Random Notes - October 25, 2000
- The Dolphins had given up 58 points in 27 quarters entering the 4th
quarter of Monday's game vs the Jets. They gave up 30 in the 4th quarter.
- Given the strange way Jets games have ended this season, one must wonder
if the team has incriminating evidence against each of their opponents.
Bill Parcells might be in Doug Flutie's bushes with binoculars and a camera as we speak.
- I calculated each baseball team's wins per million dollars in salary. The best ratio was
the Twins (4.18). The best playoff teams were the A's (2.85) and the ChiSox (2.76). The Yankees
were the worst (0.86) followed by the Dodgers (0.95). I rather have a three year baseball strike
than put up with this for another minute.
- The Raiders are about ready for their annual collapse. Since 1995, they
have started the season 8-2, 4-4, 3-4, 6-2 and 4-3 and finished 0-6, 3-5,
1-8, 2-6 and 4-5. That's 25-15 early and 10-30 late.
- My new excuse for everything I do wrong -- "I was throwing it to the batboy."
- Apparently Tim Couch was dating Playmate of the Year Heather Kozar until he introduced her -
and lost her - to Bears QB Cade McNown. Now Couch has two reasons to be criticized for "not
living up to Kozar standards." This gives new meaning to "Quarterback Challenge."
- ESPN obviously understands that they can't compete with a New York/New York World Series.
Tonight's "We Give Up Wednesday" programming includes: Halloween on Ice, Incredible Dog Challenge,
Sumo Wrestling, a World's Strongest Man Marathon and Billiards.
- The Red Sox, Blue Jays, A's, Mariners and Mets should all boycott future
dealings with the Cleveland Indians. Had Cleveland not traded Justice to the
Yankees (for nothing I might add), the Yanks would have finished third in AL
East and would not be making life miserable for everyone else. Plus, the
Indians may have screwed themselves out of a Wild Card spot in the process.
- Bill Clinton received credit for the economic resurgence of the last 7-8
years, while George Bush took the fall for the bad economy of the late
80s/early 90s even though it was mostly the result of the cyclical nature
of the economy. I'm now starting to get the sinking feeling that the
positive economic cycle will end just in time for George W. to be blamed for it.
- Apparently Sony's Playstation 2 is so hot that stores have been taking
advance orders for 8 months. The game consoles are in stores tomorrow but
not everyone who wants one will get one right away. I'm sure Sony will
remedy the situation before the unthinkable happens and some unfortunate kid plays outdoors.
- The euro fell to 83 cents against the dollar today. At this rate, it won't be long before
that money will be sitting in a box between the Chance Cards and the deed for Baltic Avenue.
