Sunday, November 23, 2008 - Personal

-Early Sunday start for the Toronto Raptors as they host the Celtics at the ACC. Props to Jin from Raptorschat for the inspiring graphic.
-Quirky fact of the day: Manchester United's Gary Neville's father's first name is Neville.
-The New England Patriots are 6-0 in games where they have won the coin toss, and 0-4 in ones that they did not.
-Not nearly as hyped as the Superbowl, but Canada's own Grey Cup kicks off tonight - Canadians can watch the game online.
-Wendel Clark Night is a huge rip-off of the Yankees' Jason Giambi mustache promo. And retiring the jersey of a blue collar fan favourite, c'mon, who's next Tie Domi? Just for that, I'm glad the Leafs lost. And how fitting it was, that they used the song Dream On to go along with the "highlights" of #17's career.
-P.J Carlesimo was fired by the Oklahoma City Thunder after a dismal 1-12 start for the newly named franchise. I guess you could say he "choked".
-Michael Vick put family pets in rings with pit bulls and "found it funny" when they would get seriously injured according to a witness. This man is just seriously disturbed.
-Idiot(s) of the day goes to the students tossing snowballs at the Notre Dame football players in the game against Syracuse. And it didn't just stop there, the tools started to throw them at the NBC cameramen and even the county police officers. How on earth do these jackasses get into college?
-Stephon Marbury "refused" to suit up when the Knicks were with all but seven players after the big day of trades, according to Mike D'Antoni, but Starbury has a different take on the story.
-Terrell Owens is standing by his criticisms of the Cowboys' offensive schemes and how adjustments haven't been made to adapt to teams. Toss up: who's the bigger problem to their team at this point, T.O or Ocho Cinco?
