The folks at TGI Friday’s must be pleased

So…it’s kind of a slow day in the world of sports today. The most newsworthy item I have seen so far comes to us from Wisconsin, where the Milwaukee Brewers are offering free prostate cancer screenings at Miller Park. The best part of this news release is the fact that the screenings will take place in a mobile vehicle near TGI Friday’s.

Easy joke of the day? Wait for it… They would never need to do this in New York, because Roger Clemens already cured cancer there.

Wow…those NHL playoffs are pretty entertaining, aren’t they?

Can somebody tell Justin Morneau that its time to start the 2007 season?
---
When did Brook Hogan turn into Hulk Hogan without the mustache?

Can you guess the one TV show that makes me nostalgic and wish for the glory days of 2005? If you guessed American Casino, give yourself a pat on the back.

If I could somehow combine the experience of winning a double down in blackjack with the entertainment I receive from the Sopranos every Sunday night -- that would be a pretty good feeling.
---
I am really looking forward to watching Mike Redmond play everyday for the next two weeks. He is the new Torii Hunter when it comes to grounding into double plays and hitting weak singles to right field.

Quote of the weekend during my golf trip a few days ago…the name of the person who made the comment will be hidden to protect his anonymity: “After what we ate and drank last night, today is a day to not trust a fart.”

Drink recommendation of the week: Klarbrunn Sparkling Water with natural “black cherry” flavor. It’s like a party in your mouth every time you drink it.

It’s been said before, but the current Twins roster reminds me a little of the Scott Stahoviak, Chip Hale, and Bernardo Brito glory days of 1995. This year we have Nick Punto, Jason Tyner, and now Chris Heintz on the roster. Could we PLEASE score a few runs?
---
American Idol just hasn’t been the same since Haley Scarnato got voted off.
---
The fact that I am going on three straight years of not watching any playoff basketball doesn’t bother me a bit.
---
I am going to set October 15 as the date when Randy Moss announces he won’t be talking to the Boston media.
---
About every 2 or 3 weeks, I think Kevin McHale should be reminded that he fired Flip Saunders for no apparent reason and now his team not only sucks, but they have very little upside or chance for improvement over the next four years.
---
Is Tubby Smith still coaching the Gophers basketball team? Shouldn’t we be hearing something from him?
---
Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte are adorable together, aren’t they?
---
If those two guys named Ron and Fez can have a radio show on XM, I think anyone can have a radio show on XM.

David Ortiz might have ingested something that had steroids in it? No? Really? Shocking news, really.

Okay, not to only comment about the one non-sports item on your list but haley scarnato, really!?!!? don't get it, she is nas-tay!

I have to say, I didn't think I could hate the Patriots more than I already do but with Randy being on the roster I will have one more reason to love to watch them lose (if they ever actually lose....ugh!).

I don't know where to start. first of all, I love this because it reminds me of thesplog. no offense, omaha, but you can only have one first love.

okay so the clemens cancer joke is brilliant. american casino? check. sopranos? half-check. (I think the miscasting of little robby ilar is laughable at this point. he's tony's son only if the mom was mirna the little person from the amazing race.) mchale? check. tubby? check. xm radio? check. you and I should get a show where I dish it out but can't take it.

Can't stop laughing about AJ Soprano. You are right, he would never be the choice to play Tony's son now.

I thought I was the one who could dish but not take it? That would make good radio, two guys with acid tongue and thin skin.
