Actually, T.O. book was written by Drew's brother. I love McNabb's commit that h'se will be doing his own bio, and hopes that it will sit next to T.O.'s, in the children section!

As far as Landis, if he gets his hip replaced next month and wins next year's Tour De France, then he will have earn America's respect (though I think he may alreayd have by winning this year's Tour).

You missed my birthday :(

And on the A-rod home run ball, I hated the whole thing: that he hit a rome run, that it was the only runs scored on AJ Burnett, that two obnoxious (and Canadian, although I'm sure they're planning on changing that) Yankee fans caught it - and then just gave it to him in exchange for an autographed ball.

Personally, I'd have ridden that train to "Getting into the clubhouse and getting A-Rod's jersey signed by all the player"-town... But I don't know if fabric can support that much evil with catching fire.
