His initials are BF

Get ready. Here it comes.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Tarvaris Jackson sprained a ligament in his left knee in practice on Saturday.

I won't bring up the name, but can anyone else see where this is heading?

What's up, doc? Toronto's J.P. Ricciardi has been roasted all weekend for not pulling the trigger on a trade that would have sent righthander Roy Halladay elsewhere for a load of prospects.

A lot of writers have noted that Ricciardi may well have forfeited his job, but if he is brought back next season, then we'll have to go through all this again.

"He left Halladay twisting and now brings him back with all kinds of ambiguity," wrote Jeff Passan, of Yahoo Sports.

"The Blue Jays want him, but if they're overwhelmed with a deal over the winter, they'll trade him, and if not, he can come back for the first three months of the season, at which point they'll reassess, and if they're not in it, they'll probably go through this same nonsense again, only this time they'll ship him off, and for far less than they could have gotten this year."

What about the lime? The Tennessee Titans were shocked when running back LenDale White reported to camp last week more than 30 pounds lighter than a year ago.

The former Southern Cal star, who insisted his new commitment had nothing to do with this being a contract year, said the loss was easy.

"I've really got to be honest," White told reporters. "It wasn't a lot of major diet changes. [It was] watching what I drink. I was a big tequila consumer. . . . That's what it was. I was drinking a lot, drank a lot of alcohol. I cut that out of my diet all the way. I don't drink at all. I cut the drinking, I stopped drinking for six months.

"It started falling off."

Different strokes. Apparently White doesn't live anywhere near Torii Hunter, the Los Angeles Angels centerfielder.

The jovial Hunter says he lives near Kobe Bryant and, courtesy of a five-year, $90-million contract, hangs out in the fast lane with La La Land's celebs.

"I'm not really friends with any of them," he said. "We're cordial, we talk, we have a glass of milk together. But I hang with my old friends."

I've never been to a Hollywood party, but I'm pretty sure milk isn't high on the list of libations.
