Lindsey Lohan is a drug addict and a drunk. This is one of the biggest stories in the news. I have yet to meet a person this actually effects but everyone seems to know about it.
The new Harry Potter book is out and everyone is reading it. It has been called the darkest of the books so far because of the gaggle of main characters that get the axe. Also, the ending is the predictable “happy ending” senerio that dictates modern books. Still, the Harry Potter series is the best of modern literature that there is. That is why I enjoy the classics. I will probably read the books at some point in time because I enjoy a good story.
David Beckham and Posh Spice, who apparently doesn’t know the Spice Girls, are no longer a group, have moved to America. This means for about 3 weeks, people all over the region in Southern California, where the team is from, will fain interest. That is unless he manages at his old age to win without any support what so ever. By the by, he has been here a week and he is already on the disabled list.
Michael Vick has found the best way to destroy the silver plate that life was being handed to him on. Now wither or not he is guilty of participation in a dog-fighting ring, his reputation has been more than tarnished. It has been completely dashed. Nike will most likely drop him even if he is acquitted. The relationship between Vick and the Falcons has almost completely deteriorated. Almost everyone is predicting he is done in Atlanta and some are speculating a life-time ban from pro football. Things could not be worse. He will end up in jail, penny-less and the most talented former-famous person ever! Celebrity Real World, here he comes.
An NBA ref is being investigated for betting on games he officiated and point shaving for the mob. I am sorry, but is this the freaking movies? Apparently this ref owed the mob a ton of money and they leaned on him to point shave. This is every conspiracy theorist’s wet dream. Things are not looking good in major league sports.
Speaking of things not looking good, Barry Bonds is chasing the biggest record in major league sports right now. He is two runs shy of tying Hank Aaron’s all time home run record. In comparison, Barry is about 3 times the size that Hank was when he took the record. With the allegations of steroid abuse and Barry Bond’s general F’ off attitude its hard to be excited about the record being broken. I would like to think he didn’t use steroids but at this point in time he looks really, really guilty. Couple that with the book of allegations and the leaked grand jury testimony, things aren’t looking good in major league sports right now.
Do you remember how the Coyotes’ (NHL) assistant coach ran an illegal gambling ring and how The Great One’s wife was involved? Yeah, that is every major sport in the US having a major controversy in the same year. Did I mention that things aren’t looking good in major league sports right now? No wonder kids are looking to Harry Potter, a fictional character, as a role model. It’s the only place they can look.
