Broncos Training Camp Opens Today ! NBA Free Agent signings start today ! The NHL is in the newspaper again today. The sports world is starting to shape up some….

I know I have mentioned this before but when I work out at 5am I watch TV without any sound. It makes for some frustration and for some amusement. I still don’t know what to thunk about why Martha Stewart and Edgerrin James were on the screen at the same time during ESPN News the other morning and I really don’t need to know why…..

Chacon is coming to the Yanks – order more tickertape……..Al Leiter sure went from “Leits Out” to “Leit Him Up” in a hurry…..the yanks simply don’t have the pitching to carry them into the playoffs but the Red Sox don’t seem to want to kill them off. It is almost like they have to be in a struggle with the yanks to make the season worth playing…..The O’s have tanked and aren’t even a legit wild card threat………the Mets are becoming less of a wild card threat too – you can’t waste 8 innings of pedro on the road with the Astros big guns still waiting in the wings for the next 3 games- of course, Houston may be peaking early and the trade deadline is Sunday…..

The producers over at Access Hollywood must have read my throw away thunk yesterday about whether Nancy O’Dell was pregnant or not – still just a chest up shot this morning but what she was wearing was far too tight to hide a pregnancy – thank you MSNBC…..

The vultures have moved a level closer to the parking lot and another mailroom intern has gone missing………no interesting roadkill this morning – no metaphors for work….I did have a NASCAR moment as I took the big left turn and headed into the long straightaway……

I believe that my Balsamic Corn & Black Bean salad recipe is next on my the request list. That could of course and probably will change by the time I get home…..

Now I know I made fun of Tim McGraw doing a duet with Nelly and I know I was scared of the possibility of J-LO hooking up with Wynonna but Willie Nelson trying to sing Reggae is a laughable crime. I heard & saw the video on VH1 Country the other morning and it was like driving past an accident on the highway – I couldn’t stop myself from watching. I can’t imagine not owning this CD and yet at the same time, I can’t imagine ever listening to it either. I know that Willie likes to smoke some doobies but the record exec who okayed this deal must have been smoking some absolute killer weed………

I have said it before and I will say it again – the chick in Shooter Jennings new video is Smoking Hot!........speaking of hot – Sara Evans is most definitely back in running with her latest video – she hasn’t looked this good since “Perfect”……and does Shania twain ever look bad in a video – she does not seem to age at all – not like Melanie Griffith and Meg Ryan – someone stop these women before they give Jocelyn Wildenstein a run for her money

It may be some time before I get back into a movie theater for an grown up film so all I can hope is that “Wedding Crashers” comes out on DVD real soon……I really don’t have any problem at all seeing Kurt Russell as an aging superhero……..I thunk that John Cusack is a great onscreen representative for guys in their late 30’s and early 40’s…….Diane Lane is great onscreen rep for those ladies in their late 30’s and early 40’s too……

Have I mentioned that Broncos training camp opened today ? Maurice Clarett has signed too. Running back is a position that I really don’t think is a problem spot for the donkeys – Anderson, Bell, Griffin – a strong trio without the rest in camp – Kyle Johnson is going to be an all-pro fullback in the next 2 years…..I still don’t see what Jerry Rice can add to this team other than a few reporters from Geriatric SI…… Champ Bailey better be excited about seeing Randy Moss twice a year now – he certainly didn’t live up to his billing last year – that all pro choice was strictly on reputation last year………I need more time to thunk about Jake – that will come in a single thunk special…….Pre-season football is about to be all over my NFL Network – 55 games in 25 days – morning TV viewing is going to get better……

I know I am repeating myself from yesterday’s one off thunk but this bears repeating, The Living Water Church (www.lwcbuddlake.com) in Hackettstown, NJ had a bible study course last night entitled “Beverly Hillbillies Bible Study: Modern Parables as seen in the TV show” - I had to miss it but I do plan on attending “Sanford & Son Bible Study: The 10 Commandments as seen through the eyes of Fred G. Sanford” and “White Shadow Bible Study with Special Guest the Rev. Dr. Sports Guy – Bill Simmons”………it’s fun to drag your mouse through the water portion of their site too…

The MILF Morning Walker of the Year for 2004 has just won the award again for 2005………peppers and peas are in a slump but the beans and tomatoes are going nuts – new garden locations are being scouted for 2006

Thanks for the 5 minutes of your life that you will never get back – see Peabody and his pet boy, Sherman, for refunds

Remember, we will soon be switching from a tight man to man to a loose zone……
