YOUR 8 A.M.

Sorry, which club did you want again? I was lost in your eyes.

ODDITITES:
Odds on … Things overheard on the course when Bucs Coach Jon Gruden caddied for John Daly at yesterday's PODS Championship.
(10 to 1) "You know, Jon. You're not the only one who wishes there were carts."
(3 to 1) "Who knew a bag full of donuts and smokes could be so heavy?"
(Even) "You're going to Hooters after this!? Sa-weeet!"

QUESTIONS WE WON'T GET TO ASK TODAY:
Houston Rockets:
Isn't the West complicated enough without you guys continuing to overachieve?
Tripp Isenhour:
Don't hawks have any idea what "FORE" means?
Brett Favre's Tears:
Did you waffle several times before finally deciding to leave the safety of the tear duct?

SCREW THE MATH:
Jonathan Papelbon's new $775K contract could buy him 51,666 copies of the 2007 World Series Highlights DVD but only 25,833 copies of The Best of Riverdance DVD.
