I watched the documentary "Food Inc." yesterday and it makes me not want to eat any meat... or any other food I can buy at a grocery store. This could be the end of me!
How dare that Florida Gators football player take a shot at Tim Tebow and refer to his new QB as a "real quarterback". All I have to say is that player better watch out for lightning bolts because God is not happy with him.
Gilbert Arenas avoided jail time on those gun charges. He did get 400 hours of community service and 30 days in a halfway house though. I wonder if Arenas will teach the rest of the members of the halfway house how to shoot his guns? This may make him the coolest guy living there.
GM recalled 5,000 heavy duty vans. Will someone explain to me what a heavy duty van is?
An Atlanta Braves pitching prospect was just recently caught in a prostitution sting operation. Talk about 'throwing' away a dream... pun not intended.
The Vatican has strongly defended its decision not to defrock an American priest accused of molesting about 200 deaf boys in Wisconsin. The Vatican ruled that the alleged molestation occurred too long ago (mid-1990s) and that the ailing priest should not be tried. What a religion.... what an establishment.... what a Pope! Simply letting these old "holy" pedophiles get away with this makes me sick!
A bar in the Netherlands was fined $13.34 million for having too much weed. The bar had 440 pounds of it and the limit is 18-ounces. A tad too much I'd say.
Twins catcher Joe Mauer will stay in Minnesota after inking an 8-year, $184 million deal. For that deal I would stay in Somalia for 8 years. I wouldn't be happy about it, and I probably wouldn't survive... but I'd give it a try for that amount of money!
And on a final note, I blame my week-long writing absence on a combination of being really busy with work and March Madness taking over my life! And I probably won't be posting much more material in the next week or so because I'll be taking a little vacation to San Diego, Sedona and The Grand Canyon!
Business will be back to normal around April 7th.... unless my hot-air balloon ride over Sedona ends in tragedy. (fingers crossed that I survive and don't get caught in a wind storm)

Three Days Into The NCAA Tournament And I'm Already Feeling Like I Never Want To Fill Out A Bracket Again!
I'm going to make this post short and to the point. Here are the teams that I constantly pick to win games year-in and year-out in the NCAA Tournament and then they go out and fall on their faces:
Georgetown - You lost to Ohio. Not Ohio State.... Ohio University! You are a joke when it comes to stepping up in big games. So much for your Final Four run a few years ago. Now you are beginning to earn the title of "Tournament Chump".
Vanderbilt - Not only did you lose first round to Murray State, but then I had the bright idea to pick you to beat Butler in the next round. I really was going to pick Butler... until I had the hunch that Vanderbilt would actually do something in the Tournament. I should have known. Vanderbilt just isn't a sports school. Those students may be smart, but they also seem to crap their pants in the spotlight.
Minnesota - I now know why everybody says Tubby Smith isn't that good of a coach. He was essentially pushed out of Kentucky and the same may now happen to him in Minnesota. Good riddance I say!
Texas - It's amazing how far this team has fallen since the early part of the season. They were once considered the best team in the nation. We all should have known this was a farce because former Providence College coach Rick Barnes leads that team into battle. And he's never proven he can win big games.
Notre Dame - You would think a team with the mascot of "The Fighting Irish" would have some luck around St. Pattys Day.... not so much. This team constantly under-achieves in the Tournament.
Louisville - I definitely would have liked to see a Duke (Coach K) vs. Louisville (Coach Pitino) second round matchup, but I'm overall happy that Pitino's team lost. Slick Rick doesn't deserve success in the tournament this year after the big sex scandal he was involved in. It seems that sex scandals are becoming more and more common in the news. Examples: Tiger Woods, Eliot Spitzer, Catholic Priests, John Edwards.... the list goes on and on.
I want to know how Ron Washington, manager of the Texas Rangers, can keep his job after admitting to Cocaine and other drug use last season? I'm pretty sure that wouldn't fly at other companies. Then again, the world of professional sports is as F*cked as politics and Wall Street.
And on a final note... after watching the first few days of March Madness, I officially want Cornell to win it all! Those guys really know how to play... and play the right way. They pass great, shoot great, and play tremendous help defense. It also doesn't hurt that they have a 7-foot center who isn't a complete stiff. He is agile and really talented. Furthermore, sharp-shooter Ryan Whittman really knows how to stroke it. It'd be great to see a team from the Ivy League actually make a legit run in the tourney.
