Saturday, November 8th, 2008 - Pulling a Michael Richards

-Idiot of the day: Buck Brunette for his attempt at humour using his Facebook status-incident, and rightfully getting himself booted off the Texas football team. Whether or not the guy is racist or not, the guy is definitely not the brightest tool in the cabinet.
-Am I the only one who thinks Allen Iverson + the Pistons = mediocrity, worse than the Nuggets type mediocrity?
-After what seemed to be the NHL's best impression of Tim Donaghy, the Toronto Maple Leafs made Carey Price their bitch in a 6-3 win over the Habitants on Saturday.
-The Atlanta Hawks are no longer the bottom feeders of the NBA - it's still early, but the they're 4-0 to start the season and the sounds heard in Philips Arena are no longer resembling that of a library.
-ESPN the Mag has Joey Logano, Matt Ryan, David Price, and Ricky Rubio as the nominees for 2009 NEXT Athlete. My vote goes to Rubio, the kid's a star in the making, even Dwyane Wade had good things to say about him.
-A strange war of words between Joey Porter and Matt Jones, where Porter used Jones as an example in questioning league suspensions and Jones firing back in an odd fashion, questioning his sexual orientation.
-Bud Selig wants absolutely no part of Mark Cuban and his top bid. I've said it once and I'll say it again, Mark Cuban could potentially transform the Chicago Cubs and maybe even make them a contender a la Dallas Mavericks franchise. And really, a little bit of sports controversy once in a while never killed anyone, Bud.
-Kirk Hinrich is out for 2-3 months, which sets the stage for rookie Derrick Rose to take over as floor general for the Bulls. Show us what 'cha got, kid.
-According to TMZ.com, Mike Piazza said (when asked about the A-Rod situation) that he could've had Madonna, but blew it. Does anyone really care?
-C.C Sabathia had a "private conversation" with Yankees' captain Derek Jeter in which it is said that C.C made the call. Jeter said that he did not make a recruiting pitch to the coveted lefty, but who in their right mind would believe this?
-LupE.N.D? Say it ain't so Lupe. Luckily he's going out with a triple album.

In cased you missed it, AI talks to Stephen A. Smith about the trade:

-I must say, the recent rumour of Barry Bonds to Tampa Bay, in light of Evan Longoria and Carl Crawford going down is almost laughable. Why the Rays would agree to this, and take the risk of possibly destroying what's been a completely magical and franchise-record breaking season, by adding Barroid to the mix is beyond me.
-I can't think of a sports superlative that can describe Usain Bolt's performance, and do it all of the justice it deserves. The guy is an incredible athlete and has the superstar swagger to boot.
-Finally Canada gets three medals, and one gold medal. Ironically that one gold came from a Vietnamese/Canadian.
-Team USA basketball pummeled Spain and showed the world that they're simply stronger, faster and just better than any other team in the world. I'd wager my soul to the devil himself that they bring home gold, that's how confident I am.
-Ara Abrahamian gets his just desserts for his unsportsmanlike behaviour. He's been stripped of his bronze medal for his little temper tantrum. What a loser, he should also receive a life-ban from any Olympic competition.
-Here's a name to remember for the near future - Ricky Rubio. At the age of 17, the kid already seems to have a bright future.
-J.P Riccardi is not gaining anymore fans in Canada, for his recent actions involving "supposed-to-be" olympian Scott Richmond, including Canadian baseball legend Stubby Clapp, who's reaction was a simple glare, and "No comment. No f---ing comment."
-An amusing video that sums up Aaron Rodgers' career with the Packers so far, starring Brett Favre, of course.
-Toss up: more likely to happen, Canada wins more than 10 olympic gold medals this year, or Ontario goes the last two weeks of August without rain?
-Mini rant: CTV needs to seriously get rid of E-Talk Daily, and Global with E.T Canada. One E.T is good enough. Canadian celebrities aren't nearly as interesting as their American counterparts, so let's stop pretending that they are.
