4 Down time

The Chicago White Sox say they coveted Ken Griffey Jr. for a long time but had to wait until a spot opened up on their injured reserved.

A report says the Green Bay Packers offered Brett Favre $20 million to not play this year surpassing the previous record for payment without playing held by North Korea.

Huston Rockets centre Yao Ming says he is not concerned about the acquisition of Ron Artest and in fact has brought him back some Chinese toys as a welcoming gift.

Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon has been found guilty of negligent driving and has the option of spending 2 days in jail, 5 days being electronically monitored or a attending a barbecue with Matt Dunigan.

Now that NBA referee Tim Donaghy has been sentenced to 15 months for fixing games the only over/under left for him is the choice of bunk beds.

The Little League World Series has adopted instant replay for controversial calls such as home runs, fair or foul balls and legitimacy of birth certificates.

Not sure what will scare LA Dodgers fans more being in the stadium during an earthquake or when Manny Ramirez settles under a fly ball.

The Write Stiff

The King of Egypt has created a Peace Camp for survivors of war torn countries to play sports and should not be confused to NFL players who like a piece during camp.

With Michelle Wie being disqualified for not signing her score card it pretty well confirms she doesn’t have the write stuff.

Interesting call during the Roughrider-Argonauts game where upon further review the refs decided to give the ball to the Roughies and assure themselves a path back to their hotel.

If the Riders can lose a couple more quarterbacks and star receivers they could go undefeated.

At the end of the Canadian Open Police tackled the trainer of the winning golfer as he was spraying champagne over him. This was an honest mistake as Toronto Police are unfamiliar with how to handle a celebration.

The Roughriders have had their last 2 home games interrupted by a lightning storm which has to have some magic in it because they keep pulling quarterbacks out of their hat.

What a week Brett Favre retires and now wants to play, Mats Sundin hasn’t retired but doesn’t want to play and Manny Ramirez is playing like he’s retired.

Scientists say it will soon be possible to live to 150 years which will mean we go to school until we are 30, marry when we are 70 but will still have to retire from professional hockey before Chris Chelios.

One of the benefits of living to 150 is their will be a chance fans may see the Toronto Maple Leafs win a Stanley Cup in their lifetime.

I’m not sure which sounds more fun rear ending Dancia Patrick or finding out she’s hot for me afterwards.