Until next time...

Tiger Woods Announces He'll Play At "The Masters"... And Many Many More Topics!
First things first. Tiger Woods has announced that his 2010 PGA season will begin at "The Masters". I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so. I hope Tiger lost all of his golfing ability and resorts to playing in Mini-Golf Putt-Putt tournaments from now on.
The Notre Dame men's basketball team took an 18 hour bus ride back to South Bend after losing in the Big East Tournament. They did this because the horrible wind and rain this past weekend made flying out of NYC very difficult. Yet, after that long of a bus ride with the only movie available to watch being Nicolas Cage's "Knowing"... I think the Fighting Irish would rather have just walked the entire way.
A fake Georgian broadcast (the country, not the US state), which claimed that Russia was invading, led to panic and hysteria throughout the country. That is 2 weeks too early for April Fools Day!
The University of Rhode Island missed the damn NCAA Tournament again! Even though the NIT means nothing, I guess I'll go watch URI if they make it to the Final Four at Madison Square Garden. Providence College and URI haven't done anything worthy in the NCAA Tournament in like 10 years! I guess I'll just keep hope that the Ivy League's Brown University will eventually represent RI in March Madness.
Great news! K-Fed is now beginning to open up about life after Britney. This is the moment I've been waiting for... for such a long time. I almost can't sleep at night thinking about all of the interesting and life-shattering details.
The Yankees' "God Bless America" singer, who left NY after making anti-semitic remarks, has been seen wearing a Red Sox jersey. It took him awhile, but at least he came to his senses.
David Beckham will miss the World Cup due to an injured Achilles. All those ladies in South Africa aren't going to be happy about this news. Nobody quite "bends it" like Beckham.
LT will bring his "Electric Glide" and Over-30 running back body to the J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS! The Pats vs. Jets games next year just got even more interesting!
Okay lets sum up what the Cleveland Browns have done recently. They sent QB Brady Quinn to the Broncos and released QB Derek Anderson. The Browns then signed QBs Jake Delhomme and Seneca Wallace. A lot of things happened there in the QB department, but I'm not sure the Browns got any better. I think the city of Cleveland is going to have to wait a few more years before the Browns are relevant again.
The Denver Broncos new QB Brady Quinn says that he wants to start for the team... yea and I want to be a movie star. You have to prove that you're worthy first my friend... or just get lucky.
The man who stalked ESPN reporter Erin Andrews received 2.5 years behind bars. I wonder if he'll be drilling any peep holes in prison? I'm sure his neighbors won't look quite like Erin Andrews did.
The Illinois men's basketball team is seeded # 1 in the NIT yet can't host a first-round game because Cirque du Soleil is performing in the arena this week. That certainly is a kick to the nuts of everyone involved with the basketball program and its' fans. That seems like it would be something that would happen to Emerson College pre-2007 (when we didn't even have our own gym yet).
After a tremendous 183-year run, the annual Whitsun cheese-rolling event in England has been canceled for safety reasons. This is a national tragedy indeed. The English greatly look forward to dangerously running down a steep hill while chasing after a round rolling block of cheese every year. I guess the country's value of the game of soccer just got raised even higher.
Mike Tyson will apparently have his own reality show on the Animal Planet. I don't care what it's about (although I heard it has to do with racing pigeons), but I'll give it a chance because Tyson is Must-See-TV!
Two first-round NCAA Tournament games I can't wait to see are # 1 Syracuse vs. # 16 Vermont... and # 5 Temple vs. # 12 Cornell. Why you ask? Well no 16-seed has ever beaten a 1-seed, yet Vermont beat Syracuse in the NCAA Tournament like 5 years ago when the match-up was #14 vs. # 3. Can the same type of thing happen again this year with the stakes even higher, or will Syracuse get some revenge against those damn Catamounts?!
You always have to route for the Ivy League because they never really get any college basketball love. But this year's Cornell team is capable of actually making a deep tourney run. They have a solid team who almost beat Kansas at Kansas earlier in the season. Yet a solid Temple team led by the amazing Fernandez kid will have something to say about that. This game will feature great fundamentals and some sweet passes.
My picks.... Syracuse keeps the 16-seed losing streak alive as they man handle Vermont and Cornell uses their brains (imagine that) to edge Temple in a close one. Let the games begin!

