We offer evidence of another pumped-up day in the world of sports:
• Topps shows what a bunch of cards they are by inserting Rudy Guiliani into the Red Sox’s World Series celebration:
• HBO is cancelling “Inside The NFL”, denying us the chance to see more manic Marino tantrums.
• Jeremy Shockey has better things to do than attend some silly Super Bowl parade.
• Terrelle Pryor said he wouldn’t choose his school on Wednesday, but others are trying to make the choice for him.
• Pedro Martinez & Juan Marichal do enjoy themselves a good cockfight:
(Pedro handling his cock before the big fight)
• True to his word, Shaq doesn’t let Steve Nash down.
• Like the SEC gals and Big East boys, the Green Bay Packers experience their own teleconferencing fun.
• ESPN needs to hire a spellchecker for the “PTI” graphics guys.

WBZ-TV in Boston has a report that shows the venerable Topps baseball card company knows its way around the public relations block.
To drum up publicity for the company’s new MLB baseball card set, a card showing former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani celebrating the Red Sox World Series victory will be included in the set. Giuliani (in)famously claimed he rooted for the Red Sox will campaigning for president last year in New Hampshire.
The now-failed presidential candidate was photoshopped by Topps into an image of Boston’s on-field celebration after defeating the Rockies in the 2007 fall classic. The front and back of the card are after the jump.

TB RAYS - BOTTOM OF THE STANDINGS, TOPPS OF THE HEAP Good to know that their 66-96 record was not in vain, as the Tampa Bay Rays have been put on top - by Topps:
The baseball-card company announced that the perennial AL East cellar dwellers have been declared the 2007 Topps Organization of the Year.The rankings are based on the number of awards given out to players throughout the season. Keep in mind, it’s not just the men on the major league roster that matter, but also all the hitters & hurlers in the team’s minor league system.
So the Rays were able to clinch the title by accruing such accolades as Players of the Month in the Southern and International Leagues.
Other awards that helped secure Tampa’s top spot include Best Alcohol-Fueled Police Chase By a Pitching Coach, and Most Creative Threats To A Spouse.
