Sox Will Take the Fifth---If They Can Find One
Random thoughts while wondering what ever happened to J.P. Bourdeleau:
- The White Sox still can't get it together in spring training. The bad news is the fifth starter search has now been expanded to four pitchers, none of them with significant experience or talent. The good news is Scott Podsednik may be healthy. And, please Kenny, DO NOT trade for Brady Clark as has been rumored. The guy is a right handed Jeff Liefer.
- Oh my goodness. Jerry Angelo actually did something. Too bad Adam Archuleta isn't a defensive tackle.
- Rex Grossman says he had good games and bad games and would like to have some things that went wrong in the Super Bowl back. Many Bear fans would like to have the 22nd pick of the 2003 draft back.
- Yesterday, I talked about people who got second chances after crashing and burning somewhere else. Add to that Rich Brooks and Bruce Drennan.
- I would love to know the nature of the relationship between Bob Uecker and his stalker. I hope for Ueck's sake he doesn't own a pet bunny.
- ESPN considers themselves "the decider" when it comes to what is relevant content. Do you honestly believe they would care about the Arena Football League if they didn't have a piece of it? That's why, a lot of what you hear and see on Sportscenter is shaped by who ESPN is in bed with which is exactly why I don't watch Sportscenter.
- The University of Iowa is buying up all the domain names that may be used to take shots at their athletic program. One they didn't get was firestevealford.com
- It seems you can't even honor a legend anymore without having to hire a lawyer.
- The CEO of Delta wants to give his big stock bonus back to the employees in the form of scholarships and emergency funds. Finally, a guy who sits in a corner office that gets it.
- California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger says that Rush Limbaugh is "irrelevant." Pundits say Rush is losing his power. Kids, the power never rested with Rush, but with his audience. And last time I looked, he still has a big one.
- When someone with a large, metal vehicle asks you to move, best do so or become a hood ornament.
- McDonald's is unhappy with the term "McJob" and wants to have it removed from the Oxford English Dictionary. They wish to have it replaced with "Wal-job."
- If rates for advertising are negotiated by the number of people actually watching the commercials instead of the number of people watching a show, networks will lose millions. That, and local car dealers and the Empire Carpet guy will get on for a dollar because nobody watches those commercials.
- Food for thought the next time you order sesame chicken. We're all going to die some day and if I go immediately after consuming steak kow and crab Rangoon, I'll be more than okay with it.
