First, a reminder that the Week 18 1993 Cowboys/Giants game will be on NFL-N tomorrow night. This game is best known for Emitt Smith playing with a separated shoulder. It's one of the few "Triplets era" Cowboys games that I truly enjoy watching as i've seen it before.

secondly, this is for people that keep saying the Raptors and the Toronto market isn't very good blah blah blah. Forbes recently did their annual NBA franchise valuations and the Raptors are ranked 11th with a value of 400 million dollars. If the Toronto market isn't a good basketball market then how the hell is the team worth so much money huh huh? The Raptors also have one of the highest ticket revenues in the league as well so I don't know how so many of my fellow OS'ers have this jaundiced view of the franchise.

Last but not least, the Blue Jays are pissing me off royally. They've reportedly signed Matt Clement to a minor league deal with an invite to spring training and are now looking at signing Carl Freakin' Pavano! What next? Are we gonna take Mike Sirotka out of mothballs and sign him too?

"sigh"

Speaking of classic NFL games, ESPN will be broadcasting "The Greatest Game Ever Played", i.e. the Giants vs the Colts in the 1958 NFL Championship, immediately following the Heisman Trophy Presentation this Saturday. My dad still believes that Johnny Unitas was the best quarterback to ever step onto an NFL field, so I'll be watching to see how good the guy actually was.
