as opposed to rooting FOR Shane Victorino

And the list goes on.I was going to base my support on the Phillies of the Yankee fans' constant barrage on the Mets. But...what's really rational hereBoth teams bag on the Mets a ton. Philly actually laid off some this year just because they won. Honestly, I'd rather see some intensity return to the rivalry with both teams being hungry again (the Mets are the ones who really need to hold up their end of the bargain here).And, additionally, many Yankee fans don't actually care about the Mets.

Some even have a soft spot for the Mets.The Phillies have a similar "we're better than you" attitude at times, even though they can't back it up.As far as money goes...maybe it's not the Yanks' fault they spend like they do Baseball doesn't do much to prevent it. Essentially, they rake in the most money, so they spend the most Can you blame them Well, yeah, you can. But maybe it's not a reason that we should hate them more than the Phillies.Heck, the Mets spend money, too Just not as well. Maybe it's more of a constructed, Freudian feeling of insecurity that the Mets have toward the Yankees.I'm not trying to convince anybody, or myself, not to hate the Yankees. I still do and will always because I can't support anyone who trashes the Mets constantly.

But maybe it's rational to say that all the bad stuff the Yankees do justifies rooting against them...as opposed to rooting FOR Shane Victorino.Seriously, you're gonna root for THAT GUY. ) John Madden was quick to release a statement about the sideline happenings at the Jets vs. Raiders game, where Mark Sanchez was seen eating a hot dog on camera.Madden was asked to break what happen down for us."Well see here, it goestotally according to plan until the end. He had everything working right, the mustard and ketchup were all over, and the bun just kept thehot dog from getting anywhere until it was all gone He just could not keep it protected.

That cannot happen and is a result of lack of focus."Thanks Madden!. ) According to Sportsnet.caIlya Kovalchuk is still to have an MRI done be the end of today (Monday), it will determine the extent of the injury Ilya hadreceived in the loss versus San Jose on Saturday.The team is stating that Kovalchuk was hit in the foot with the puck, so far in all replays it looks more like he tweaked his foot or lower leg during an almost knee to knee contact with Sharks' Patrick Marleau.So far X-rays proved negative and the Thrashers are praying the injury is merely a deep bruise that might keep him out of the lineup for around two weeks.Kovalchuk was first in the league with nine goals in eight game, beforeSunday's games. . ) With only a couple of months left until the end of the regular season, my list of the top 25 NCAA quarterbacks is getting more and more interesting I still think Case Keenum deserves to be top guy. I have absolutely no consideration of the teams W-L records and team expectations, but when it comes to Mr Keenum, I guess I will a little bit.
