Bob Hille's starting 5

1 NFL injuries. Brutal first few weeks. Broken bones, separated shoulders and blown knees. In fact, I hear ABC is fast-tracking a new Sunday night medical drama on ESPN: Jim Gray's Anatomy.

2 The Padres. Did you watch them celebrate? I hadn't seen that much self-congratulatory backslapping about a mediocre season since Tom Arnold's last episode of The Best Damn Sports Show Period.

3 Vinny Testaverde. Yes, the Jets' move was made out of desperation. In their defense, they found out that the Hart-D-Van at Namath's nursing home doesn't run on Sundays.

4 The Globetrotters They were sold to a group run by a Disney. Feels like a pairing that just won't mix. Kinda like oil and confetti.

5 Don Fehr. Did McCain rip him a new one or what? If a guy wanted to be treated like that by Congress, he'd become the head of FEMA.
