If I had to assemble a list athletes most likely appear in an AP caption that read, in part, "kisses an unidentified woman," after a huge win Michael Strahan would be right up there (with Stephon Marbury battling for the top stop after a huge loss. Nice of the Knicks to throttle the first-place Pistons while no one in the city was watching.)

• Phil Mushnick was on the money in his Sunday column that criticized the current state of ticket-dispensing of big events and in-stadium fan behavior (strictly R-rated; sounds cool till you think about how fun it was when your parents took you to games as a kid).

• In an interview for Sunday's New York Post, Giants defensive lineman Justin Tuck revealed that his favorite meal is fried chicken and collard greens. I expect Al Sharpton to call for someone's job in the wake of the Post furthering stereotypes.

• Did you know Eli Manning is one of the handful of quarterbacks who have posted a 0.0 rating? Did you know the list contains two Hall of Famers, and that Terry Bradshaw has an almost unbreakable record of 3 (out of 19 times in the history of the NFL)?

• Terrell Owens is officially invited to get his "popcorn ready" and watch the NFC championship game on the couch with me. (BTW, Google Images brings up some very interesting results for "get your popcorn ready.") F.U.T.O. At least you remembered to being your crying shades. Maybe you can lend 'em to Hillary now that you ain't got shit to do till September.

• Hey, Romo, next trip to Diarrhea Land is on me. Hope the test-tube shots at Senor Frogs were worth it.
