When Ben Olson went down Saturday during practice, there was one question on the minds of UCLA alumni - Does Rick Neuheisel have any eligibility left? Unfortunately for those alums, the quarterback that led the Bruins in the 80s can do nothing more than coach. He is the one, though, that has to find a way to get a new quarterback ready for the opening game versus the University of Tennessee.

Yes, the Denver Broncos lost their first preseason game against the Houston Texans. What isn't told within the 19-16 ending score is quite how much they lost, and how much they have to gain in the weeks before their September 8th Monday Night Football game agaisnt the Oakland Raiders.

There is now huge concern at the strong-side linebacker position along with the fear that Jason Elam may have been a cheap alternative to their current kicking issues.

Brett going down to finish his career in Florida? Pennington and Clemens fighting for a starting job?

NOT A CHANCE!

Favre is traded to the Jets and will be the most notable quarterback in Jet green since Broadway Joe!

A trend is developing that has to be disturbing the long-running oligopoly of the NBA. Players are starting to flock to the Euro strengthened European leagues forgoing previously more lucritive contracts in the US. The latest is the little journeyman Earl Boykins.

But with Earl, there is a more pressing question - Is he taller than the stack of money he is receiving?

It is unquestionable that the 1999 Rams were better than their counterparts in 1998 - they have the rings to prove it.

Mike Martz then followed up that success as an offensive coordinator in Detroit, making the Lions offense better both years that he was with them.

Is Mike Martz the best offensive coordinator of the recent NFL or just a beneficiary of coincidence?

Sorry Rockies fans, but there will be no Cinderella Story this year. Giants fans and Padres fans, maybe you should have stopped watching a few weeks back.

D-Backs, enjoy your time at the top, it may be limited.

The Dodgers are bringing in the heat from Boston, and Manny Ramirez knows how to win.

Boss Bailey, Keary Colbert - 2 players with good rookie seasons and nothing since. Niko Koutouvides - career backup and special teams player is going to start at middle linebacker this year? Do we even have to mention Darrell Jackson or Dewayne Robertson? Has the coach that took the Broncos to the promise land of the Super Bowl lost it?

I think not - I think he is trying to duplicate the method he used for past success!
