LOST

This post is a little late. Anyone who works with me can tell you that I’m a huge Lost fan. Every Thursday I’m talking about what happened on the show, what’s going to happen, and any crazy theory I have read or come up with on my own. Now I won’t bore you with a recap of my own, but I will direct you to Jeff Jensen’s column on EW.com. Every Thursday he does a great job of recapping the previous night’s episode. He also has a column on Wednesdays before the show, which goes over theories and possibilities for that night’s episode. If you like Lost you owe it to yourself to check it out. Here is the link to Thursday’s recap. Click Here

Manny Being Manny

Sorry for the back to back sports posts, but The Manny story is big news around here. If you don’t know Dodger outfielder Manny Ramirez was suspended 50 games by major league baseball for using a banned substance. Full story here Yahoo.

An anonymous source has stated that the substance was not a steroid or HGH. Full story here Yahoo.

It’s no secret I’m a big Manny fan, especially now that he’s a Dodger. I have to believe him here. I never thought Manny was a juicer. He’s probably taking some pills for an STD he got from a groupie, and is to embarrassed to talk about it. Hopefully the Dodgers do fine without him.

I Hate Sam Keller

Former Nebraska and Arizona State quarterback Sam Keller is suing EA Sports. He brought a suit claiming that EA Sports used student athlete’s names and likenesses in a commercial venture, thus violating an NCAA rule. Keller’s main argument is that the rosters for teams in EA’s NCAA 09 are similar to those of the real life teams. So similar, that a player’s number, height, weight, hometown, and even skin color are the same in real life as they are in the game.

Now I hate to see student athletes exploited, and it is bad enough the schools make millions of dollars of these kids, but I’ve been playing video games my whole life and if Sam Keller ruins college football video games for me I’ll be pissed. Having the rosters on these games resemble the real team is half the fun. What’s the point of playing if my video game Taylor Mays can’t intercept video game Jimmy Clausen, or if I can’t sack video game Tim Tebow.
