Sport News

Having been devastatingly swept by the Braves last weekend, the Mets gave their fans one last glimmer of hope by sweeping the Brewers during the week. However, they then were themselves swept by St. Louis. Alas, the Amazin's are now 11 games out and they look like they're done.

Football on the other hand is alive and well. Base10 has been playing fantasy with his friends for the last ten years but has just joined two new games this year. First, a pay salary cap league run by the Sporting News. Second, the free game run by the NFL Players Association. The free game has a grand prize of an all-expense paid trip to the Pro Bowl and dinner with an actual fantasy team. Pretty cool!

The Hall of Fame game is tonight. Help is on the way Mets fans! Tonight's matchup features the Denver Broncos and the Washinton Redskins. Players to watch include RB Clinton Portis acquired by the Skins from the Broncos. And then there is Jake Plummer the Bronco's QB who has certainly had his share of NFL struggles. If there's no other reason, also watch for the returning Joe Gibbs.

The Jets have their first pre-season game on Friday against New Orleans. Our NFC cousins also kick-off the pre-season when the Giants meet Kansas City.

In news to make Jets fans happy, the Dolphins lost another key player. Dolphins WR David Boston is out for the season due to a knee injury.
