Sunday, November 16, 2008 - Die Hard

-The 2008 Michigan college football squad made history, by achieving the most losses ever in it's school's 129-year history.
-Lebron James is hoping that the New York Yankees will win the C.C Sabathia sweepstakes this offseason. As a side bar, at this point in time, does anyone in all honestly still believe that Lebron will be staying in Cleveland come '10 when he will be a free-agent?
-The Yankees have sold the rights to Darrell Rasner for $1 Million to a team in Japan, all of this, his doing apparently.
-Kimbo Slice
wants to translate his game from the octagon to the ring.
-So the man replacing Barry Mulletrose is Rick Tocchet. I think it's safe to say that this is move is a "gamble" by the front-office, wouldn't you agree? Puns aside, it sure isn't a smart move financially.
-Post-World Series victory celebration - the Philadelphia Phillies organization have increased ticket prices a couple of coins, and their fans can thank them for keeping the state of the economy into consideration when adjusting the prices.
-Proof that sporting legends will never die in spirit - a 1938 Babe Ruth, Brooklyn Dodgers uniform was recently auctioned off for $310,500 at the Louisville Slugger Museum.
-a herd of sixty-three men and three women hi-jacked a bus in Argentina to attend a soccer match on-time, even threatening the drivers with knives to drive faster - and in turn, redefined the definition of "die-hard fan". The bad news, they were all arrested and charged, but the good news? Their team, Chacarita, were victorious 3-2.
-Jeffrey Tambor of Arrested Development fame confirmed that, "we're doing it… it's a go".
