Monday Morning Reading

It's Monday, I'm not any more excited about it than you are. Before we get started, if you've got a link, a tip, or a rant about how we suck, please feel free to send it sportsidiots@gmail.com, the less work I have to do, the better.

In NFL news NOT having to do with Brett Favre (have you heard he wants to come back?) Jaguars wide receiver Matt Jones' father says he's innocent and in a completely related development, I'll be moving to Arkansas to start selling real estate, there's at least one guy down there I'm pretty sure is interested in some prime swampland.

Speaking of criminal wide receivers, Chris Henry, in addition to not being good at a little thing called following the law, also has proven that he's no money manager.

If you are at a water park whatever happens, DO NOT cut in front of Odell Thurman in line, it will end badly.

Switching over to baseball news, this red sox nation video is so bad I almost think it was made by a Yankee fan because even Red Sox fans aren't this retarded........but something tells me it's real.

The Mets are on fire, the Yankees can't hit, and Big Papi is on his way back.

A little thing called the All Star game is coming up and My Sports Rumors has named Willie Mays as the all time all star MVP.

In Syracuse news, Texan Mark over on the scout board found this one, Vegas has put the over/under on the number of wins the football team hits this year at 2.5 - which seems about right.

The Connecticut Post goes out on a limb and predicts that anything could happen this year in Big East football, gee, thanks for that.

Sir Charles Barkley golfs the way he gambles........not good.

And finally, in news that will make every basketball fan who isn't deaf happy, Billy Packer is done at CBS - we'll have more on this a little later, right now I'm bracing for all the "he was a great broadcaster" BS that comes with a move like this. People love revisionist history.
