Sunday, August 17, 2008 - Sweet, sweet karma...

-I must say, the recent rumour of Barry Bonds to Tampa Bay, in light of Evan Longoria and Carl Crawford going down is almost laughable. Why the Rays would agree to this, and take the risk of possibly destroying what's been a completely magical and franchise-record breaking season, by adding Barroid to the mix is beyond me.
-I can't think of a sports superlative that can describe Usain Bolt's performance, and do it all of the justice it deserves. The guy is an incredible athlete and has the superstar swagger to boot.
-Finally Canada gets three medals, and one gold medal. Ironically that one gold came from a Vietnamese/Canadian.
-Team USA basketball pummeled Spain and showed the world that they're simply stronger, faster and just better than any other team in the world. I'd wager my soul to the devil himself that they bring home gold, that's how confident I am.
-Ara Abrahamian gets his just desserts for his unsportsmanlike behaviour. He's been stripped of his bronze medal for his little temper tantrum. What a loser, he should also receive a life-ban from any Olympic competition.
-Here's a name to remember for the near future - Ricky Rubio. At the age of 17, the kid already seems to have a bright future.
-J.P Riccardi is not gaining anymore fans in Canada, for his recent actions involving "supposed-to-be" olympian Scott Richmond, including Canadian baseball legend Stubby Clapp, who's reaction was a simple glare, and "No comment. No f---ing comment."
-An amusing video that sums up Aaron Rodgers' career with the Packers so far, starring Brett Favre, of course.
-Toss up: more likely to happen, Canada wins more than 10 olympic gold medals this year, or Ontario goes the last two weeks of August without rain?
-Mini rant: CTV needs to seriously get rid of E-Talk Daily, and Global with E.T Canada. One E.T is good enough. Canadian celebrities aren't nearly as interesting as their American counterparts, so let's stop pretending that they are.
