The world has gone crazy. CRAZY, I tell you.

On Monday night in Buffalo in October, it was 80 degrees at kickoff.

Fans were in Hawaiian shirts and Bermuda shorts. I expected giant signs to be hoisted in the stands inviting people to a midnight beach party after the game.

Suddenly, I'm starting to believe Al Gore actually

did invent the Internet. He seems to have this global warming thing right.Then, Dallas does everything to hand Buffalo a victory. It was like the Cowboys were pawning off a Christmas fruitcake and no one would take it.The Cowboys had more turnovers than a bakery. Buffalo's defense and special teams scored more than Tony Romo does with the ladies. Yet, the Bills still found a way to A-Rod it — or should I say Jeter it — away.But that game was just a microcosm of the looney sports weekend that unfolded.Any weekend in which a dude can taunt an unconscious quarterback makes it a strange one.• The NFL sent a letter to all 32 teams warning them to keep their cheerleaders in line. Some teams were complaining that the opposing cheerleaders were gyrating in front of them during pregame warmups and messing with their mojo.Yes. All 32 teams got this letter, even the Steelers, who don't have cheerleaders. Maybe Steely McBeam was showing too much of his girder.• Alyssa Milano has sworn off jocks.The star of, um, something decided that after going through the entire Dodgers' pitching rotation that she is done with athletes.Somewhere, Jared Lorenzen, better known as the Pillsbury Throwboy is giddy.• Stanford, a 41-point underdog, beat USC. What's next? KentState going into the horseshoe and knocking off Ohio State? Pitt beating anyone?• Tampa Bay loses another running back.That's three and counting. Jon Gruden has James Wilder's number on speed dial.Too bad Chucky didn't stockpile running backs instead of QBs. He has 10,000 quarterbacks on the roster, but is relying on the janitor at One Buc Place to carry the rock this week.• The Indians beat the Yankees — three times — in one season. Not only that, the Tribe toppled the EvilEmpire in Yankee Stadium in the playoffs.I'm not sure, but that may be a sign of the apocalypse. If the Indians win the World Series, I'm building a bomb shelter and cowering in there until the End Days.• Forget the Madden cover jinx, there's the Butler Bacon jinx.Sports editor John Enrietto's fantasy football team has four wide receivers who suffered injuries: Javon Walker, San Antonio, er, Santonio Holmes, Andre Johnson and Calvin Johnson.Last year, the Bacon's roster looked like a MASH unit. Even his kicker came up lame.Players are petitioning the NFLPA to prevent Enrietto from drafting them next year.Mike Kilroy is a staff writer for the Butler Eagle.
