23 days until pitchers and catchers report...
* The Reds' Phil Castellini: "I keep thinking we are done, but keep hearing rumblings of more things."
I don't see anything major happening, though. But I've been wrong many times before.
* An update on former Red and Hamilton native Ricky Stone, who is battling cancer.
* There's a documentary coming out about Pete Rose -- it's likely to be popular in Cincinnati, Rose is involved in it and sounds like it doesn't have much of the negative stuff in it.
* I love the Indians' Around the Horn ticket package, that includes local Indians minor league teams. The Reds couldn't do that because a Dayton Dragons ticket is tougher to get than a Reds ticket.
* Among the players I don't think I fully appreciated until after their playing career is Robin Yount. Yount has a level-headed approach to the Mark McGwire issue.
Did you know one of George Brett's sons is named after Yount?
* There's nothing more cliche than the spring training weight loss story -- and they've started already. Those stories are always easy and we always do them -- I know I've written 'em about Todd Coffey and Aaron Harang in the past. Hopefully I won't do one this spring, but it's early, and I'm not out of ideas yet.
* I didn't get MLB 10 The Show
last year, but this makes me need to get it this year -- it'll have classic stadiums, including Crosley Field.
* Chad Ochocinco's going to be on Squidbillies.
* Tony PIke impressed at the first day at the Senior Bowl, but not as good of a report on Mardy Gilyard and some quarterback from Florida.
* Butch Jones is bringing a QB with him -- which is important regarless of the decision of Luke Massa, who may follow Brian Kelly to Notre Dame. It's always important to have QBs in the system.
* I stayed up late to watch the Roddick-Cilic match and thought Roddick was going to come back and win, only to watch him wilt in the fifth. It was disappointing -- he just took his foot off the gas and Cilic was able to come back.
* I find this case of a teacher who resigned because of a complaint about her Facebook page fascinating.
* Holy crap, did you see Gary Coleman's mug shot?
* Would Dunder Mifflin be beter-off if the guy playing David Wallace were running the company rather than David Wallace? He's a real-life wealth management adviser.
* When there's a remake of Short Circuit coming out, there's just too many 80s remakes out there.
* The Reds' Phil Castellini: "I keep thinking we are done, but keep hearing rumblings of more things."

So Tebow is pretty much the QB most people thought he was. Glad to hear that Pike Impressed, I think his health issues will hurt him more than on QB aspects. Not surprised Gilyard was a big of a let down. I am surprised he was not able to hold onto the ball though. I honestly thought he may have problems getting separation from elite DB's. All the coverage and mock drafts and no one has Curt Coleman has a top 5 safety. That's crazy! They guy will be a steal in the draft for some lucky team.
MLB The Show is the best video game I've ever played...I'll definitely be getting 2010's version.
David Wallace is a great character on "The Office." He has these priceless looks of puzzlement and indignation. My favorite scene with him is when he painfully asks Michael Scott, "How . . . do . . . you . . . do IT?" to be successful and Michael has no idea.
Keep the pitchers and catchers count down rolling! I can't decide how I feel about Orlando C. joining the team. I think it would be a good thing, but not if they are interested in Frazier being at SS. I would like to see Frazier given a shot if they think he can do it.
