So, let's see. In the past 12 months, I predicted the Bucs would go 5-10-1 in 2007. I put my foot in my mouth again about two months ago when I said I would trade Jason Bartlett and Matt Garza back to Minnesota for Delmon Young. And I riled up half of New England and ALL of Red Sox Nation by listing 10 reasons to hate the Red Sox. (I'm still getting nasty e-mails over that one.) What does this all mean? I need a vacation! Give me a couple of weeks and I'll be back with more stupid predictions and maybe 10 reasons to hate the Yankees or something. I'll return here Aug. 18. In the meantime, I'll be seeing if it's possible to snooze in a hammock while eating a cheeseburger at the same time. See ya soon.


Tom Jones doesn't sing "It's Not Unusual'' or shake his hips (well, unless you're willing to pay cash), but he does have plenty to say about sports. If it's funny, crazy, weird, irreverent or worth arguing, Tom has his opinions. So pull up a chair and get his two cents -- and give him your two cents, as well.
E-mail Tom Jones:
Is it even possible to come up with such a short list of reasons to hate the Yankees???
