Pussycat dolls, football and basketball

Writing for the first time in over a month I wanted to tackle a few lighter issue. First of all if you have been following the Pussycat Dolls career as closely as I have you noticed they followed their first hit "Don't Cha" (translated Don't you) with "Stickwitu" (Sitck with you). Now bad grammar aside I am a little confused about the Dolls stance on relationships. Do they want to have raw relations with someone else's boyfriend, or do they want to stick by their man in a committed relationship. Is the person they want to Stickwit the guy they stole from the other girl with their slutty offerings of freaky sex. This is what keeps me up at night.

The Eagles have earned their Philadelphia label this year by being an unreliable team that makes everybody tear their hair out, but it is worse because they are the eagles and actually have high expectations unlike any other Philly team. McNabb is moving like a fat middle age man with hemorroids, and T.O. won't catch anything within 20 yards. T.O. has also given Westbrook moving and contractual advice that seems to be more pertinent each week. Every game they look flat 3/4 of the game and look like a Super Bowl team 1/4 of the game. That 1/4 was enough to beat San Diego, Kansas City, Oakland, and blow out San Fran. But each team they beat has similar problems with inconsistency as the Eagles. If the Eagles want a chance against the division they need to play whole games, but they almost can't. The times the team comes together is when McNabb is playing well, but no one in the world has enough strength to battle a hernia among other injuries to overcome the pain for a whole game. Reid just won't run the ball a significant amount to let McNabb save his strength and avoid taking hits. McNabb should not be throwing the ball more than 25 or 30 times a game, and Westbrook and Gordon should run 20 or 25 times a game. But we all know this will end Philly style so stayed tuned.

Saints owner Tom Benson is getting some attention for shoving a cameraman and a fan while leaving the stadium. I was glad to see the NFL won't punish him, because if any owner deserves a free pass it's him. His city and stadium were devastated by a hurricane just before the season. He has to play all his games in San Antonio and Baton Rouge and their first game was a home game on the opponents field. He realized there won't be a fan base in New Orleans for a while and he had to discuss the idea of moving his team to another city. And his team is 2 and 6 and three games behind every other team in the division. He is clearly very stressed out and since camera people have no souls they don't give a shit and try to film him after a loss.

My NBA championship prediction right now are the Pacers and hopefully I will get a preview out in the next couple days.
