Eli Mannning had a great game against Tampa Bay. I don't think I've ever seen a NFL QB range from being so terrible to actually being on the level of Jeff Garcia or Phillip Rivers. True, he's no Peyton or Brady, but his play over the last two games elevated him to upper echelons of the QBs in the league. Not to mention, the play calling of the Giatns was actually effective; for once Tom Coughlin didn't look confused. The Giants have a shot against the Cowboys, now that TO is questionable at best. Without him, the Cowboys were terrible in their last two games of the season. I'm already counting down the days for that rivalry.

Roger Clemens's 60 Minutes interview? Well, let's see - injecting vitaim B-12,was it? Interesting, given the fact that Clemens has called this trainer a liar, while Andy Pettite verified the trainer's testimony against him. What I find most amusing, is that the trainer e-mailed Clemens two days before the report, asking where "their" fishing equipment as in Cabo San Lucas, and Clemens apparently didn't know what was in the report.

The Michigan v. Florida game was the best bowl so far, hands down. Henne actually played like a 1st round draft pick, and the game came down the last few minutes. Florida will be at the top next year, now that Tebow has to return, since he wasn't out of high school for three years.

Georgia beat a woeful Hawaii, and then every player proceeded to state that their team belonged in the national championship. They apparently wore black jerseys because they were angry at their bowl pick. Really? Surprising, since they didn't even make the SEC championship. Maybe they should go play USC if they are so good - Let's see how they do there. What's even worse, Georgia has requested an "8-team playoff" to ensure the "right teams" make it to championship. Not surprisingly, TV is behind it for obvious revenue reasons, though I wonder how the BCS feels about this.

LSU beat up on OSU, big surprise: Sorry, Big 10 Football is ineffective agains a.) a spread offense like Oregons (Michigan) or LSU's b.) or a West Coast Offense similar to what's in the Pros (look what USC did to Illinois. The simple reason. Running the football will eventually score TDs, but not at the rate of a mobile passing game. Speaking of USC, it looks like Pete Carrol may be going to the Atlanta Falcons. Why? That program is in worse shape than the Florida Marlins.

Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal all advanced past the 3rd round of the FA cup, but Liverpool drew against Luton, of all things. I espically loved that the Man U game was pay per view on Comcast, which no bar in New York City carries, even Nevada's.

Oh yes, almost forgot:Britney Spears's breakdown. Can't wait for next week's Soup, oh wait, the writers' strike is still going on. I'd like to know what that "unknown substance" was that she was supposedly under the influence of. In those pictures she certainly looked like she was having fun.

Caught the Iowa Caucus the other night too...it was the most boring thing I have ever seen in my life. There was all this build up about how neither party could pick a clear winner, In New York City, all of these supposed supporters, completer with slick jeans and facial hair, replete with mock straw hats and corn pipes, were heading to parties around the cities at various posh lounges.

Let me be the first one to say - GAY. This so called vote means NOTHING. Only 260,000 people were turning out to vote, and guess what, the media front runners at that moment won - Obama and Huckabee. Why would you go out in NYC to celebrate, unless you were a complete tool, right? Actually, the channel that carried this game, showed these "parties," and there were no girls visible in the crowds. Where was I (before you ask)? Out watching the Va Tech game with friends, getting retarded. The funny part is that amid those table-toppers (beer bongs) and the infinitely funner crowd, as the results flashed across the score board below, there was a collective "who cares" was heard accross the place.

Seriously, who cares...
