Friday, November 14, 2008 - The Big Cameo

-Michael Vick is expecting to rejoin the NFL after doing his time in the clink, this according to his bankruptcy lawyer.
-You have but 6 words to explain why you should join Michael Jordan on the golf course. Better make 'em count.
-Big brawl in the desert of Phoenix the other night with the Rockets coming to town. A chain reaction of shoves with Shaq being in the middle of it all, brushing aside anyone in a red jersey with just a flick of his finger and T-Mac seemingly got the worst of the scuffle as he was shoved by the Big Cactus, then had his teammate Yao fall on top of him.
-Silver Slugger awards were announced, A-Rod picks up his 10th career and a quite few notable first-timers in both leagues.
-The audience of Judge Greg Mathis got a pleasant surprise with Shaq making a cameo, and getting extra points for spending time with a woman who suffered from Down Syndrome.
-Cliff Lee wins the AL Cy Young, the Doc placed second with 71 points to Lee's 24 first-place votes and 132 total. What a season it was for Cliff Lee, though, coming literally out of nowhere to claim the award of excellence.
-Jerry Jones is certain that the Dallas Cowboys will make the playoffs this year, will not make any coaching changes and would gladly welcome back Pacman Jones if reinstated. Now there's a mouthfull.
-With the acquisition of Nick Swisher - it appears as though the Pin Stripes are out of the Texeira sweepstakes and looking to devote all attention to C.C Sabathia. Reports are indicating that the Yankees are planning on "blowing C.C Sabathia away" with a ridiculous contract rumoured to be $25 million more than what any NL (and AL) team could offer.
-Don't look now, but the once dreaded Texas Triangle of the NBA is no not quite as dreaded anymore. The teams' combined record is an ugly 9-13. And to really kick a soldier when he's down, the lowly Memphis Grizzlies are doing better than both the Mavs and Spurs.
-Mike "I'm hetero" Piazza is set to write an autobiography due to release in 2010.
-The Madonna-A-Rod saga continues with old-fashioned love notes being found, which leads one to believe that this "discovery" was planned, in a world where cell phones and text-messaging has made the old pen and paper obsolete.
