Blurbs!

• Mike Vick's possible involvement in underground dog fighting has many questioning what the NFL will do when it's first big star gets into legal trouble. Chances are, Goodell will hold a meeting with him, suspend him for 4 games, but he'll still be eligible for MVP and Pro Bowl honors. Example: Shawne Merriman, 2006.
• New York Mets top prospect Lastings Milledge has again managed to irritate the team, the organization and the fans. If you're wondering how Milledge pulled this off while being on the DL in AAA, you aren't alone. He is releasing a rap CD which holds a song named "Bend Ya Knees" that contains a racist term towards blacks and derogatory remarks towards women. I'm just wondering why the Mets organization isn't proud of him taking responsiblity. It's starting to look like he will be a complete bust in baseball, so I don't blame him for finding a fall back career in which he can make it rain.
• Because the NBA has decided to challenge the NFL for the status of most hardcore, power hungry league [MHPHL], David Stern suspended Suns front men Boris Diaw and Amare Stoudemire for leaving the bench during a brawl. The move drew great ire from around the country, and many people are calling for removement of the rule that bans players from leaving the bench during a brawl. If I were Diaw or Stoudemire, I'd be outraged. Not at David Stern, but the timing of it all. They played most of the game, just waiting for something to happen, and they happen to be on the bench for the brawl. Schucks.
• It was announced the other day the U.S. Men's Soccer Interim Head Coach Bob Bradley had the 'interim' tag taken off and was declared head coach. The move had many Americans questioning, "Who the hell is Bob Bradley and what happened to Landon Donovan?"
• Playing for the Texas Rangers, Sammy Sosa is now three home runs away from number 600. This news prompted many philosophers to ponder the question, "If an aging star reaches a career milestone that nobody cares about, does it really matter?"
• Roger Clemens was bought by the Yankees. The equivalent to that is like selling your soul to the devil. But now, Roger has angered the devil. His curse? The same as any other Yankee's pitcher; no run support, injury, and complete burning of a career.
• I was browsing through articles on ESPN when I saw one titled "Top Pick Must Deliver" by a writer I respect. Really? Top pick must deliver? That is world shattering right there. Of course the top pick must deliver. For any team. I don't even have to read the article. Teams invest an amazing amount of money and time into their top prospects.
• Not only was Dirk Nowitzki the first European player to win the NBA MVP award, he was the first NBA MVP award winner to be presented the award while crying in the fetal position on his bed while repeating the words, "Steve Nash. Steve Nash. Steve Nash."
