Feeling Blue?


Boise State University is offering naming rights for about $10 million to what is currently called Bronco Stadium, recognizable by its blue turf field.

"We've made some presentations out to some individuals and some companies, but we haven't gotten the answers we're looking for yet," said Curt Apsey, senior associate athletic director for advancement. "We're aggressively pursuing that opportunity with a couple people."

Packers Crackers?


If the rumors are true, then Packer fans need to storm the Packer GM's office. Rumor has it that a Packer trade would include Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Raiders wide receiver Randy Moss. Green Bay officials are dismissing the talk, according to a published report.

"It's never been discussed inside the building or outside the building," Green Bay General Manager Ted Thompson told the Green Bay Press-Gazette when asked about the chances of a deal that would include Rodgers.

Why would the Packers trade a young QB and keep Bret Favre who is very good at crying and throwing interceptions. And why would the Packers want a Randy Moss who only plays when he feels like playing?

Can You Say Idiot?


Remember the Mickelson meltdown at the U.S. Open last year? Well, this is what "Lefty" has to say about that.

He told ESPN, "I'd hit driver again. No question. Put me on the 18th hole at Winged Foot, needing par to win, and I'm doing exactly what I tried to do last June: carve a baby slice and chase it down the fairway to set up an iron to the green, two-putt for my first U.S. Open and my third straight major."

Betting Man


Pete Rose was one of the best ball players ever. He unfortunately is not one of the most ethical or truthful human beings ever.

Rose revealed Wednesday that he bet on the Reds "every night" while he was manager of the team. Rose said that he believed in his team so much that he bet on them to win every night. "I bet on my team to win every night because I love my team, I believe in my team," Rose said. "I did everything in my power every night to win that game."

Pea Brain Celebrates

But Does He Own An English Dictionary?


The egotistical Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen now thinks he owns Chicago. Interesting.

His response to questions about whether Chicago is big enough for two managers like Guillen and Lou Piniella shows how big a moron he is. "I own Chicago. Lou doesn't own [anything] yet... A couple days ago, somebody asked me who was more famous in Chicago-Lovie Smith, Mike Ditka, Ozzie or Lou. I said, 'Why do you put Lou here? He hasn't done [anything] yet in Chicago. Why do you look to put Lou in that spot with Ditka, Lovie and Ozzie?"

No one was hurt during the Friday night incident.

"Mr. Jones was here just trying to be a normal customer, trying to bowl" with several others, Franklin police detective Stephanie Cisco said, according to The Tennessean newspaper.
