Last night marked the first day of the NBA season I couldn’t be more stoked!

Kobe Bryant dropped 45 and the Lakers still lost to Houston. Nothing has changed.

Carlos Boozer puts together his trademark double-double with 32 points and 15 rebounds in a rematch of last year’s playoff series win against the Warriors.

And the Spurs started off defending their title with a win over a Oden-less Portland team.

Here’s to a fine season.

Who says Brett Favre doesn’t have anymore left in the tank? Who says that he can’t throw the deep ball like the old days?

Well, after last night’s Monday Night Football win, we know that Dre Bly and the Denver Broncos aren’t one of them.

Great effort by the Broncos though at the end. Too bad the defense wasn’t awake on the first play of overtime.

I didn’t get around to posting this yesterday, but this finish is too good to overlook. This Division III team really put to work the phrase, “it ain’t over, till it’s over.”

Check it out.

So, I held off on announcing it, but I’m sure all of you had already known the outcome of the Series. Being a Yankee fan, I felt like I had to snub the Sox just a little bit.

But with all sincerity, congratulations to the Sox for sweeping the Rockies.

• It’s beginning to sound repetitive, but Tom Brady had another 5 touchdowns this week. But this time, he changed it up a bit: he went for 3 in the air and ran into the end zone for 2 more. His season touchdown total is now at 32 through eight games.
• Colts wide receiver Reggie Wayne took advantage of Marvin Harrison’s day off with 7 receptions, 168 yards and a touchdown.

A quick recap of some sports blogs around the Net:

• Who’s Who of the CFL? - Deuce of Davenport
• Chad Johnson fires away on his interview with Keyshawn Johnson - Awful Announcing

This week in Smarter Sports we talked about:

• The hunt to replace Joe Torre has begun.
• Tony Romo and Sophia Bush?
• Interviewer asks Sam Cassel whether he looks more like ET or Gollum.
• David Beckham is the Manliest Man of 2007 according to AskMen.com.

Yes, that man you see above was voted by the readers of AskMen.com as the Manliest Man of 2007.

Yes, David Beckham beat out other “manlier” men such as and Peyton Manning (16) and LaDainian Tomlinson (41). Don’t ask me how it happened, sometimes it’s just the way the cards are dealt.

But something tells me that out of the 1 million voters who voted on AskMen.com, 999,999 were women. The lone vote being David.

Yes, we know it was you. Your gig is up!

Anyways, I guess congratulations.

Sometimes professional journalists are afraid to ask certain questions because they are afraid they are inappropriate or may offend the person being interviewed.

Well, good thing this guy isn’t a professional because he asks some pretty messed up questions to Los Angeles Clippers guard Sam Cassel, who many of you sports fans know, isn’t necessarily mistaken for Denzel Washington.

You know the interview is headed for a meltdown right after the guy says that Cassel plays for the Lakers seconds into the clip.

Great fact checking buddy.

Anyways, check out this funny clip.

Has Tony Romo already mended his heart and moved on from hi apparent “great friendship” with Carrie Underwood?

It appears he may have when his new “friend” Sophia Bush, the star of One Tree Hill, showed up to teammate Terence Newman’s house to watch Romo play Guitar Hero III against Carmen Electra online.

Bush and Elektra? Not bad Romo. Not bad, but I still hate the Cowboys.
