Josh Q. Public: Share your knowledge. It’s a way to achieve immortality. -Dalai Lama
Public Knowledge: 
1. Meet the Mets, meet the Mets. Step right up and greet the Mets. Bring your kiddies, bring your wife. Guaranteed to have the time of your life. Oh boy! Jimmy Rollins doesn’t look so silly anymore: “The Mets had a chance to win the World Series last year. Last year is over. I think we are the team to beat in the NL East, finally.” Remember that? Now, with one embarrassing loss after another, the Mets’ first-place lead in the NL East has completely vanished. Voila. Three games to go. Three games to go and they’re tied with the Phillies. The Fighting Phills. Three games to go and Jimmy Rollins is looking more right every day.
2. First off, I’m no soccer fan. Secondly, women’s soccer? That being said, this story is everywhere. Savoir Faire is everywhere! Hope Salo should have started that game. Hope Salo should have kept her mouth shut. You do not disparage your team in public. No matter how right you may be.
3. Speaking of keeping your mouth shut. Hey Tiki. We get it. Enough.
4. Sox Yankees. Yankees Sox. Can we start the playoffs now? I just can’t wait.
5. St. Reggie time is here. St. Reggie time is now. St. Reggie has been high flying. Electrifying. Death defying. Apple Pying. He has also been inconsistent. Deuce is gone now. It’s up to St. Reggie now. Running out of the backfield. Catching the ball in the flat. Reversing field on an end-around. Whatever. It’s up to St. Reggie to become the Saints’ driving force on offense. The time is now:
6. Barry Bonds. If you’re a veteran team on the cusp of winning something, do you want this cat in your clubhouse? If you’re a young rebuilding team, do you want this cat in your clubhouse? The only place I see this dude going is a middling team going nowhere. Even then, do you want this cat in your clubhouse? Maybe no one signs him. Wouldn’t that be something?
7. Whenever I see Lakers fans asking, “Would you trade Odom for Marion?”, I have to laugh. I have to laugh, because I’ve outsmarted even myself. My enemy, my foe, is an animal. In order to conquer the animal, I have to learn to think like an animal. And, whenever possible, to look like one. I’ve gotta get inside this guy’s pelt and crawl around for a few days. I have to laugh because of course the answer is yes. Odom is a bum and the Suns would be fools to make that deal. Fools I say. The same goes for AK47. Shawn Marion is the most unsung player in the NBA not named Paul Pierce. Without him the Suns go nowhere.
8. I know I’m a homer. No question about it. But still. Are these New England Patriots the scariest team you’ve ever seen? The scariest there’s ever been? Wanna know what’s scarier? Huh? Do ya? Wait ’till Seymour and Harrison get back. Oh my!
9. Michael Vick. Stupid. Stupid like a fox. It seems he found a loophole. If you can show you had a substance abuse issue one year prior to entering custody, you can get up to one year knocked off your federal sentence. My goodness. Vick could qualify for this loophole because he failed his recent drug test. Like my main man Yakov Smirinov always says: What a country!
10. Hey ladies. Here’s the guy for you. Roy Williams. The Legend. I am cheap, I’m a cheap date. Get you some McDonalds, with some cheese on it and I’m just really cheap, man. I’m very low key, I like to stay home. I like to go bowling on Monday nights and I go to the casino every once and awhile. Other than that, you won’t see Mr. Williams out at all.
Peace out homies. Six Two and Even!
