Manny being Manny


One time, Ramírez laid it all out for Branyan, gave him the whole hitting equation. "He told me that he put 70 percent of his weight on his back foot and 40 percent of his weight on his front foot. And even though I knew the numbers didn't add up, I thought for a second, I've got to try that."

Say it Aint So Joe.....

Trivia time....


What kind of NFL team would change their colors and logo?



The kind that has never appeared in a Super Bowl.


The kind that once had a hard time deciding between Eric Hipple and Gary Danielson.


The kind that forced the greatest running back in league history to retire because they were so bad.


The kind that has honolulu blue splotch on the side of its helmets as its current logo.


The kind that went 0-16 this past season.




The DETROIT LIONS!!!



According to numerous news outlets in the Detroit area, the Lions are considering a logo and color scheme change. One newspaper ever invited fans to come up with a new logo. Some of the entries were pretty cool. Some - like the one drawn by the six-year old - are fitting. There were 75 enteries in the contest. I picked a few out and posted them here to see.

Now all we need is for the SeaDucks to get rid of the Scranton Eagles logo.

The End is Near!!!

If you just read the headlines of our local newspapers you might just think that the end is near. After all, Satan is on his way!!!!


No no no. Not that Satan. Bishop Martino would never allow it.


Miroslav Satan or Suh-TAWN as it is prenounced is joining the Baby Pens after the Pittsburgh Penguins sent him down to the minors.


So fear not, the end really isn't near. That would require the closing of more churches.
