Saturday, September 13, 2008 - A Dying Breed

-Some of these stories may be old news, but it's been a while since I've done this so here we go...
-Michael Phelps says that he's more nervous for the SNL performance than swimming in the Olympics.
-Vince Young had suicidal thoughts according to his therapist. Again, we see that it sometimes just isn't easy, even for the rich and famous.
-An MLSE survey is saying that losing seasons, ticket prices and a few other factors have influenced the diminishing of the Blue and White fan base. Don't need a fancy survey to tell ya that much.
-Tom Brady is done for the season. Tough luck Pats fans, and all you bandwagoners from last year.
-The Jays were on a 9 game win streak... but in September. I don't care what anyone says, it's nice to see them finish strong. And because of their recent hot playing, they got some love from SI.com writers - concerning teams that would play the role of spoiler to some playoff teams.
-A physicist has done the calculations, and says that if Usain Bolt didn't showboat at the end of the 100-M Olympic final, he could possibly have finished the race in a mere 9.55 seconds. Incredible.
-Slovakia 82, Bulgaria 0, in an ice hockey match where they were outshot 139-0. That's gotta be the biggest beatdown in the history of hockey. Ever.
-Kobe's skipping pinkie surgery after seeking opinions from health/hand specialists. A small risk that could pay-off big time for the Lake Show, but at the same time could really be costly, if he re-aggravates it. But then again, I'm not a hand expert, nor have control over Kobe's desire to win a championship.
-Kevin Connolly, Leo DiCaprio and Tobey McGuire were at one point roomies. Who knew?
-Lindsay Lohan kissed a girl, and she liked it, apparently.
-Ric Flair's daughter was arrested recently. Here's here mug shot.
