...Of the Day
Story: Not only did the slumping Orioles fire Lee Mazzilli today, but they also cancelled the 3,000 hit celebration planned for Rafael Palmeiro since he accomplished the feat. Just a horrible past couple of weeks for the franchise since being in first place in the East and having Palmeiro reach the mark. Nothing but bad things have happened since then, I'm glad I'm not an Orioles' fan.
What the...?: This was a story from yesterday, but it belongs here. Addidas is buying Reebok for $59 a share. I will let Gaddis explain the economics of this and why it was a good deal, or will be a good deal when it is approved, but I don't get it. Can Reebox really be in that bad of a situation? Don't they have apparell deals with the NFL and NBA? Gaddis, help me.
Link: A story from cnn.com about how teen athletes are using dangerous methods to get into shape and lose weight to excel in sports. If anyone has any question as to why professional athletes need to be tested, this is the reason. I know the story of teens using unhealthy ways to get fit is out about 8 times a year, but it seems even more fitting after having a self-proclaimed "good guy" of a sport test positive for steroids.
Random Thought: We are going to know we're in trouble when poker players start getting their own episodes of SportsCentury or Beyond the Glory. And don't worry, it's coming.
Prediction: Trey is still alive (if you don't know what that means, Garcia will tell you).
-Until next time...

Few things here Mr. Filzen:
Yes, the NFL does indeed have a billion dollar contract with the NFL (or some absurd figure like that) I know that for certain.
And the Friday Morning Hangover (when it makes its glorious return on Sept. 9) will be all over your Trey prediction. So here's my early forecast...Trey is alive, and Marissa pulls the plug out of his life support at the hospital. It'd be hilarious.

That's so obvious it doesn't need to mentioned, c'mon gaddis, seriously.

Granted, I say this never having been shot before, but how could Trey die from that? It didn't hit any major areas of concern and they didn't really make it seem like a major injury when the episdoe rolled to an end. Trey is indeed alive and will resurface midway through the season when he assembles a group of "Super Heels" to take down Ryan. Who is this group you ask? The Four Horsemen, led by Trey playing the role of Rick Flair, Eddie playing the role of "AA" Arn Anderson, Oliver playing the manic role of Sid Vicious and the group would be rounded out by Luke playing the same role played by Sting, the whole "why did this guy join those evil bastards?" It could work, in fact I'm emailing Vince McMahon and Josh Schwartz as I'm writing this.

This has inspired me to do a whole new column on brother fueds, O.C. plotlines and things we need to see. I can't wait to unleash the ideas I have on the readers.
