Ten Things in Sports That Boggle My Mind

1. 42% of people who answered ESPN SportsNation's poll question said they would vote Barry Bonds into the Hall of Fame. 49% for Roger Clemens, and 42% for Sammy Sosa. Are we a country of no morals? Do that many people honestly thing cheating should be rewarded?

2. The attention the Jets still receive despite being an awful football team is comical. But their demise is somewhat amusing.

3. The Los Angeles Lakers are ranked eighth in ESPN's weekly power rankings, despite being a measly 7-7. On paper they may be worthy of that ranking, but on the basketball court they shouldn't be in the top fifteen.

4. If Ndamukong Suh did in fact kick Matt Schaub in the cajones on purpose in front of everyone on national TV after what he did last year...

5. That Pittsburgh-Cleveland game yesterday.

6. I'll be one of five people watching the Eagles-Panthers Monday Night Football Game tonight. I still can't wrap my mind around what happened to my Birds. (I never did write Part 2 of my State of the Eagles post. It hurt too much.)

7. The fact that Florida isn't receiving any consideration to play for the BCS National Championship confuses me. They have a better case than both Alabama and Georgia, and if Notre Dame didn't get that lucky call against Pittsburgh, them, too.

8. The suits at the BCS actually think a four-team playoff is going to make matters better. Nope, the same controversy we have every year on who is going to play for the BCS National Championship is going to surround teams four, five, and six. Eight is clearly the way to go; that way no truly elite team will be removed from a shot at the championship.

9. How is this physically possible?

10. I can't believe Penn State coach Bill O'Brien dropped an F bomb on national TV after Saturday's game, as his program is trying to restore its image. Slip of the tongue for sure, but why did it have to be him?

Unanimous Cy for Halladay

As expected, 21-game winner Roy "Doc" Halladay has won his second Cy Young award, joining the now five-man list of Roger Clemens, Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, and Gaylord Perry as the only pitchers to receive the award pitching in both leagues. Halladay is the 13th pitcher to win the award unanimously, with Jake Peavy in 2007 being the last to do so.

While posting a 2.44 ERA, with a record of 21-10, and 219 strikeouts, the Phillies ace was the obvious favorite for the award. His perfect game against the Florida Marlins will be long remembered by Phillies fans, but not as much as his postseason no-hitter vs. the Reds, the second in the postseason ever, with the Yankees' Don Larsen being the first.

Halladay is well-known for his outstanding, unmatched work ethic, running countless miles and watching a ridiculous amount of tape. He rarely shows emotion, except for that glare he possessed in the NLCS vs. the Giants. His work ethic is what makes it possible for him to go deep into games almost every outing, and be arguably the greatest pitcher in the game today.
