So, for a lack of anything better to talk about which doesn't involve the abuse of Brett Lee let's look at today's news - involving stupidity, tragedy and politically correct foolishness.
A woman phoned to report that she was trapped indoors because a black cat like creature had been crouching on her doorstep for 24 hours. She thought it might be the infamous Beast of Bodmin Moor, but the skulking beast turned out to be a delivery of phone directories in a black plastic bag.
Of course CNN don't take 24/7 coverage of this,
Suicide bombers set off about a ton of explosives outside Chechnya's government building in central Grozny on Friday, killing 46 people and wounding 76 others, the Interior Ministry said.
Tokenism goes a step too far,
The civil rights group that helped initiate the NFL's recent push for minority hiring believes the league's new policy should have stiffer penalties.
Last week, the NFL instituted a policy requiring teams to interview minority candidates for coaching vacancies.
The civil rights group believes teams not conforming to the policy should face stiff penalties, such as forfeiting or voluntarily surrendering draft choices.
and speaking of political correctness...
Kicker Katie Hnida became the first woman to appear in a Division I-A college football game Wednesday, when the New Mexico junior had her extra point blocked against UCLA in the Las Vegas Bowl.
When was the last time anyone missed an extra point conversion before this?
EDIT - I am reliably informed that the NY Jets kicker missed one two weeks ago... Fuck it.
