More Fact or Fiction

- The Steve Smith "diaper change and wipe" was the most disgusting endzone celebration ever- Fact

Quite repulsive and somewhere Joe Buck's eyes are bleeding.

- The Brewers have one of the toughest bullpens in the league- Fact

Dan Kolb will regain his 2004 form now that he is back with Mike Maddux, and pairing him with Matt Wise and Derrick Turnbow means that Brewer starters will only have to go 6 innings at the most and then turn over a lead to the bullpen and the game will pretty much be over. I am quite pleased with this trade, Obermueller for Kolb, that is a no brainer, and it makes the Brewers that much stronger. Now if only they could get a starting pitcher for Lyle Overbay.

- Manny Ramirez will be playing somewhere other than Boston at the start of next season- Fiction

I was on the fence about this one until I talked to Gaddis and since he thinks Manny will remain in Boston, so do I. Gaddis is like Peter Gammons and Jayson Stark rolled into one super baseball guru to me, so I believe what he says. Seriously though, Boston would need too much in return to actually trade Manny and no one is going to be able to give them 130-150 rbi per season to replace Manny's numbers.

- Juan Pierre instantly makes the Cubs better- Fact

He is the leadoff hitter and speed on the bases they desperately needed. Having someone who can get on base in front of Derrick Lee will mean more runs for the team, which they are going to need. Pierre makes the team better, but they still need a left handed hitter with power who is also hopefully a right fielder, they could use another starter because no one trusts Kerry Wood, and they could also use another outfielder to backup Matt Merton, Juan Pierre, and whoever will be playing right field.

- Duke will beat Texas on Saturday- Fiction

I went into this a little bit yesterday, but after watching Duke/Penn tonight, I know Duke isn't good enough to beat Texas in Austin.

- Thursday night is back on NBC- Fact

With "The O.C." slipping on my radar recently with a string of "okay" episodes and a season which has been a little below par, the move in January of "My name is Earl" and "The Office" to the NBC Thursday night lineup will re-establish the network as the place to be on the night before the weekend.

- Folding laundry is one of the most boring things in the world- Fact

I don't even think I need to explain this one.

- When there's nothing else to talk about or discuss, we can always fall back on three things; The BCS, the Colts quest for 16-0, and T.O.- Fact

These are the things that are talked about everyday on ESPNRadio by everyone. Somedays it is all three, somedays it is one of three, but everyday you can hear about these topics on ESPNRadio. Here's the thing; the BCS is flawed and always will be even though they think they got it right this year (which is a whole column in itself) but still didn't, and it will never be changed as long as the money is still there, the Colts could go 16-0 and if they do will be a team for the ages, but let's just wait until they actually do it to talk about it anymore, and T.O. is an idiot, plain and simple.

- Until next time...
