Quick Hits - 1/27

Finishing up on some of the major stories over the past week...

Tom Brady one of 4 billion people not in the Patriots locker room

How is it a story that Tom Brady isn't in the locker room for 2 days. Two points. One, if you were dating Giselle, would you rather be home with her naked or with 53 other guys naked while other guys ask you questions? And two, you know who else wasn't in the locker room those days? Myself, Gary Coleman, some guy named Brad, a lava lamp, and Randy Moss's favorite Minneapolis cop he ran over. Why are these not stories then? You also might say to me, well hey dude, there are now 5 billion people in the world, not 4 billion. And you would be right, but usually at any Patriots outing/newsconference/lockerroom, well anytime they are not sleeping, there are at least 1 billion reporters, sportswriters, TMZ photographers, ladies of the night, groupies, people that have restraining orders against Randy Moss and people that want to punch Belicheck in the face in the vicinity.

Red Sox are the first to sell their souls twice

It is being reported that the Red Sox will sell ad space on their uniforms for a series in Japan. Sure they will get some money, but my question is: What company in their right mind would buy this space knowing that every true fan would now hate your company? I can see some fresh new executive in his or her first meeting trying to make an impression saying "I know we will piss off 100 million people but we will get to be on TV a lot, and people always buy stuff that's on TV, see look at my Ronco Knife that can cut through this table"

Tim Donaghy wins another bet

It was reported that NBA Referee Tim Donaghy's sentencing for gambling has been rescheduled for April thus netting him a cool $400 bucks as he had April in the pool with his other referee buddies as to when he will be sentenced.

Canseco somehow becomes an even bigger ass

You thought Canseco had sunk to the lowest of lows to remain relevant, well you were wrong. It is now being reported that he told Magglio Ordonez to invest in his movie project or he would put him in his next book about people who he thinks may have used steroids so it must be true. One, Canseco never played with Magglio so how could he know if he ever did steroids. Two, why would he pick the only female player to go after and three, what exactly is this project? I am pretty sure the Academy Awards won't be considering this movie so i guess he is trying to become a bigger movie star that Brian Bosworth, which would involve selling at least one ticket to the movie.

Alright, that is it for now...have a few more to comment on, but i will wait for now as i have another feature/running theme that i may introduce next week...