March Madness Is Upon Us! And This Edition Doesn't Have Anything To Do With College Basketball...
The Boston Celtics look older and older as the season goes on. By playoff time the "Big 3" may be residing in a nursing home. I'm still keeping hope that they're just conserving energy, but perhaps age is really catching up with them.
Lindsay Lohan is suing E-Trade for $100 million for using the name "Lindsay" in their new baby commercial. She feels that Lindsay is her name recognition and is equivalent to Oprah and Madonna. If she happens to win this suit, then I plan to sue every production that uses the name Ryan in it.
Recent reports say that Tiger Woods is close to returning to golf. I knew he'd be back in time for The Masters, but this is even earlier! He must be so sick of being with his wife and kids that he needs to get back to doing what he does best.... play golf and have sex. Tiger also hired Ari Fleischer (former Bush White House spokesperson) to repair his image. Trying to make excuses for the actions of Bush and then Tiger is not an easy job.
The NY Mets' Jose Reyes is expected to be out 2-8 weeks with thyroid problems. HGH is known to be a cause of thyroid problems and there has been recent reports that Reyes is linked to a Canadian doctor who prescribed HGH to his clients. It all makes sense now, eh?
Three more aftershock earthquakes struck Chile yesterday. They were all in the 6-point range on the Richter Scale. Although this is off the charts on the Unfair Scale.
There is a recent report that many 12 year-olds (in a certain city in America) are abusing inhalants. I only remember dodgeball and climbing trees at that age. Sniffing certain products to get a high just never seemed like a good idea. Although now that I think about it, my brother was always constantly buying highlighters. I just figured it helped him with his school work. Hmmm?
Reports say that divorced men are more suicidal than married men. I feel like without wives around to constantly harass these men, they should value life more. Yet, maybe these men finally realize that PBJ sandwiches and Ramen Noodles aren't a sufficient food source and feel like there is no light at the end of the tunnel.
A Kansas City superintendent wants to close half the schools in the city because of money constraints. "Schools... out... for...ever"! Clumping 18 year-old seniors in with 6 year-old first graders doesn't seem like a bright idea. Talk about the younger kids getting stuffed in lockers, losing their lunch money and getting swirlies.... this will be like feeding a mouse to a snake.
A Mississippi high school is being sued after canceling the prom rather than allow a Lesbian couple to attend. That seems like a fair action to take. Punish everyone for the school districts disapproval of two students. Lets all welcome Mississippi to the year 2010. Strangely enough, the prom's final song of the night was set to be Katie Perry's "I kissed a girl and I liked it".
Another 30-something female teacher (who is married with a few kids) has admitted to having sex with a 14 year-old boy who was her student. Where were all these fairly attractive female teachers when I was going to school? Why do all the good things happen after I graduate?!
Tim Tebow scored below average for QBs on the "Wonderlic Test". It's not a big deal though because angels never do well on standardized tests. Tennessee Titans' QB Vince Young scored like a 3 on that test and he continues to do well in the NFL when he's given the opportunity. Forget the test results, let's see how Tebow does when he gets in a game.
The Angels' Tori Hunter made some inappropriate comments about Latino players in MLB. It will be interesting to see if his Latino teammates hold a grudge. And it will be even more interesting to see the first few times Hunter faces Latino pitchers. Can you say "bean ball"? According to Hunter, the Latino players can't.... and they'll also sign contracts for "bags of chips"

Lots Of Topics To Cover On This Monday Edition!
The Knicks lost to the lowly Nets this weekend at MSG. Worse than losing to them was the fact that the Knicks shot 0-for-18 from 3-pt land. It looks like the Nets won't be making any history this season now that they are just 3 wins shy of getting to the elusive 10 victories... which makes them safe from "pathetic" sports history. Although winning only 10-20 games in a full NBA season is pretty pathetic any way you look at it.
Cleveland set the "Snuggie" World Record on Friday night as almost 20,000 Cavs fans wore the snuggies for 5 minutes. I guess logic says that if they can't win the NBA title this season with LeBron and Shaq, then at least they can hold the title for most Snuggies worn! And that is almost just as good.
