...while wondering what ever happened to Mike Evans

Big props to New York State, poised to legalize ticket scalping. Think about it. You buy a stamp. Its value increases. You sell it for a profit. Perfectly legal. Perfectly sensible. Hell, you’re an entrapeneur. How is a ticket to the Islanders
/Bruins different? Besides, it’s be de facto legal anyway for a while now. How is StubHub or any other ticket “resale” entity that jacks up
the face value with a “service charge” any different than the dude in the parking lot at Shea
getting fifty bucks for a $23 seat? Now about those beer prices…You know, we’re no fan of Alex Rodriguez
, but he caused Totronto Blue Jays third baseman Howie Clark to win this week’s Homer Simpson D’oh! Award. Rodriguez
was on base in the ninth inning when Jorge Posada hit a pop fly to the left side of the infield. Passing Clark, Gay-Rod
yelled, “I got it”. Clark backed off, the ball dropped in for a single, Toronto loses the game. D’oh! Bush
league? Of course, but so was falling for it. Waaaaaa…Congratulations to former Sixer Marc Iavaroni on his being hired as the new head coach f the Memphis Grizz. After years of toiling on the bench, waiting for his shot, we’ll now get the chance to know, (you know it’s coming), the truth about 'roni
...This just in from the That didn’t Do a Damn Bit of Good department: The struggling Chicago Cubs, (redundant, we know), held a players-only meeting before their game on Wednesday versus the Florida Marlins. Then proceded to drop the game 9-0…Idiot of the week goes to Mark McGowan of England who, as a protest against the alleged cruelty to animals practiced by the Roayal Family, set up a table in downtown London and ate a dog. Which brings two thoughts: 1) Thank God the Queen doesn’t beat small children
. 2) How much did Michael Vick
get for the dog?...It works out well that Lake Show owner Dr. Jerry Buss was arrested for DUI the other morning, (yes, we said morning), because him being drunk off his ass
is the only way he’s trading Kobe…This week’s Yahoo Four-Star songs:

1) Jane Wiedlin Rush Hour Fur 1988
2) Jimmy Eat World If You Don't, Don't
Bleed American 2001
3) Patti Smith Everybody Wants to Rule the World
2007
4) Billy Joel Summer, Highland Falls
Songs in the Attic 1981
5) Nat King Cole Mona Lisa
Unforgettable 1954

…Laura Mallory, a bored soccer mom
in suburban Atlanta, is campaigning to have Harry Potter books removed from her child’s middle school library because they promote witchcraft. She clearly missed the memo we all got advising us that witches
aren’t real…Ewa Sowinski, of Warsau, Poland is asking psychologists to investigate whether Tinky WInky the Teletubby is gay
. Again, not real
…Hot purchase of the upcoming holiday season? The 2008 Men of Mortuary calendar. I promise we don’t make this
stuff up…Ashli McCall of Kissimi, Florida got pregnant and began to experience morning sickness. She couldn’t handle it, so she had an abortion. In a related story, teachers are amazed at the sudden, unexplained perfect behavior of ten year-old student Emil McCall…Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver gets our vote right now for 2008 NBA Executive of the Year, for hiring Steve Kerr
as President and General Manager. Because we won't have to watch him on TNT anymore...According to the AP wire, a second round U.S. military resupply flights for the Lebanon’s armed forces have begun arriving in Beirut, which points out yet another inconsistency of the Bush administration. It’s just blatant sexism when we eschew gay rights, yet support the Lebanese
…Speaking of Lebanese, how long until the Paris Skankton/Lindsey Blowhan prison porn video hits youtube?...Creekstone Farms Premium Beef, of Kansas wants to test all of its cattle for mad cow
disease. And the president wants to stop them. The rationale is that if Creekstone does the testing, it might force larger companies to follow suit. Now we wouldn’t want all that safety
, now would we?…In another stroke of genius, the Administration has rejected the European Union’s proposed carbon emissions-reduction target, stating the United States prefers, “setting targets in the context of national circumstances”, apparently not receiving the memo we all got, advising us the world is round and we all share the same air…As Barry Bonds approached Hank Aaron’s record, we have only one thing to say: ACL
…Warner Brothers and Universal Orlando Resort are teaming up to create a Harry Potter theme park in central Florida. It’s due to open in 2009. No word on Laura Mallory’s response...and Finally, to further show we're not the only ones to be uniform-obsessed, this
article shows there's a whole freaking city of us!

Until next time,

We apologize in advance for any errors. blogger.com's hyperling module is down again and we had to hand-type in all the code.

Spell-check's down too, so we know the post is mangled.

Also, when we google, "Steve Kerr Sucks", why does this come up?
