This weekend Canada will have their 101st Grey Cup football championship. Between the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the Hamilton Tigercats. Otherwise known as a game between two teams most Americans couldn’t find on a map.

Hard to believe that at one point A-Rod was going to be the clean superstar to make us all forget Barry Bonds.

–

Two Oklahoma City Thunder fans made half-court shots this week to win $20,000. And presume both fans immediately got tryout offers from the Utah Jazz.

–

From Alex Kaseberg:  “Turns out A-Rod did not storm out of his arbitration meeting. It’s the Fall, they threw him three pitches and he struck out.”

–

I’m sure the Rose Bowl committee, advertisers and fans are just thrilled to hear these quotes: Oregon Ducks WR Josh Huff” I don’t want to play in a Rose Bowl unless I’m playing for a national championship.” And RB De’Anthony Thomas “It’s not a big deal at all We already won a Rose Bowl, so it feels like, ‘Whatever.'”

Former NFL linebacker Channing Crowder with a little TMI about his career. “I never went to the bathroom in the toilet. Every game I peed myself. Six years straight I peed down my leg. I would just be in the huddle and just… pee. Nobody in the stands would know unless you look down like, ‘that’s not water man.’ My teammates didn’t enjoy it as much as I did.” His mother must be so proud.

A man dancing to “Gangnam Style’ at a wedding, fired his AK-47 in the air to celebrate and accidentally killed three people.  The wedding was in Yemen.  But how many read this and first thought “Florida?”  (Or Texas?)

–

Amazing that things have come to such a pass in D.C. that the idea that a President can have his or her nominations approved by majority rule is seen by some as the end of the world.

Hard to believe it’s been 50 years since JFK was shot. Barely remember, except Walter Cronkite was almost crying, Caroline and JFK Jr looked so sad… and there were NO CARTOONS all weekend with nonstop coverage of his funeral including a riderless horse.

–

It is hard to imagine if JFK had been shot during the modern age. Probably would have crashed Twitter and Facebook. Of course, had JFK lived now he might have been impeached before he ever got to Dallas for behavior that made Bill Clinton look like a choir boy.
