The reason why....

You have writers "making stuff up" as complained about in the previous post is because otherwise they would have to fill up their columns with some of the below crap....

Wade Phillips sat inside Jerry Jones' home for roughly an hour Thursday, noshing on tortilla soup, lobster tacos and hamburgers after a flight on a private jet from San Diego earlier in the morning. Quietly, Phillips and the Cowboys owner moved to a private room, where the two hammered out the final details of a contract.-- Dallas Morning News

I now feel so much more enlighted about what to expect out of Wade Phillips as a head coach. Knowing that he had dinner for an hour, ate tortilla soup, lobster tacos and hamburgers (does that strike anyone else as a bit of a strange meal to serve a guy you're trying to sign to a contract, lobster fine, but lobster tacos? and hamburgers?, Where's the steak?). The biggest disappointment I have about this post is the lack of information of what beverage was served. Wine I hope? If so, what particular wine was served. These are things I need to know when reading the sports section of my newspaper.

Speaking of things I need to know.....

Bears quarterback Rex Grossman was seen getting over Sunday's Super Bowl loss, in the company of Bunnies Cerra, April and Michelle on Wednesday night at the Playboy Club in the Palms.-- Las Vegas Review-Journal

I'm so much more confident in Grossman going forward as the QB of Bears, knowing that he was able to get over what could have been a life-ruining, devastating loss to the Colts. Thank goodness for the Playboy Bunnies to make sure that Grossman did not enter some self-destructive depressive cycle, beating himself up for the horrible game he played.

Finally...

Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart is bringing some of his Hollywood vibe to Chandler. Leinart, the former USC star and Heisman Trophy winner, paid $2.3 million for a nearly 5,400-square-foot house in the upscale Ocotillo area of south Chandler. He bought in a gated lakeside spot called Oakwood Hills that's big on greenery, water and large, expensive homes.-- Arizona Republic

???? Why is this important to me????? Its definitely that time of year again.
