Devils > Eagles - by a nose
Wally's Blue Devils survived a scare last night from the BC Eagles. Wally was tied up and so he DVR'd the game, but it sounds like JJ had his usual performance (if 28 points in a college game can ever be described as usual). Duke's game on Saturday against the Seminoles from Free Shoes University isn't on national TV, so the next game is Tuesday vs. Carolina.
Wally's also excited about the Red Sox's acquisition of the wonderfully-named Coco Crisp to play centerfield post-Johnny Damon. It's not known if Coco is available in a sugar-free version.

Here's the scoop, according to an article from the Boston Globe that's on Boston.com:
And that name, Coco, what is the origin?
''My great grandmother used to call me 'Co' ," said Crisp, whose given name is Covelli. ''My brother and sister got a whiff of the cereal [Cocoa Krispies] and called me Coco. As a kid, you don't like it too much. They asked me what my nickname was when I was in Double A. I said it was Coco.
''They put it on the scoreboard. I got traded [in August 2002] and was up in the big leagues a week and a half later. And I was 'Coco.' When I saw it up there I thought it was terrible because they used to joke with me when I was a kid."