Lakers coach Phil Jackson said Pau Gasol was "weak and sickly" when describing his performance in the Lakers last two losses. When Gasol was informed of this, he said that Coach Jackson was "an idiot and a major dick" during those two losses and then Gasol blew his nose.
Big Ben Roethlisberger seems like he could be in some deep shit as he gets accused of sexual assault a 2nd time. Stay outta the deep South! And quick molesting women while your at it.
The Jets' Antonio Cromartie has 7 kids by 6 women in 5 states. He needed his signing bonus money up front to pay for kids and court fees. That right there is an example of irresponsibility at its finest. Didn't he ever hear the expression, "Don't go jumping without your parachute"? There's nothing quite like taking all the NFL money your making and dispersing it among your 7 kids and 6 baby mamas in 5 states! Cromartie must be a big fan of headaches.
If the Lakers' Ron Artest gets a little more goofy on the court and in life, then we may have to say that he is morphing into Dennis Rodman.
Tiger Woods changed his cell number 5 times in 2009. I've had the same phone number for 7 years. Granted I wasn't banging 20 ladies at once!
Scientists reaffirm the theory that a giant asteroid killed the dinosaurs. The asteroid's impact was more powerful than all the atomic weapons on the planet all going off at once. That is the official winner of the "shot heard round the world"!
A pre-dawn 5.8 magnitude earthquake hit Turkey and collapsed homes and killed upwards of 50 people so far. Is the end of the world coming or what? It sure seems like it's close.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claims that 9/11 was a lie. First he wants Israel "wiped off the map", then he denies the Holocaust and now he says 9/11 was intentionally planned to give the U.S. an excuse to invade Afghanistan. I bet he thinks OJ is innocent too.
The ratings for the NHL are still dismal despite the popularity of the Winter Olympic hockey games. Playoffs will bring excitement, but the regular season just won't do it for most sports fans. It once again shows that the NFL, NBA and MLB are the Three Kings of Sports.
It appears that Allen Iverson has alcohol and gambling problems. Things are serious now because we're not talking about practice... we're talking about real life problems. Not the game, not the game, not the game..... we're talking about real life problems. Good luck Allen.
Michael Vick will receive a $1.5 million roster bonus. I wish he would receive another 1.5 years behind bars for killing all those dogs.
A pet leopard has attacked it's female owner. With all the animals out there that you could have as a pet... this lady chooses a leopard!
A woman recently tweeted during her abortion. This makes me feel that she probably wouldn't have been a good mother anyway. Just a hunch.
Until next time...

A Haymaker In Women's Basketball, Manny Pacquiao Serenades Us, And Tyson Vs. Holyfield 3?
Former Spur Michael Finley will soon play for the Celtics. Why are the Celtics getting another player in his late 30s who only shoots 3's?! I'm pretty sure that if he was any bit useful towards a playoff run, then the Spurs would have kept him. Good luck to Doc Rivers trying to figure out his playing time and where he may fit in with the team.
Brittany Griner, a basketball player on Baylor's women's team, threw a hay-maker at an opponent in a game two nights ago. There was only minor injuries to the girl's face because Griner throws a punch like a girl. Yet I wouldn't mess with her because she is 6'8" and scares me. Griner only received a 2 game suspension for this incident. I wonder if that has anything to do with the playoffs coming up?
Where did those giant killer waves come from in the Mediterranean? Was it a mini tsunami or a sneaky Russian submarine? Lets blame Russia for this one! Although it seems more and more that Mother Nature is throwing us some strange occurrences nowadays.
Breaking News: Brett Favre was on the "Tonight Show" last night and claimed that he was still undecided about returning to the NFL! That's simply riveting news!
The NY Jets traded for former All-Pro San Diego Charger Antonio Cromartie. He now teams up with shut-down cornerback Darrelle Revis. Ouch! That trade makes the Jets secondary very difficult to throw against. Yet if the Patriots' Wes Welker comes back healthy, he'll always find openings. Those Jets/Pats games next year are going to be a battle... and may just determine who wins the AFC East.
A 6.8 magnitude aftershock rattled Chile. It's time for these natural disasters to give Chile a break and focus on the Iranian regime.
Passenger ships are stuck in Baltic Sea ice. I feel like this could be a perfect "Snickers" commercial... "Not going any where for awhile, then grab a Snickers"!
