Jeter To Play Until 50 and Eagles to Beat Giants By 50

I am just back from a few weeks at Lourdes, recovering from drug and alcohol abuse symptoms.

By the way, there is great wine available at this "sanctuary of rest and reflection," and decent baguettes.

Once I stopped seeing spiders who looked like Dick Cheney climbing the walls of my room, I was released.

So what do I read on the flight back from Paris?

A back page filled with news that Derek and Hal are at least $50 million and 4-6 years apart, and an Eagles win over the Skins where it was 45-0 at the half.

Derek must believe he will still have "game" at 50. He will, of course, but said game will not be at shortstop for the Yanks. Perhaps he will play in a Central Park" Caviar and Cristal" softball league. Maybe we can finally be on the same field with bats and balls in hands.

Meanwhile, I noted that the Giants are playing the Eagles on Sunday night in Philly. The Vick boy, who was also briefly at Lourdes just before doing time, is playing better QB than George Bush played at being President.

With recent injuries ( Giants lose at least one starter per week for the year ), we have no prayer ( see, Lourdes is still sniping at me ), and should start Sage Rosenfels to preserve Eli for a late season run.

Good thing Thanksgiving is nigh.

It is really getting ugly for NY sports teams.

  1. Must have had some absinthe at Lourdes along with the wine. Everyone knows that Derek would never play for caviar. Unless there were blinis involved.
