Sometimes Ridiculous Just Isn't Enough

A few things I think are ridiculous this morning:

LOST...this is the smartest show on television. I've been watching since the very beginning and been hooked ever since.

TSN2...Why can't you and Rogers TV just be friends already? I've missed countless amounts of important hockey and basketball games (not to mention golf, tennis, boxing and other sports), despite getting the Super Sports Pack of NHL Center Ice, NBA Home Court, NFL Sunday Ticket...etc, because the country's largest cable provider won't offer you to me. Although I shouldn't complain too much cause Rogers already gave me 3 months of that package for free for complaining...sidenote: Rogers raised their tv and internet fees today...awesome!

Tyson Chandler...was traded yesterday from Oklahoma City of the NBA to New Orleans. All's well and good right? Well, Chandler failed his physical and the trade was rescinded today.
While he has missed 18 games this season with injuries, he has started all 32 that he's played and averaged just over 8 points and 8 rebounds per game. OKC didn't give a specific reason why he failed the physical, but if this has anything to do with conditioning or lack of rehab, Chandler and the Hornets should be ashamed. You don't trade players mid-season who are woefully out of shape, you wait till the year is done and peddle them to Sacramento.

Playing hockey until 11:30pm the night before waking up for work at 7:15...

Ken Griffey Jr....after 10 years in exile and speculation he was going to Atlanta, the smooth swing has announced his return to Seattle for his swan song. In 10 seasons since leaving the Mariners, Griffey has averaged just 98 games played per season and hit 213 home runs over that span. That compared with 398 home runs in his first 11 seasons averaging 139 games played, all with Seattle. You could say that all has to do with ageing, but those later career numbers average out about the same as the early ones if you expand those numbers to full seasons, so clearly Griffey still had it. Many say had he not been so injury prone in his years with Cincinnati and recently Chicago, Griffey would be the all-time home run hitter right now. He currently sits in fifth place all-time with 611.

Tatinana Del Toro...if you know, you know...'nuff said

Bernard Madoff...50 billion...really? You couldn't have stopped at like...30 billion, could you? You reeaallly needed that extra 20 billion to buy Cuba like you always wanted, right? And you stole from Sandy Koufax!?!?! Whaaaaaaat???

And finally...and possibly the most ridiculous moment of the year...

Alex Ovechkin...at his absurd best...
