Counting down towards Santa…

December 22, 2010

Although in Philly, fans already got their present from Santa Dodge.

Interim Vikings coach Leslie Frazier won’t put Brett Favre on injured reserve yet.

Which means long-suffering Minnesota fans will still have nightmares about the ghosts of Favre Past, Present and Future.

–

Since Favre isn’t practicing, however, he has been trying to keep busy. That volunteer job at the North Pole, however, washed out.  Apparently it took Brett several days just to decide if the first ten kids on the list Santa gave him were naughty or nice.

–

The Yankees are only paying $18 million in luxury tax this year.  Which curiously enough is about the same total payroll of the 2011 Greinke-less Royals.

–

Prince Frederic Von Anhalt, the husband of Zsa Zsa Gabor, apparently was hospitalized after mistaking a bottle of nail glue for eye drops and accidentally gluing one of his own eyes shut.

Well, I don’t know about deaf,  but he’s certainly got “dumb and blind” down.

 

Apparently 23 percent of U.S. high school graduates can’t get the minimum score needed on a test to qualify for the military. It’s okay though, most of them are in college playing football.
–
Regarding those 23 percent of high school graduates who can’t pass the military qualification test. Wonder how many of them refudiate the results.
–
In England,  the Business Secretary, Vince Cable (this is similar to a U.S. Cabinet position), was stripped of his responsibilities after he claimed to have declared war on Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp (parent of Fox)  empire.
Wonder how long it might take him to get a sympathetic message and a job offer from President Obama….
