STILL SOME SILLY THINGS OUT THERE

Charles Barkley is going to have a colonoscopy on TV to promote cancer awareness.
I think I'll hold off on that wide screen TV for a while.

Chad Johnson (Cin. Bengals, #85) is having his name changed to Ocho Cinco (85). The Bengals are changing his number to 87.

The Yanks beat the Tigers 13-9 yesterday. Both teams were projected to score over 1000 runs this season. With a little luck, both teams should get to 800. Guess they didn't play each other often enough.

Michael Phelps has returned to his home tank at the San Diego Zoo.

Florida and Atlanta played to a standing room "crowd" of 12,000 people yesterday. They were standing so they could get out of the stadium faster.

In spite of having the 2nd best record in major league baseball (and best in the American league), the Tampa Bay Rays are averaging only 21,000 fans a game, a 50% capacity. Why? Perfect weather, beautiful stadium, great pricing (hear that, Hank?), a winning team: what could be wrong? Bad hot dogs?

...on the other hand, the Yanks are 1st in attendance (53,000/game). Rain and smog, a decaying stadium, great pricing (for Hank!), an underachieving team: how come? Those must be some hot dogs.
