THE SPORT HOT NEWS

Halloween.....personally ...my least favorite Holiday. Talking about waisting money...You buy candy ....just to give it away? To a bunch of thankless kids?

The Los Angeles Dodgers really messed up the Grady Little situation. Now they are calling it a mutual agreement to part company. When it was evident that Joe Torre was available......they had to get rid of Little.....to hire Torre. Even though, at season's end they declared Grady's job was secure....what a mess.

The Atlanta Falcons need to sell 3000 remaining tickets by 1pm Thursday to avoid an NFL blackout on Sunday's game with San Francisco. The ATL has had 57 consecutive sell-outs since Arthur Blank bought the team. I think he and his massive ego will buy the tickets just to save himself from the embarrassment. The Vick-less Falcons are a pathetic bunch.

Folks are still talking about Georgia's excessive endzone celebration during the Georgia-Florida game.....get over it....the kids had fun.....the dawgs won....and all was good in Jacksonville. Note to Bulldogs.....Beware of Troy....that's a dangerous team --- with a lot a athletes and speed.

And finally ......the experts say that the ATL has only about 180 days of water left.... So....no showers, no flushing, no washing clothes , no nothin'.......and please .....if you have to pee .... try to miss the flower garden.

Every body's jumping in on the Joe Torre thing. It was like a funeral today on WFAN's afternoon drive of "Mike & the Mad dog. The two-some -- along with their callers were crucifying the Yankees for running Joe out of town. ......Huh????? Am I missing something here? Torre, already the highest paid manager in all of baseball, was offered a one year contract -- with bonus incentives -- that had a base salary of 5 million -- with the potential to earn 8 million -- if the Yankees got to the World Series. Of course......feeling totally dissed ....and unappreciated, Mr. Torre turned down the offer. Helloooo!!!! Joe.....remember when you were just an also-ran manager of the New York Mets, the Atlanta Braves, and the Saint Louis Cardinals??? Your record with those teams was an unimpressive 894 wins and 1103 losses.
You then parlayed a successful broadcasting stint into becoming the manager of the best team money can buy. Money!!!! Torre always started the season a leg up on the competition -- the Yankees always has.....and always will have the highest payroll in baseball. How arrogant of Joe to think the 12 straight post season appearances was all his doing.........I applaud the Yankees for calling his bluff. And .....Yanks.....feel free to "insult" me ....any time.

Check out Torre's career Managerial record .

After a looooong day.....I'm spent. So......no pictures, images or videos today -- just me -- rambling.

Is Oprah getting fat or what? Just caught a piece of Entertainment Tonight....and it looks like she needs to visit a salad bar or 2.

Atlanta is getting a new WNBA franchise.....not to sound shovenistic......but....who cares? The 32 WNBA fans in Georgia? And what to call this new team? We have enough birds -- Falcons, Hawks, and Thrashers......Could we be getting the Atlanta Buzzards ? No, I think not. Let's go with a music rich Georgia legacy........The Atlanta Soul!

Deal or No Deal is still the stupidest show on TV........How about a challenge.....or at least make the contestants have ....half a brain?

I think it's a shame the way the Yankee brass is playing the Joe Torre situation. Make a decision.... Don't leave the man hanging.

Make that 4 days in a row -- as in T.I. making the front page of the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

Michael Vick is being sued by yet another bank.....This time it's Wachovia going after Mike for a million plus. Will this sad saga ever end.
