Dom's Dish - Tuesday, March 27, 2007
I know, I'm double-dipping here - 2 dishes in 2 days! What are you crazy Dominic? I have to take 5 minutes out to read this sh!*??? Yeah, that's right, I timed myself while slowly reading yesterday's edition - 5 minutes 4 seconds.
Anyway, I kinda rushed getting the dish done yesterday to do real work, after my lunch hour and missed out on a few key points that my boss yelled at me for - and if by boss, I mean Mrs. Dom's Dish. First, Peyton Manning. I know, I read through many of my dishes in the past few months and maybe I am on his 'jaun' or however they say it, but he's Peyton Manning! Mrs. Dom's Dish wishes she were married to him and often asks if since he's from the South, might he be a polygamist. Just 'cuz I'm not 6-foot-five, with a laser, rocket arm....
Peyton hosted "SNL" on Saturday night. I was probably one of the few of you awake, but only lasted about a half hour. The opening monologue was pretty funny - he had a few good lines, but I wanted more. Then they cut to "commercial". If you haven't seen it yet, it is worth the 2-3 minutes of your viewing pleasure - the United Way commercial: http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/#mea=84993
I love Peyton Manning too!
More football. I knew I was missing something yesterday - I heard something over the weekend about the possibility and forgot to mention: Takeo Spikes is now a Philadelphia Eagle. I called it last week - Darwin Walker is gone too - contract to expire at end of 2008. As soon as it was reported the Eagles were in talks for Spikes, and knowing Dick Jauron in Buffalo trying to copy the Eagles' style of building through the Offensive and Defensive lines, this is a good deal for both teams. Little did I know that Kelly Holcomb got thrown in there too! Now, don't go waving your pickle yet, Browns fans, Holcomb, the former Cleveland Brown and "god" for some fans at Savoy's Boilermaker Bar in Hamilton that used to wave their pickles at the TV - no like real actual dill pickles - may still have some left in the tank. With Feeley and Holcomb in the fold, expect it to be a toss-up before the regular season starts if McNabb is not ready to go. As for Spikes - he's 2 years removed from a gruesome Achilles injury. What do I think, Cougar Wright? I love it. Good move all around - Spikes can still be an impact player on and off the field. The Birds have more LBs on their roster than John Goodman has above his waist! Spikes is a proven leader, and having he, Trotter, Dawkins, Montae Reagor and even Dhani ("Donnie") Jones on the roster will take the defense one step closer to developing all the young talent they have. Looking at the roster now, my gut for the draft next month will be to take these positions: OG, DT, CB, S, TE, and maybe a RB and a QB. I'll work on some projections in the coming weeks before I release my draft issue of the Dish.
Last but not least, "Comedian Griffin wrecks $1.5M Ferrari at track" - Eddie Griffin of -Undercover Brother- (on DVD) and Miller Lite commercial fame, was practicing for a role in a movie in which he got to drive an actual Ferrari Enzo. A little too fast into the corner and wham! "Undercover Brother's good at karate and all the rest of that, but the brother can't drive," Griffin said after the accident. That's it - laugh it off. I'm sure the owner of the car, Daniel Sadek is crushed just like the front end. His "dream car" he referred to it.
Sorry folks, no Around the Balls today, go get outside and get some air!
Time to un-pause DMB - "Under the Table and Dreaming" for a few more minutes while the windows and doors are open airing out the house.

For those new to "the dish", I once dreamed of being a sports-caster having my own column. Let me know if you don't like it, and/or want to be discontinued from the list. If you have another email address to send it to, send that to me also. For older issues of the dish, email me. domsdish@gmail.com or go to http://domsdish.blogspot.com
