• Loved the Drew Bledsoe Cowboy helmet behind easy Ed Werder in his live shot from Cowboy HQ.
• Berman’s getting tips from cab drivers again. Good tips, in fact. I get tips from MBPB and they all stink. No offense, MBPB.
• Nice work by Mike Fine of the Patriot Ledger in going with Ricky Davis as Sixth Man of the Year. As he noted, Ricky won’t be winning it, but he should be. But Ricky is getting Jim Riced. . . Fellow Ledgerian, Eric McHugh finished a strong Draft Notebook on Saturday with a mini-look at the 255th pick, which is held by new England at this point. The chance to again pick Mr. Irrelevant is always a good Day Two angle and one that always bears watching. . . Yes, we invested the buck-fifty in the weekend Ledger in order to bring you the most comprehensive Blog possible. Above and freaking beyond, I tell ya. A and f’in B.
• It appears the Bob Ryan, Nomar story is picking up steam over the weekend, which is only odd because usually stories die over the weekend. We’ll venture to guess it pops up on “Sports Reporters” Sunday morning, regardless of who the panel is.
• There is, according to Friday’s Wall Street Journal, a Kosher for Passover Viagara, which means Rabbis everywhere will be having unleavened bread to go with leavened. . . well, you get the idea.
• Mike Tice was able to appear on the ESPN beer-sponsored Video Conference, but only after he finished selling his Draft Day Party tickets outside the building. Kidding. Ticket scalping joke instead of a Pope Joke – you lose either way.
• Mah neesh tah-na? Why on this night do we draft for three rounds and the rest of the week no rounds?
• Guess the rumors of Travis Ford having a Juco stashed away are true, as the dubious level’s third-leading scorer, James Light, has reportedly signed with the Minutemen out of Manatee JC in Bradenton. With two years of eligibility, Light will likely leave just around the same time Ford does. . . Maybe we should be a bit nicer to the alma mater – they did invite us to an Honors dinner. ‘Bout time they honor Scott’s Shots for being the nation’s longest-running, non-continuous, student-paper column in existence. . . Which reminds us, we had occasion to bestow a belated Scrunchie Queen of the Week on one of the Collegian-bred Monahan Girls a couple of Tuesdays back. In fairness to both of the fabulous Monahan sisters, let’s say it’s the one who knows a guy named Cuttah Gahsha. But they’re both Scrunchie Queens in our book.
