Left Coast Sports Babe

The Miami Heat have now lost four in a row.   No punchline, it’s just really fun to write that.

–

A federal grand jury in Los Angeles has apparently unearthed damaging evidence against Lance Armstrong in their doping inquiry. Okay, Armstrong’s is a great story. But did we ever really believe that when a whole sport was dirty, the cancer survivor winning all the races was also the only one who was clean?

–

Senator Joe Lieberman said he will not seek re-election. Apparently he thinks it’s time to retire to his lilypad.

–

The FCC has approved Comcast’s purchase of NBC despite the concerns of some legislators and consumer groups that it might be anti-competitive. Apparently it might have been different had Comcast actually tried to purchase a major network.

–

Seattle Mariners outfielder Milton Bradley was arrested again, this time for allegedly making threats against a woman.  Is this part of Major League Baseball’s “Seven strikes and you’re out” policy?

–

Stanford University says they have a problem with “failure-deprived” students, who have never had to dealt with disappointment before. The school has thus launched the “Resilence Project” to present stories of failure from successful people. Wonder if the project includes field trips to Wrigley Field?

–

Chad Pennington, 34, has decided to try another comeback. This time after his fourth shoulder surgery. Even Brett Favre is saying, “Dude, give it up already.”

–

Yet another masseuse has come forward to say she received unwelcome text messages from Brett Favre and other members of the Minnesota Vikings. While I realize that not all NFL players are Neanderthals, maybe masseuses and hostesses who deal with them should at least learn the “call blocking” feature on their phones?

–

And once again, can we all be thankful that texting hadn’t been invented when Bill Clinton was president?

The GOP-led Congress says they want to repeal Obamacare in favor of their own healthcare reform plan, although they have not provided details. My question….just where was this plan when they controlled the Presidency and both houses of Congess from 2002-2006?

–

Sargent Shriver died today at the age of 95. Or as John McCain said “So tragically young.”

–

Dick Cheney said that he is considering a heart transplant. Why now, when he’s lived fine for 69 years without one?

–

From my friend Jerry Perisho:  Bill Clinton is in Chicago campaigning for Rahm Emanuel. At least, that’s what he told Hillary he was doing.
