Who needs tickets?

I’ll be live blogging today about what I’m doing and things I think about sports. Enjoy! Remember to keep checking in throughout the day as I update the blog with more tidbits.

11:02 a.m. - Willie Parker broke his leg. I’d say the Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl hopes are now ruined, but they were ruined a long time ago when Tomlin decided to make Pittsburgh a pass-first, run-second team. Sidenote: Pettey and I picked Willie Parker with the 6th pick in our fantasy draft and got mocked for passing on Frank Gore. As always, we were right.

11:12 a.m. - They just showed a hockey highlight on Sportscenter in the first 15 minutes. That’s ridiculous. Hockey belongs at the end with off-season golf, European basketball, and a rant from Sean Salisbury.

11:23 a.m. - So Jonathan Papelbon claims that the ball he had from the final out in the World Series got “eaten by his dog”. I find it shocking that anyone actually believes this. If anyone in that house ate the ball, it was probably Papelbon himself.

11:31 a.m. - 31 minutes into Sportscenter until Jessica Simpson got mentioned. God I hate this story. She has nothing to do with the Dallas Cowboys and Tony Romo’s performance on the field. However, there is a gambling website where you can bet on how long the Simpson/Romo relationship will last. 6 to 1 odds that it’s over within the next 3 months. Pettey put his Christmas bonus on it.

12:20 p.m. - On ESPN 2’s “First and 10″, the two debaters were asked a question: “Which injury hurt’s his team more - Jeremy Shockey’s or Willie Parker’s?”  Skip Bayless gave a truly insightful answer with one word, “Neither.”  What???  That doesn’t even make sense.