Don King is trying to get a "Tyson vs. Holyfield 3" boxing match. Strangely enough, this circus side-show could help boxing out. I think it would be interesting to watch, assuming Tyson leaves Holyfield's ears alone. The winner should then have to fight George Foreman for the best "Washed-Up and Aging Ex-Champion" title.
Michael Jordan only paid $175 million to buy the Charlotte Bobcats. That's $125 million less than what the previous owner paid. Could you imagine losing $125 million on the Charlotte Bobcats?! I know the NBA isn't doing well, but what a horrible investment.
What's up with Manny Pacquiao showing off his singing pipes on "Jimmy Kimmel Live"? That's the 2nd time he's done that since November. Maybe he'll actually give up boxing and try his luck on a future "American Idol". I wonder if the judges would be too afraid to be critical of his performance though. He definitely could use some voice lessons if you ask me.
And on a final note, it's nice to see that the University of Rhode Island is on almost every college basketball analysts' list to make the NCAA Tournament. Although that could change if they lose on Saturday to UMASS and then fall on their face in the A-10 Tournament. That seems to be what has been happening to them the last few seasons. Hopefully this year will be different because it has been awhile since us Rhode Islanders have had a team in the "Big Dance" to cheer for. Oh the days of PC's God Shamgod and URI's Catino Mobley and Tyson Wheeler!
Brittany Griner, a basketball player on Baylor's women's team, threw a hay-maker at an opponent in a game two nights ago. There was only minor injuries to the girl's face because Griner throws a punch like a girl. Yet I wouldn't mess with her because she is 6'8" and scares me. Griner only received a 2 game suspension for this incident. I wonder if that has anything to do with the playoffs coming up?
Where did those giant killer waves come from in the Mediterranean? Was it a mini tsunami or a sneaky Russian submarine? Lets blame Russia for this one! Although it seems more and more that Mother Nature is throwing us some strange occurrences nowadays.
Breaking News: Brett Favre was on the "Tonight Show" last night and claimed that he was still undecided about returning to the NFL! That's simply riveting news!
The NY Jets traded for former All-Pro San Diego Charger Antonio Cromartie. He now teams up with shut-down cornerback Darrelle Revis. Ouch! That trade makes the Jets secondary very difficult to throw against. Yet if the Patriots' Wes Welker comes back healthy, he'll always find openings. Those Jets/Pats games next year are going to be a battle... and may just determine who wins the AFC East.
A 6.8 magnitude aftershock rattled Chile. It's time for these natural disasters to give Chile a break and focus on the Iranian regime.

A Few Topics To Get You Over "The Hump Day"...
Kentucky coach John Calipari will soon have his face on rum bottles in the "blue grass" state. Any way you look at it, it's better than having your face on a milk carton. Calipari's resume may be missing a National Championship, but at least he's not missing.
LeBron James will no longer wear the number 23 in honor of Michael Jordan. He feels the league should retire that number in Jordan's honor. So LeBron is going to start wearing number 6... his Olympic number. The problem is 6 is the number that Celtic great Bill Russell wore. And if the NBA is going to retire 23 in honor of Jordan, then they certainly have to retire 6 in honor of Bill Russell. He only won 11 titles!
Celtic TV analyst and former great Tommy Heinsohn smooched Maria Menounos on the lips during a game the other day! He gets a Tommy Point for that one most definitely!
Tiger Woods has left rehab and returned home.... LET THE SEX PARTIES BEGIN!!!
Babies will be allowed to hang out in one Brooklyn bar very soon. I wonder if you'll be able to get baby formula on tap? And will bar pacifiers be as common as bar nuts there?
The United States Postal Service is going to cut 30,000 jobs. But worse news than that is they're contemplating ending Saturday service!!! I guess we are all going to have to get used to receiving our birthday cards a few days late.... thanks a lot USPS.
Erin Andrews is going to be on the new season of "Dancing With The Stars". I know this news pleases the guy who stalked her very very much! It also pleases many other men who will become "DWTS" fans soon.
The New York Jets released RB Thomas Jones after a stellar couple of seasons. Some teammates didn't like the move... others said Thomas who?
Now that Michael Jordan has taken over the Charlotte Bobcats, there is talk that the "Bobcats" name may be a thing of the past. They should never have been called that to begin with. What are they a cartoon? The two leading choices for the new name are the "Jordans" or the "Nikes".
Until next time...
