Slow News Day

Ridiculous slow news day.  Not a damn thing going on worth reporting or commenting on in depth.  Here's a quick rundown or today's skinny:

• Rajon Rondo is on the shelf for a couple weeks, picking up an ankle injury.  Danny Ainge says that he will be out for a couple weeks.  Big loss for the Celtics, he does so much for that team.  Also important to remember that championships aren't won in December.
• Red Sox signed Bobby Jenks.  Interesting in that it gives them an upgrade in the 'pen and puts a bit of heat on Jonathan Papelbom to perform, as there is a second choice available.  For counterarguement's sake, Eric Gagne was supposed to be that guy, and we all know how that played out.  
• Chargers vs. 49ers tonight.  Here's the sad part, the 5-8 49ers have a much better chance of making the playoffs than the 7-6 Chargers do.  
• Yao Ming is hurt again.  Can't tell you how bad I feel for this guy.  Talented player, nicest guy imaginable, and yet it looks more and more like the end of the road for him.  Big loss for the NBA if he can't come back and contribute.
• The Tebow era looks set to begin in Denver.  Can't see that going well, but that's just me.  
• Mark Cuban is working on a plan to blow up the BCS.  This strikes me like a lot of talk and not much action.  The NCAA is pretty tightly bound to the BCS at this point and I really don't see anything happening except for a cool idea that isn't plausable.  
• In a bit of nice news, Charlie Davies, the US Soccer forward that almost died in a horrific car accident, will likely make his return to first team action with his French club Sochaux.  This is a guy I am totally rooting for.  I wish him the best.

That's pretty much it for now.  Check back tonight for updates.
