Saturday, November 15, 2008 - Bush League Humour

-Suspensions were handed out for the PHX-HOU brawl, and somewhat surprisingly, Shaquille O'Neal escaped with just a slap on the wrist fine. Perhaps David Stern is getting soft? Whatever the case, expect a few boo-birds come all-star weekend.
-In college football related news, five Florida State players were suspended for the recent campus brawl, but what really caught my eye when reading the article was "...female bystander who wasn't involved in the fight, which broke out at the university's student union, was struck in the face by a thrown chair."
-One of C.C Sabathia's good friends is newly acquired Yankee, Nick Swisher. Take it for what it's worth.
-George W. Bush showing us Sparky's pitchfork. I find it funny that not a single person suggested that it might be in bad taste to post this image on the official White House website of all places.
-Michael Phelps was the only athlete to make it onto EW.com's list of Top 25 Entertainers of '08.
-The Auburn Tigers' trainers have continuously played the song Crank That to motivate the team, as that is Georgia's anthem. That would be freaking torture.
-Some of the more unique NBA promotions going on this year that might interest you...
-Kwame Brown said with a smile (on the Los Angeles crowd booing him): ''They booed me when I was here.''
-
The Tampa Bay Lightning have fired Barry Melrose in what was said to be a "tough decision" just 16 games into the season. I never see the logic in firing a head coach just weeks into the season, especially one who's been out of the coaching limelight for what 14 years? Unless they're completely brain dead like a certain Toronto basketball coach, it's never a good move.

Everybody's boy, Terrell Owens presents Letterman's Top 10 - #3 is priceless:
