Johnny Damon is a Yankee. You know, who gives a crap how well he does at the plate (and believe, the Yankee fans do...), King George is copping some wood having pulled him away from the Sawx! OMG, Lucchino and the Red Sox leadership is dropping a load in their pants: Damon, Jeter, Sheff, A Rod, Giambi, Matsui, Posada, Williams (HUH?), Cano. Heck, Thew is nursing a chubby just looking at the bats and runs in that lineup.

However, on to point number 2. It is obvious that the Yankees are allowing Bernie Baseball to close out with some dignity. Personally, the guy is old, can't run, has no gun (then again, Damon's arm isn't THAT much better), can't hit, but the pride and loyalty and performance (who has the most postseason HR's?) he has shown the Yankees over the years has earned him a nice, relaxing, DH filled, farewell tour. Small kudos to King George and Cashman for giving this to him, nice to see that Bernie is rewarded with some good will from the ballclub.

Experience is the ONLY reason I can see the Canadians selecting Todd "blindside you and break your neck beatch" Bertuzzi over Sidney "the next REALLY good one" Crosby. But at least, in their desire to become a mainstream sport, the NHL is becoming much like the NBA and NFL; you can be an asshole and commit a heinous act on the playing field (or even off it, in the case of Mr Lewis) and we'll forgive you and welcome you back. Welcome to the new NHL, where we'll forgive pretty much anything, just like the others...

Is there anyone in the world who thinks Reggie Bush is going to return to college ball?

Jeremy Roenick is still one of my favorite NHL players, but he's starting to become an egotistical, self-centered, mouth. We don't care how well, you've been playing this year, Jeremy, your numbers suck, and points are more important than moral victories when determining the USA hockey squad. Shuddup and play.

Stay tuned for some harsh news and reporting on the supposed 'euthansia attitude' at the Memorial Hospital in New Orleans after Katrina. I'm waiting to hear more, but initially, as I read the story, it seems that hospital workers were discussing who would stay and who would go in terms of evacuation priority, and what would be done with the remaining patients, i.e. put them out of their misery. WOW. I need to read more on this...either it's a very humanitarian decision (they said they focused on the DNR patients), or the most baseless, horrific, and "we're gonna sue you" mistake you'll find this year.

That's it for now...everything else will fall under the old favorites of "stupidass athlete" or "buttplug terrorist" or "Darwin awards candidate".
