna apparently says of New York Yankees third-basemen Alex Rodriguez that he has “the heart of a poet trapped inside an insanely gorgeous body.”
People tell me that all the time, so I don’t see what the big deal is. I’m still baffled, as I assume all of you are, by this whole A-Rod/Madonna freak fest. My only guess is that Madonna is using Rodriguez for his skin.
New York Jets and New England Patriots go toe-to-toe tomorrow night.
Who cares? Well, many people care, but what I mean is why is there so much hype on this game? A rivalry is there, the two teams hate each other, and the AFC East lead is in tact. However, why can’t the Patriots/Jets-Favre hype die down?
Chauncey Billups’ effects on the Denver Nuggets
This should be in the headlines instead of what’s in the bold above. Though, that’s not happening. Billups has been his usual self in Denver in a couple of games so far, and the offense has been running more smooth than ever. Perhaps this is what Carmelo Anthony truly needed — true point guard who can also hit big shots when they matter.
Greg Oden returns tonight
Cool. Time to see if he can produce any more than he did in his first game. He had a few rebounds and a pair of blocks in his first game against the Lakers in which he only played thirteen minutes of, scoring no points. Hopefully he can put on a show against Dwyane Wade, Michael Beasley, Shawn Marion and the Heat tonight.
Tony Romo ready to play against Washington
In the sole word of Drew Rosenhaus, “NEXT!” I didn’t know it took so long to come back from a broken pinkie. In other news, has there ever been more news surround an injured player before? Not since 1990-1991 when the Boston Celtics’ Larry Bird’s career met its demise.

“For he was a man and he was alone and these things had no importance to him.” — From Richard Matheson’s I am Legend.
I’ve had the book I am Legend on my bookshelf for quite some time now, but I never took in any consideration of reading it until this morning.
The reason I’m reading the book is because that’s my mood — pretty despondent at the moment. Y’know how you fall in love with her, and you can’t go a day without hearing her beautiful voice emanate divine and celestial words, you begin to get a little crazy — a crazy that you live for each and every single day of your life.
Hearing that voice from her (if you don’t know who her is, then you’re nuts) isn’t going to be happening as avidly as before for the next couple of weeks, but we’re sticking it out.
In the meantime, I’ve taken comfort in reading I am Legend by Richard Matheson because of the protagonist Robert Neville’s solitary existence on earth, trying to track a disease and fend off zombies.
It doesn’t truly apply to the situation I’m actually facing myself, but for some reason I’m taking comfort in reading the book.
Just another reason why books are a more-than-GREAT outlet for that ‘getting away’ type of feeling.
