Around the Horn

Brian Griese threw it up 67 times in Sunday’s game. (38-67, 407)
Says very little for the running game for Tampa Bay, says a lot for the prestigious Michigan Wolverines pedigree for QB’s

Former Michigan QB Tom Brady is my early season MVP candidate.
After watching New England play, Brady hasn’t even played a full quarter and is out for the year and clearly he is the most valuable to his team.

The Mets, after last years collapse or choke job or whatever you want to call it look like they want to make it an annual event.
Sure it isn’t of historic proportions as it was last year but they seem to be trying to do everything in their power to give it away again. As a Braves fan, I will watch and enjoy.

Kyle Busch was dominant in Dover Nationwide race
Kyle Busch was first eliminated in Dover Sprint Cup race with engine failure.
Looks like Kyle chose the wrong race as he has dug himself into a hole in the Chase Championship that will be tough to get out of...No, No, dig up stupid!

Yankee Stadium saw its last game on Sunday.
Did anyone else think that it was a little odd and frankly unjust that it was a game involving the Baltimore Orioles and not the Boston Red Sox?

Blues defenseman Erik Johnson suffered a knee injury. Johnson is a promising young defenseman and high prospect. He was attempting to stop his golf cart and step out to hit his next shot when he jammed his right foot between the accelerator and brake.
This would never happen to a Toronto Maple Leafs player as they have had more then enough practice on the golf course after missing the playoffs the last 3 years.

John Ferguson Junior has been hired as pro scout director in San Jose
Yes, that sound you just heard was Joe Thornton flipping pages looking for that opt-out clause in his contract

Classless - Even for New York
In a stunningly shameful move the Mets fired manager Willie Randolph , at 3:12 a.m. Eastern, with a press release after a game they had won, a day into a western road trip. The only things that was right about how they did this was that they didn’t do it on Fathers day. I am not a Willie Randolph fan and being a Braves fan, pretty much hate the Mets but that is one disgraceful move and a horribly unprofessional one.
Should Willy have been fired? Yes, his record was not good, he didn’t run the team well and was the head of a team that suffered the greatest collaps in baseball last year. Even still, he is a man and a pro and should have been treated as such. I once thought that Omar Minaya was a stand-up guy, but the Mets organization has made him look bad and have put him in a tough spot. Ownership is ultimately responsible for the way a team conducts its business and if that is how they treat their employees.

In the You Gotta Be Kidding Me! quote section, Mike Musina had this to say about AL pitchers. "...we run in straight lines most of the time. Turning corners, you just don’t do that."
What is this Zoolander? Cant turn left? Not an ambi-turner? Maybe should have just let this one slide Mike.
