After the decision…any other sporting events on this weekend?
Regarding ESPN’s “the Decision,” Lebron James may have set a record – for the most damage a public figure could do to his reputation in an hour while still keeping his pants on.
Many in the media are saying that by broadcasting “The Decision,” ESPN lost their reputation for integrity. I disagree. That reputation was gone a long time ago.
–
Lebron should be a little careful with his pals in the party atmosphere of South Beach. Otherwise, following in Kobe’s footsteps, the next ring he gets may be for his wife.
–
Paul the Octopus has become famous for, so far, successfully predicting the winners of World Cup matches. And he has picked Spain to win it all. While some question the octopus’s ability, to be fair it’s probably true that Paul has paid more attention to the World Cup so far than most Americans.
–
Two players from the University of Tennessee were charged, and others may be facing charges, after a serious bar brawl.. And an off-duty police officer who tried to break up the fight was knocked unconscious.
Who said that by jumping to USC so quickly Lane Kiffin wouldn’t be around long enough to leave a legacy?
–
She doesn’t HAVE to go on department…
Celine Dion has announced she is expecting twin boys in November. From all over the world good wishes are pouring in, many of them suggesting “take some time off from singing after the boys are born…at least until they are ready for college.”
–
Eight strikeouts for Stephen Strasburg Friday night in six innings. But will there be an asterisk? He was pitching against the San Francisco Giants.
–
Kudos to the Texas Rangers. Their “agreement in principle” with the New York Yankees for Cliff Lee ended up with New York making them a low-ball “take-it-or-leave-it” offer. And the Rangers basically gave the Yankees the same message Lindsay Lohan wore into court on her fingernail.
–
Joe Biden finally made it to the Tonight Show. The Vice President apparently would have appeared on the show sooner, but it took a while for Leno to explain that they only had 60 minutes.
–
You know, Biden has said a lot of stupid things in the last couple years. But he really hasn’t matched – “Sure, I’ll leave the Tonight show and do a five day a week 10pm slot.”
–
Nevada senate candidate Sharron Angle is blasting Harry Reid over the state’s 14 percent unemployment rate. Now, Angle herself has said she believes alcohol should be illegal. Well, what harm could that do to employment in Nevada…?

att German soccer fans: I have a recipe for Octopus Schnitzel! Actually octopi are very intelligent. At the local aquarium here, they once had the resident octopus picking horse races. He had the winner everytime. Too bad he also selected 7 losers. World Cup soccer game today is Uraguay vs Germany for 3rd place. Who cares?, say the people behind the BCS.
LOL at Celine Dion piece. Too bad when the twins reach college age, Rene may be in the same stage in life as Trigger.

The Mariners traded former Cy Young winner Cliff Lee to the Texas Rangers. How shrewd a deal was it? Seattle gave up the game’s premier lefty plus hard throwing reliever, Mark Lowe (who’s on the DL), and got 4 bodies in return, including the prized rookie, Justin Smoak, who’s smoaking along at a .209 clip right now – surprised the Giants couldn’t give up their Cy Young for that big, holey bat? .209, that’s exactly the kind of average the Mariners are looking for; AND among the 4, a convicted felon! Oh, yes, to insure that they could really get those 4 bad boys, the M’s gave Texas 2-million dollars. To summarize: “here’s Cy Young AND $2-million.” But, we do get to keep Milton Bradley, right?

Yeah, but Seattle did give the Yankees the metaphorical finger, that’s worth something!
