“T-Rac” the Tennessee Titans’ raccoon-like mascot, rolled over the rookie Saints quarterback Adrian McPherson at the end of the half as he was walking back from the locker to start the 3rd quarter. The mascot rides a a modified golf cart with a bucket seat (pictured).
“He got run over by the mascot,” coach Sean Payton said. “I don’t know what to do. We’ve got to play the Titans. The mascots and all the other stuff going on, it’s crazy.”
“That’s an issue,” Brees said. “They definitely should do something about that. I mean, to get hit by a golf cart on the field by the mascot. I can’t think of anything dumber than that.”
This has got to be the worst injury of the year and the season hasn’t even started…
I believe this is my fourth season of Fantasy Football. I made a short attempt at attending to a Baseball team, but never could handle the depth and span of all the players, stats, games and strategy. And plucking eyelid hairs seems more enjoyable than attempting to manage a Fantasy golf team. Being on the east, I had a slight advantage to be well rested, awake and ready for the noon time draft. This year I got stuck with my worst pick level yet at 8th and its automatic that I won’t see LT, Shaun Alexander, or this year’s top pick Larry Johnson… 
Last weekend we hit a trip into the city of Chicago. I woke up this Friday morning and really just didn’t want to go into work today *cough, Cough*. My woman just happend to be out to Chi-town for work and I hop the first flight out so to get a chance to cruse this new-to-me city for two days. 
Friday was opening night for the MBL Hometown series as the Chicago White Sox were hosting the Cubs. Tickets for the game were sold out months before I even knew of the trip but 
Being at the home town field, we were out for the former Series Champs and they didn’t disappoint. Maddux was flustered all day and the Sox came out on top with a 6 – 1 win over the cubs. I guess the tension was eminent as the follow up game at Wrigley field was a dog fight literally and an altercation at the plate caused the benches to clear. We were at a bar when this incident happened and Chicago lit up with fire, one way or the other… 
After the game there wasn’t much planned so we too to the trains get out downtown and see what happens. We pop out of the Red line at the Chicago to the appearance of a huge tent and blue music filling the streets… A parade? No, but it was the Weber Grill Restaurant – BBQ Block Party. A yearly celebration and firefighter grill cook off, with beers, wine, BBQ and blues for 8 hours. Koko (of “Wang Dang Doodle” fame), Lonnie Brooks and Dave Specter and the Bluebirds featuring Tad Robinson performed. Lonnie Brooks (pictured) was off the hook rocking back n forth on the stick and getting the mildly liquored crowed going. Not bad on the BBQ but the kicker was the great weather and a few local brews for $3 ea.
