Jets fullback Tony Richardson warned his teammates about Oakland’s infamous Black Hole before Gang Green’s matchup with the Raiders this week. “One lady was about 75 years old,” he said, “and she shot us the bird.” The Jets plan to prepare for that treatment by driving on the New Jersey turnpike.

Yesterday Brett Favre, who has started 258 straight games including once playing through a broken thumb, said he called Tony Romo, who will miss his next four starts with a broken pinkie. Favre said he offered Romo words of encouragement and managed to keep a straight face while doing so.

Former slugger and literary giant Jose Canseco back in the news today after being caught smuggling a female fertility drug across the border from Mexico. The drug, HCG, is often used illegally by steroid users to combat testicular atrophy. Legal experts say Canseco will still testify against Roger Clemens, but others question whether he still has the balls.

Canseco said he was only in Mexico seeking — quote — “inexpensive dental implant work,” because apparently there’s a huge black market for dental implants in Tijuana.

As we point out in the show today, Jose Canseco is back in the news after smuggling a female fertility drug across the border from Mexico. The drug is apparently used illegally by juicers to combat low testosterone levels and testicular atrophy. He was accompanied by a female driver and her young daughter, because Jose Canseco’s not above bringing kids into his tiny-nutted romps of desperation.

We assume the woman is Canseco’s girlfriend or among his girlfriends, because who else would have enough of a personal stake in the size of his testicles to drive him across the border? Certainly Canseco’s passport is riddled with red flags by now.

Of course, the funniest tidbit from the story is that Canseco claimed he went to Mexico for cheap dental implants. Add “seeking dentistry in Mexico” to Canseco’s lengthy list of questionable decisions.

It boggles the mind that no one’s thought to make an after-school special of the Jose Canseco story yet. Hey kids, take steroids and one moment you’re on top of the world, the next you’ve got puny balls and you’re smuggling drugs in from Tijuana to try to get them bigger again, plus you’ve got Hepatitis B from an unaccredited Mexican dentist. Also, you’ve probably got bacne.

Cowboys lose Romo for 4 weeks to injury, lose Pacman to suspension, and solve their problems by acquiring superfluous big name receiver to “compliment” T.O.  Lucky for faithful fans though, Jerry Jones’ face can no longer express the fear and desperation that is brewing inside of him.

Favre calls Romo with words of encouragement, advice on how to become a true iron-man.
