Friday's Blogettes

Super Bowl: Anybody else think that Tom Brady is faking the ankle/foot injury to psyche out the Giants?

Baseball: MLB had a don't ask don't tell policy on steroids. It's time to move on and anyone caught doing steroids or other banned substances need to be eliminated from baseball for life. If they could do it to Shoeless Joe Jackson & Pete Rose, why not to those who are doing something that is against the law (betting on baseball is not illegal, it is just banned by MLB. Taking money from the mob to throw games in 1919 was not illegal OR banned by baseball). MLB screwed up and the players took advantage of it. Move on and start over.

NBA: Again, who cares?

NCAA: Some of these rules are ridiculous. Did you see where Sidney Lowe (coach of NC State basketball) violated a rulle when he talked about the abilities of a player who has committed to play at NCSU. Why is it even a rule not to talk about some one who has committed to play for a team? The NCAA rules committee is becoming as bad as the IRS!

Other sports: Bring back roller derby! Better yet, roller derby on ice (ice blade derby?).

Economy: Does anybody really think that a tax refund is going to stimulate the economy or will the money just go to pay down debt? Just give the money to the banks or gas companies and skip the middle man. It's just a ploy in an election year to make everyone think the politicians are on our side. I say, make the politicians pay taxes & pay for their own health insurance, then they will see how the rest of us live! Get them out of their ivory towers and into the work force!!!

BofA: Anybody else notice that Bank of America is getting ready to layoff workers even after they received an EXTRA 6 billion dollars from the sale of two types of securities (depository shares and convertible preferred stock) . They were only expecting 6 billion dollars total and they sold for $12 billion! Don't you think they could afford to keep some of those workers with that money?
