Sam Mitchell has been FIRED! My (and I'm sure the majority of Raptor fans alike) response? I think Johnny Drama of Entourage sums it up nicely in this clip.

And here's a link that's worth a visit, for at least half a chuckle...

Wednesday, September 3, 2008 - Pacman Likes Him Some Hooters

-U of T defeated U of Waterloo in CIS football to end their drought of 49 games without a win. Now that's a long losing streak.
-An article titled Vincent Lecavalier hopes to be ready (for the regular season), for his ridiculous contract's sake, he better be...
-B.J Ryan sure knows how to make the end of games interesting doesn't he?
-I swear that I didn't see the NBA.com headline about Patrick Ewing Jr. with the same cliche.
-Michael Phelps will be making a cameo in a future episode of one of the better shows on television, Entourage. The show returns September 7th - note to self, get HBO.
-KC Royals GM is promising major changes before next season's spring training. I think we, and all 10 of the Royals' fans, have heard that line one too many times to deem it credible at this point.
-Roy Halladay was one of four pitchers to take 4 games from the boys in pinstripes at Yankee Stadium in their stadium history.
-Canadian Jamaal Magloire has signed with the Miami Heat, hoping to revitalize his hurtin' NBA career - and get back on track with help from Dwyane Wade, Michael Beasley and Shawn Marion. Side bar, two Canadians on one roster, is that a first?
-Where was Pacman Jones at the time of when he was reinstated? A Hooters restaurant.
-According to this guy's blog, the name of the Oklahoma City team will be the Thunder. The other choices for the team name were equally brutal, I mean the Marshalls? Even the Raptors are a better team name.
-Video of the day/week - classic PTI moment with Phil Jackson, commenting on the then recent Kwame Brown trade...

Thursday, August 14, 2008 - Everything Going Swimmingly for USA

-An Ashley Simpson/Milli Vanilli moment at the Olympics, which is possibly the biggest stage you could attempt to pull that stunt on. High risk, low reward - and definitely not worth it...
-Spain should fire their marketing team for that recent fiasco. Tells a lot about the intelligence of Team Spain basketball, that not one of them suggested that the gesture was possibly a bad idea.
-Is Michael Phelps good or what? Chinese viewers have dubbed him as the "flying fish" for his agility in the water, I'd replace the first word with Golden. Side
note, the guy consumes about 12,000 calories a day. Crazy stat.
-Canada currently has less Olympic medals than Vietnam - a country with just one silver medal at this moment. I'll let you do the math on that one...
-The Tampa Bay Rays will be without all-star Carl Crawford for about 6-8 weels as he will be undergoing surgery on his right hand.
-A Chinese soccer player on the women's team is named Yu Suk.
-The Russian and Georgian beach volleyball teams showed that the game had not political undertones as they hugged before the match.
-Sports Illustrated's Marty Burns ranked the Toronto Raptors at 7th in the Eastern Conference and surprisingly one rank lower than the Detroit Pistons.
-This week's edition of SI.com's Pop Culture Hot List included an Entourage reference, so I thought I'd post it here. Regarding LeBron bolting to Europe for the cash: "You know the only thing I keep thinking about when I hear King James might bolt the NBA for a Russian or Greek team willing to pay him $50 million a year? The season finale of Entourage where Ari and Vince would rather sell Medillin to an Oscar-winning studio for $35 million than to an unknown like Yair Marx for $75 million. Nicky Rubenstein went for the money and ended up looking like a fool. As cliché as it may sound, sometimes there are more important things in life than money."