Colorado Rockies. And unlike the Who, I can explain. The Rockies are trying to win this thing. Doing everything they can to win this thing. They just won ten straight. Won a franchise-record ten straight to keep themselves tied with the Phillies. Tied with the Fighting Phills a mere one game back of the Padres in the Wild Card. But that’s not enough. Not enough stuff. They want it all. They want the Marshmallow Fluff. Don’t look now, but the Rockies are just two little games behind the D-Backs for the West lead. Oh my! The Rockies have been to the playoffs just once in their 15 years of existence. As the Wild Card in 1995. The Larry Walker Rockies. The Dante Bichette Rockies. The Big Cat Rockies. These 
2007 Rockies are a new breed. Dig the new breed. Dig Beltin‘ Todd Helton. Beautiful swing. Will the Thrill swing. It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing. Know this: Without Beltin’ Todd Helton’s walkoff home run nine days ago, there is no winning streak. In September, he has batted .402 with 18 RBIs. Yowza! Dig Troy Trevor Tulowitzki. Triple play Troy Trevor Tulowitzki. Tu-lo-git. Tu-lo-git to quit. Rookie Sensation. Scaring the nation with his guns and ammunition. NL Rookie of the Month for August. Gold Glove candidate. Leads all rookies in runs, RBIs and total bases. Dig Matt Holiday. MVP! MVP! MVP! Tough guy Matt Holiday. I am a tuh tuh tuh tuh tough tough guy. Halo round my head to tough to die. Strained left oblique muscle. Strained left oblique muscle during the last week of a stretch of eleven home runs in thirteen games. He hasn’t got time for the pain. Dig the Rockies defense. On their way to the highest fielding percentage in major-league history. Goodness! If you saw Tuesday’s night’s Web Gems, you know what I’m talking about Willis. Down 6-5. Andre Ethier. Flyball. Deep center. Cory Sullivan makes the grab. Rockets the ball to the plate. Yorvit Torrealba blocks 
home plate. Tom Nalen style. Jeff Kent. Yerrrr out! Double play. How about that? How about this? How bout the Rockies bullpen? The Rockies wouldn’t be in this playoff race without the bullpen’s finishing kick. He punches like a fucking mule kicks. Entering Wednesday, Colorado’s relievers had a 2.86 ERA during the streak. Jeremy Affeldt, Brian Fuentes and Manny Corpas have been pitching out of their minds. Make no mistakes sports fans, these Colorado Rockies are for real. Four games remain. God, I love this game.
does it? But you get the idea. How ’bout them Titans? How ’bout that Mighty Vince Young? The Volunteer State’s own little secret. Listen. whoa oh, oh. Do you want to know a secret? Whoa oh, oh. Do you promise not to tell? The Volunteer State’s own little secret was on full display Monday night. On full display in dazzling Technicolor. In dazzling Technicolor for the whole entire nation to witness. Samuel Lapp style. The Titans manhandled last year’s feel good story of the year. Last year’s squeal good story of the year. This year’s banana peel story of the year. Bananas. B-a-n-a-n-a-s. The Titans are bananas. The Titans continued their domination over the NFC South. The Titans have won nine straight 
games against the NFC South. The Titans are now 12-1 in their last 13 games against the NFC South. Can you say playoffs boys and girls? Sure you can. Mighty Vince Young can too. Make no mistakes sports fans. These Tennessee Titans are Mighty Vince Young’s team. VY and his Titans are 10-4 in their last fourteen games. Eight of those wins coming from behind. The Titans were nothing without Vince. Nothing, I say! Without me, my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. They ain’t useless no more. Now they’re winning ball games. Big ball games. Important ball games. Monday Night Football games. That’s what Mighty 
Vince does best. Win big ball games. You saw what he did in the Rose Bowl. You saw what he did last year. What he did to the New York Football Giants. The same thing he did to the Trojans. The same thing he did to the Colts. The same thing he did to the Texans. The same thing he did to the Bills. And so it goes, and so it goes, and so it goes. But where it’s going, no one knows. Mighty Vince young does. Mighty Vince Young is a quar-ter-back. Mighty Vince Young is a winner. He plays bigger than his numbers. Bigger and deffer. Bigger and deffer at Madison High School. At Madison High School where folks said, no way he pulls that junk in college. Bigger and deffer at UT. At UT where folks said, no way he pulls that junk in the pros. Folks were wrong. Mighty Vince Young pulls that junk wherever he wants. Mighty Vince Young pulls that junk whenever he wants. Mighty Vince Young. The future is now.
