News and Updates

By:Guido

Isiah Thomas overdosed on sleeping pills then said that it was his daughter. Wow. What a great dad. Officials have yet to publicly identify Thomas as the "victim", but did say they saw a 47-year-old man on the floor when they arrived. So, why Isiah would be such a dickface and try to portray his daughter as the victim is beyond me. I guess the only logical reason would be to put her in the public eye and make himself seem less crazy. I can only imagine what it must be like to have a father who cares so much.

Hot stove action should heat up after tonight's World Series win for the Phillies. Of course Jake Peavey is out there and if the right deal presents itself, then he won't be in San Diego very long. Manny Ramirez will also be available and I would look for the Dodgers to overspend if they can get him. I still feel that Manny will end up in the American League. K-Rod and CC Sabathia will be shopping around as well. I think K-Rod will stay in Anaheim while Sabathia will go with the best chance at winning combined with a healthy pay check.

The Bears are tied for first in the NFC North with Green Bay. Apparently the Bears aren't taking this weeks match up against the win less Detroit Lions for granted. I am. This is gonna be a ass beating of epic proportions. I just wish Jon Kitna would be there to witness it.

Also, can we just get rid of Bud Selig and all these MLB/FOX contracts? Seriously. Let's have earlier start times for playoff and World Series games. Let's have team announcers call their home team playoff games. Let's either shorten the season or maybe have some double-headers scheduled through out the season. Baseball is the American Pastime and nobody really gives a crap. Instead of being like the NBA and their five month playoff system, let's actually put some plans into action. While we're at it, do away with salary caps, expansion teams, the dh, Joe Buck, and umpire's personal interpretations of the strike zone.

By the way, Daunte Culpepper snubbed the Chiefs to workout with the Lions...Can beggars really be choosers?

Let's be real honest here. Wouldn't you rather have Joe Orlavsky quarterbacking your team than Daunte Culpepper? I would.
