TAMMY SAID JOEY LIKES ELLEN by Steve T

Reading and hearing about Brett Farve calling Cowboy QB Tony Romo after it was announced he's out a month with a pinkie injury and telling him if he can play, he should. Seriously? This is sports news? How far removed is this from passing notes in homeroom? Brett might like jeans that are tough, but he apparently has a fondness for gossip and piling up cell phone minutes. I guess the right thing to do is just ignore this crap, but without the ability to publicly vent, I'm a step away from a freaking aneurysm(I googled the spelling so don't). Okay, I'm better.
No one will cop to their penchant for being wrong when it comes to picking football games. Baseball is a different story. If you've paid attention recently, I've been taking people deep. Nailed Wakefield and the Bosox getting punished on Tuesday. Had Philly with Cole Hamels wrapping the LA series last night. Gotta say my online betting account is as high as it's been since I sent it home on the Giants over Pats in the last Super Bowl. I'm leaning towards Dice-kay and the Sox sending this thing back to St. Pete, but not yet. Have to decide if Scotty Kazmir will rebound, focus and handle this Boston line-up. Stay tuned.
Speaking of gambling. My dad and his buddies used to call games that looked obvious a "trick bag". You look at Green Bay hosting the Colts. Indy punished a really good Ravens defense last week as Manning heals up and gets back in synch with a revitalized Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne and their outstanding #3, Anthony Gonzalez and that stud TE Dallas Clark. The Pack have beaten no one and are struggling stopping the pass. The betting line opened with Indy just a point, but has grown to 2 1/2. Perhaps it's because top back Joseph Addai is out with a hammy or the fact the game is at Lambeau. Either way it looks too good. Your thoughts?? Go Rays!
