I've got two things on the brain today: Don Imus and my diet.

No, not diet as in a cutting back of food intake, but I'm talking about a general accounting for what I eat.

Although it does occur to me that Imus is a skinny dude.

Nonetheless, Imus has been suspended for a couple of weeks by CBS Radio and NBC for a racially insensitive remark. Specifically, Imus referred to the Rutgers women's basketball team as "nappy-headed hos." Is that how you spell "ho"?

Anyway, Al Sharpton called for his firing and even told him such during a radio appearance on Monday. However, Sharpton's crusade isn't against Imus; it's against the FCC.

I sorta agree with Sharpton. His argument is that FCC-regulated stations shouldn't tolerate nonsense like what Imus spewed. The unfortunate part is that Imus really is a good dude, and the context in which he called the Rutgers players what he called them wasn't malicious.

There are truly bigger sociological fish to fry in terms of racial progress. To me, while Imus' punishment is deserved, it's also pretty much a waste of time for Sharpton to have pursued it.

Quick Aside: I love MLB.tv. I am the proud owner of an MLB.tv account. Premium, baby, and I downloaded Mosaic. I can't even begin to delineate all the great things about Mosaic.

• Running scorecard


• Fantasy alerts


• 700K video


• Archived games


• Condensed games


• The ability to watch six games at once

I'm like a kid in a candy store. I think my game for the evening will be Cincinnati vs. Arizona.

Now for the diet. Here's what I ate today:

• Flax-seed peanut butter on whole grain toast


• Two one-slice chicken spread sandwiches


• Bowl of Progresso vegetable soup


• Mini cup of Chicken of the Sea tuna teriyaki


• Crumbs from the bottom of a bag of Lay's Sour Cream & Onion


• Salad with spring mix, spinach, cauliflower, carrots and broccoli and topped with a 1.5-tbsp dollop of Miracle Whip


• .5 baked potato with salt and pepper


• .5 bowl of Campbell's Roadhouse beef and bean chili


• Bowl of fruit, pieces include: 2 pineapple, 2 apple, 2 cantaloupe, 2 green melon, 5 grapes

No exercise per se today. I'm about to clean up the house some though. Hopefully, I'll do 15 or 30 minutes in the morning.

Gotta get back to the great game.
