Happy Friday the 13th, everybody! I read that 60 million Americans refuse to drive or leave the house on this day. If I believed that it would be depressing. Are you one of those nutcases superstitious people?
[Can't get enough Dolphins? Our midseason poll on the team's biggest problem may be found in the blog post directly below this].
NFL WEEK 10 PICKS: DOLPHINS SLAP LOWLY BUCS: Let me attempt to un-do Tony Sparano's entire week of talks to his team by saying the Dolphins should be overconfident, take Tampa Bay lightly and look past this game. I'm kidding. Sort of. But this is a game in which the Ronnie & Ricky Show will dominate the Bucs' run-defense and Miami will win, 31-3. It's true because I say so. Click on Week 10 Gems for all the latest NFL picks, and on Midyearies four our Friday Page column of midseason awards and more.
DWYANE VS. LEBRON: It was Wade 36, LeBron 34 last night even thought Cleveland won the game. I don't think Dwyane Wade will ever be seen, nationally, as the NBA's greatest player or biggest star. I think the overlapping careers of first Kobe Bryant and then LeBron James have kept that distinction from Miami's No. 3. I may be wrong. At any rate, with James (oh yeah, almost forgot, and Shaq) visiting the Heat, I thought it might be fun to ask in a poll whom Heat fans would rather have: Dwyane or LeBron? Vote and say why. Click here for the column by me on the possibility the Heat will have both next season. I think it is Pat Riley's dream to try to make it happen. Do you think it can?
MIAMI CALIENTE BACK IN ACTION: The Miami Caliente, our Lingerie Football League team, is back in action tonight/Friday at the Sunrise arena. I know this because Tina Caccavale (#11, pictured) personally told me in an email. I have a long-standing policy of publicizing and trying to promote in any way I can events involving women who look like this in lingerie. The LFL is struggling for acceptance despite billing itself as the "true" fantasy football. I would offer the league another selling-point motto: "Lingerie Football: Where Wardrobe Malfunctions Are Encouraged!" Or, here's another one: "Lingerie Football: Where the Touchdowns Are Not Nearly As Exciting As Watching Players Slap Each Other On the A-- After the Touchdowns."
STEVE PHILLIPS' MISTRESS BREAKS SILENCE: Brooke Hundley, the mistress of fired ESPN analyst Philanderin' Steven Phillips, appears on Good Morning America. Click here for video. Aside to Steve: When planning your next affair. make a mental note to at least make it a hottie.
CHIMP-ATTACK VICTIM REVEALS FACE: Click here for story and video. WARNING: Do not click to watch video without knowing the woman's face was badly disfigured in the attack.
THE PETA NUDIE ADS JUST KEEP ON COMIN'!: I love making fun of PETA and its nudie ads. Love the whole idea that the group has developed the thoroughly illogical leap that nothing says you support animal rights like getting nekkid. The latest ad pictured here stars Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez and his wife, who evidently would rather go nude than wear fur. Me? I certainly would rather see her go nude than wear fur. Him, I'd prefer to see wearing fur.
I AM NOT QUITE SURE...: ...how this guy fares in job interviews. Although I would think he at least has a fighting chance at Benihana's.
