Yup. McBain's ability to distinguish between delusion and reality. With that in mind, here are his I will say one thing.
Or two. Either way, I will make a concession on 120's power rankings from a couple weeks ago. The Cowboys have filled a huge hole at quarterback by benching Drew Bledsoe and replacing him with the guy whose name sounds dangerously close to a slur against homosexuals.
Oh, and Ryan? Are the Colts really the NFL's worst undefeated team ever? Peyton shredded the NFL's best defense, and yes that includes Chicago and Baltimore, to the tune of 4 touchdown passes against the Broncos.
So their defense blows. So what.
Shit or get off the pot: Roger Clemens, fine.
When you're a first ballot Cooperstown lock, you can get away with annually bamboozling the incipid media into believing you might actually retire. When you're Andy Petitte, stop feeling sorry for yourself. Houston's crafty left-hander (and incidentally Clemens' closest friend) recently told espn.
com that he was burned out and wasn't sure if he wanted to come back. Yeah, it must be rough to be in your early thirties, making umpteen million dollars a year to play a game for six months, and be fairly good at it to boot. I just decided, I might actually have to punch Andy Petitte.
Hard. In the nuts.
Speaking of Nuts: Can anyone else not stand to wait any longer to see how Reggie Evans gets treated by Clipper fans the first time the Nuggets come to L.
A.? I'll be the first person to tell you, basketball ranks last with me in terms of enjoyment when it comes to the four major sports.
And soccer. And tennis. And womens curling.
But it might just surpass synchronized swimming with a few more storylines like this.
Quotebook: ..

I gotta say, I might be coming around on this guy.
Anyone who can sneak an ethnically questionable remark into an astute observation and not get fired is okay with me.
Lernerism of the week: Not sure if I should be giving credit to Todd on this, or if he stole from basketbawful or another one of our favorite fellow blogs. But imagining Tyrus Thomas looking like Owen Wilson after getting his nose broken courtesy of a James Posey elbow made me giggle maniacally.
My work colleagues now question the extent of my sanity.
Somewhere: You know that somewhere out there, some moron who picked Sage Rosenfels in his office fantasy football league just because he liked the name has bragging rights for 54 years even if he never wins another matchup. And no, that was not a veiled pat on my own back.
Negative 4.3 points thanks to Jake Delhomme for yours truly. It's a good thing I.

oh, screw all of you.
Homer moment: I'm allowed one of these per article. But I'm certain I'm not the only Angelino who treated last night's Laker win over Phoenix with a bit of wistfulness.
I couldn't help but feel that a virtuoso performance by Lamar Odom, and workmanlike contributions from Andrew Bynum, Maurice Evans, and Smush Parker came six months and one single, solitary game too late. Que sera sera. Doesn't look the same without the accent over the a, does it?
Thanks for having a shot of 120 Proof.
