LANDIS' MOM LESS SUPPORTIVE THAN IRS AUDITOR

Controversial Tour de France winner Floyd Landis' mom said she was "disappointed" in results showing her son had increased testosterone in his system. Jeff sez: Mind you, this is before her son even had a chance to answer the accusations and well before any official appeals. Nice. The US Cycling Federation was more supportive than mom. That's gonna make for a tense little Landis Family Thanksgiving this year.

NAME ONE PLAYER ON THE DETROIT TIGERS!

The Detroit Tigers have the best record in baseball and a ten-game lead in the American League Central heading into the stretch run.Jeff sez: What is Jim Leyland smoking besides three truckfulls of Lucky Strikes he hijacked in 1979 and stored in a gigantic barn somewhere in rural Pennsylvania? He may be the best manager in the history of the game and certainly manager of the year this season... Although Ron Gardenhire of the Twins gets a little love for dragging that ball club out of the swamp in June and into contention.

BUSH SIGNS WITH SAINTS

Standout running back Reggie Bush has agreed to a six-year, $51-million-dollar deal with the New Orleans Saints. Jeff sez: And I'm buying Dockers at Costco. Then again, I would literally break my body right in half trying to tackle Bush. Snap it at the tummy, blood everywhere. And then, I couldn't even shop at Costco. So I say knock yourself out, Reg. That's one city that deserves some good news.
