Drive for show, putt for notes. …
He doesn’t say much, but when Gerard Warren talks, people listen. Which brings us to his fellow ex-Gators, Jarvis Moss and Marcus Thomas, drafted by the Broncos despite issues with marijuana. Warren talked to them last week, but the conversation didn’t last long. So what was his message? “They’re grown men now,” Warren said. …
My expert scouting report on Thomas after seeing him in shorts and a T-shirt: Dude is, like, big. …
Bronx wideout Brandon Marshall on his offseason domestic-violence charge: “I definitely grew up. It’s sad to say, but sometimes you have to bump your head or go through some things to actually learn. I’m glad it happened now rather than down the road in my career. I can guarantee I’ll be on top of everything from here on out.” …
Mark Schlereth, ESPN pretty boy, was one thing. But Stink the soap-opera stud? If this keeps up, Tom Nalen is going to have to call an emergency session of the offensive line’s kangaroo court. …
And to think, Schlereth’s biggest claim to fame 10 years ago was that he knew John Elway. …
Just wondering: Next time I see Stink and he blows his nose, should I retrieve the Kleenex and peddle it on eBay? …
The rest of us start our diets tomorrow. Not Schlereth. He started his yesterday. As in, the moment he took off the shoulder pads. The guy weighed 306 pounds one offseason. He’s 220 these days, give or take a sliced cucumber. …
Even if the Monfort Bros. sold, don’t we have to wonder whether another ownership/management group could turn this franchise around? This is Year XV of altitudeball and the Rockies have finished last or next-to-last every year but 1995. As if adding another $15-20 million to the payroll is suddenly going to make them a legit contender. …
At least the Rox were entertaining back in the day. Not anymore. How puny is their hitting attack? Jorge Posada is hitting .386. The Rockies are slugging .370. It’s like “Groundhog Day” circa 1968. …
Then there’s that vaunted Rockies bullpen. A few more lousy outings and some of those relievers are going to get contract extensions. …
Giving the Jazz a, ahem, fighting chance vs. the Spurs? Maybe you missed the fine print, the part about Utah having lost 16 straight at San Antone. …
Not sure if the Spurs are going to win the NBA championship, but they’ve already locked up the NCAA (No Class At All) title. …
Jazz power forward Carlos Boozer stands 6-9 and weighs a chiseled 266 pounds. He’s such a load that Manu Ginobili flopped Saturday just looking at a picture of him. …
Hopeless in Seattle: Seven weeks into things, Richie Sexson is barely hitting his wife’s weight, much less his own. …
This just in. Now that the price of stamps has risen two cents, Roger Clemens’ agent wants to renegotiate. …
Memo to Keyshawn “Just Gimme My Release” Johnson, who says he’d rather retire than work for a lousy $2.5 million: Do the words “Thank you for choosing Burger King” mean anything to you? …
As usual, I’m confused. Is it Ricky Williams’ career is going up in smoke and Michael Vick’s is going to the dogs or vice versa? …
Little-known historical fact: Vick was the Rockies’ 30th-round draft choice in 2000. He hadn’t played baseball since eighth grade, but the scouts liked his bulldog attitude. …
So Paris Hilton is headed off to jail in Los Angeles. Could be worse, you know. She could be Brett Favre stuck in career Hades in Green Bay. …
From the e-mail bag: “You have been approved to claim a cash prize of 500,000 pounds. You are to contact Mr. Victor Sly at” yada-yada- yada. What were the odds of Victor, the most generous man on Earth, stumbling across my e-mail address? … Yogi-ism that came to mind Saturday during yet another good walk spoiled: “Eighty percent of putts that are short don’t go in.” …
And finally, happy 67th birthday to a boyhood hero, Stan Mikita.
