A Week's Worth of Mutterings
My monstrosity of a hockey post is still in progress, I was planning to post it a day or two after the Wings made a big signing...and well Chris Osgoode just isn't cutting it. But with pretty much all of the big name unrestricted FAs off the market (still waiting on Selanne) it looks like I'm just gonna have to go with what I've got...so sometime over the weekend I'll throw my thoughts up here.

I haven't posted anything for a while, and its not that I didn't have anything to say, I just didn't have anything good. Don't get your hopes up though, I still don't have anything good, but I'm going for quantity over quality on this one so sit tight.

There needs to be some kind of criteria set in place before a musical act can put out a 'greatest hits' CD. First of all as the name suggests 'hits', this means more than one. Ok I realize that even if an artist or group sucks ass they still will have songs that are 'great' when compared to their other super-crap, but thats really no basis for a CD release. Quick, name a song by Blackstreet that isn't called 'no diggity'! Don't worry I'll wait....still nothing?....you're googling it now arn't you?? On the off chance someone out there is a Blackstreet fan and actually did name another song, do you really think they deserve a greatest hits CD? Its not just them trying to scam this move off either, Juvenile, 98 Degrees and Sublime I'm looking in your direction.

"What up Kay-sar!" is anyone else watching Big Brother this season? Anyone at all, I want to talk about it but I won't do it here if no one is going to know what I'm muttering about...and if you're not watching it I suggest that you do, its great...in an awful trainwreck kinda way.

If I was going to make a list of all the players in baseball that I thought were using illegal preformance enhancing substances I think Rafael Palmeiro would have found himself in the bottom 10%. Then Jose 'Homerun off the head' Canseco comes out and says he never saw Palmeiro take anything, after writing in his book that he had...class acts all around.

Speaking of idiots writing books...two or three jurors from the Michael Jackson trial are writing books talking about how guilty he was....huh? what? can that be legal? you just found him innocent (well, not guilty) you freakin morons! I also know nothing about the legal system in the States (not that I really know much about it here) but in theory couldn't the prosecution sue those jurors for 'fixing' the outcome of the trial and ignoring what it was they were there to do?

Todd Bertuzzi finally had his suspension lifted by the NHL. Its about time.

What is your fantasy concert, and where is the venue? I've got Ludacris opening for The Tragically Hip at the club house for any golf course right after I finish playing 18.

Do people still say 'jokes'? As in "yo, that movie was pure jokes yo". I hadn't heard it used for a few years until the other day...I hope its not making a comeback.

Aight I'm out. G'night folks.
