Doomed!

Can things get any worse for Base10's beloved Jets? Several media sources are reporting that the Jets center, perenial Pro-Bowler Kevin Mawae, is out for the season after an injury in Sunday's game against Buffalo. Stick a fork in us. We're done.

In other sports news, San Fransisco head coach Mike Nolan is showing that he has complete faith in rookie quarterback Alex Smith. San Fran traded former starter Tim Rattay to the Buccs yesterday before the deadline. Conversely, the Buccs are showing that they have no confidence in backup Chris Simms. They signed Rattay after Brian Griese went down Sunday and the job fell to Simms. In fairness to Jon Gruden, I haven't seen any specifics about who will start yet.

Meanwhile, in St Louis, there's no word on whether Marc Bulger will play this Sunday. Base10's fantasy status is not so bad as the Jets, however. He has backups! Base10 can always play Eli Manning or Carson Palmer.

There was very little in sports last night, except for preseason NBA. (Definitely not my bag. What could be worse than an actual NBA game? A preseason one, of course)! Tonight, however, Houston continues their quest for the World Series as they face the Cards at St. Louis. I don't know why everybody is so down on Houston. All the pundits are saying they're doomed and will lose the series. Guys, they're still winning! Leading 3-2 is not the worst place to be. (The worst place to be is 0-3, by definition). I'll probably watch the game tonight.

Links later when I get to work.

UPDATE: Links are upt. And it looks like Simms will start, at least for now.
