I'd grudgingly have to say T.O. was the biggest story (non-story?) because of all the drama associated with it. I'm also one of those who didn't realize that Byron Nelson was still alive.
As for the Superdome and NO, yes it was fantastic to see it all. BUt at the same time I'm curious why so much money, $185 million, and importance was put into restoring the Superdome where there's so much more important things that needed to be done. (IMO) It's great that the city has its football team back in NO, but was that the greatest need for the city?
Something that hopefully won't be added to this list is the following: Buck O'Neil was hospitalized a week or so ago and the story coming out as of this morning was that thing took a turn for the worse Thursday night.
Magic number = 4.
Here's hoping for enough Cardinal victories to make the game vs San Fran moot.
Barring that, I want a three-way tie in the Central. That would be cool.
Eric Neel's take on the Card's collapse is high-larious and deserves reading: Collapse?
How about this Chinese guy, boxing a kangaroo at the fourth annual Animal Olympics in Shanghal this week. Totally under the radar, but awesome nonetheless.
Could you imagine if the NFL decided ties for wild card spots "on the field"? Like a midweek Wednesday game, winner plays as the actual wild card on Sunday! Who cares about the lack of prep time.....next time, win your divison!
(Akin to the idea of 2 wild card baseball teams playing one game....burn your best pitcher.)
There were bigger stories this week, but Petey out for the post-season broke my heart.
As a sox fan, I too am sad to see Pedro go down. I'd like to see him get another ring.
One has to wonder, however, is Omar getting bashed yet? Is Theo getting a pat on the back?
My most signif...appearing naked onstage in the Musical the Full Monty.
Horrifing...but quite fun.
And the only people who are traumatized are the ones who paid to see it.

Again, bigger stories for the week, but God bless Brad Radke for pitching again. It really means a lot to his team and their fans.
What would Omar possibly get bashed for? Pedro contributed mightily the first half of the season (and last season); Omar should get plaudits for making sure the Mets weren't overly dependent on Pedro.
Of course, come Year 4 of the bloated contract, if Pedro is 1-5 with a 6.37 ERA and multiple stints on the DL, Omar might take some hits. But it's not like the Mets are a small market team and can't afford to overpay for Pedro.
bottle, you're finding things that aren't there. If he had said:
"Be.Very.Careful"
Then you might have something.
But Da Bears aren't!
Even these guys agree!

I agree with ron, bottlerockets. I didn't see that as a Shanoff-related comment at all. It reminded me more of Be Afraid. Be Very Afraid.
What about Chris Henry puking out a car window? All of us in Cincy are just so damn proud.
So which game is Florida going to lose by two TDs? Auburn? LSU? Georgia? FSU? Two or more?
OVERRATED.
