Weekly Top 4 "T"s

Tuesday starts with T, you know what else starts with T…

1. Typo in Tampa?
Mike Alstott was honored with a ceremony during halftime of the Tampa Bay Bucs win over the Seattle Seahawks. As you can see, two jerseys were presented to him. But take a close look at the puke orange one on the left.

Ah Ha! A typo… or not.

The misspelling was not actually an error because during Alstott's first season in 1996, his jersey had his name misspelled for each of his first two games before it was finally fixed. Tampa Bay loves to remind the dumbass that misspelled Alstott that he in fact is a dumbass.

2. Tiger Tiger Woods Y’all

What the hell is that?

Although he is still rehabbing from knee surgery (hoping to play again), Tiger Woods made it back to Torrey Pines to film a promotional video for Buick. He caddied for 59-year-old John Abel, who won Buick's “Tee It Up with Tiger” sweepstakes contest.

3. Two For Toronto?
“According to Tuesday's edition of the Globe and Mail, NHL governors have had informal talks about putting a second team in Toronto."

There have been conversations about Jim Balsillie, co-CEO of Ontario based Research in Motion Ltd., being rewarded with an expansion team in Toronto.

"Why shouldn't we put another team in the best and biggest market in the world?" said one governor, who spoke anonymously with the newspaper.

My question is an obvious one: What the hell is this guy thinking? Toronto is not the biggest market in North America.

Two in Toronto, the suicide rate with then double

4. The Tacklin’ SEC Ref



South Carolina quarterback Stephen Garcia was tackled by a referee while he tried to run for a touchdown against LSU.

The umpire in question is Wilbur Hackett Jr. Every person I have talked to says he looked like a Tiger linebacker lining up for the tackle. He stepped up, dropped his shoulder, and laid out the pansy quarterback.

“The SEC office believes Hackett was protecting himself and plans to take no disciplinary action on the veteran official. Rogers Redding, the conference's coordinator of football officials, reviewed the tape of the play and thought it was inadvertent contact. Garcia changes his direction just a tad, which ties up the umpire just a tad and makes it look a lot worse than it really was," SEC spokesman Charles Bloom said.
