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.

In an article written by Paul Coro of The Arizona Republic, he states that a few of the Portland Trailblazers players said the Phoenix Suns ‘bullied’ them and their play was physical.
What?
Are we talking about the Suns? I’m delighted to say we are. For the greater part of 20 years, the Suns have been labeled as soft. The closest they got to being tough was during the Charles Barkley years and that was basically only because of Sir Charles.
To have teams/players say (and to the media) that the Suns bullied them, frankly, makes me very enthralled! The NBA can be so physical, you have to be tough if you want to advance. The Celtics are tough, the Spurs are tough, the Rockets are tough, the Jazz have always been physical, and the Lakers are (I guess) tough.
But the fact is they do have a tough, gritty team. Shaquille O’Neal, Amare Stoudemire is playing more man-like, Steve Nash has always been tough, Matt Barnes is a scrapper, Raja Bell, Robin Lopez etc.
Personally, I’m not ready to label them as being a ‘physical’ team, but to have other players/teams think they are is definitely a good sign.
