The US Federal Reserve lowered the interest rate to near zero just about the same as for a Florida/Tampa Wednesday night NHL game.

Unusual week for things being thrown as President Bush had shoes hurled at him; Sean Avery had the book lobbed at him and the Cleveland Browns tossed in the towel.

Tennessee Titans QB Vince Young is suing a promoter over the use of the name inVINCEable. In other news a lawyer is trying to trademark the rights to the name unsAVERY.

Tiger Woods says his reconstructed leg will be better than ever and with an estimated loss of $6 million in earnings who can doubt him?

A man made medical history this week as he had a complete face transplant. Dr.’s say the anonymous patient is fine and hopes to resume his hockey career with a new team after he completes anger management therapy.

Buying holiday gifts must be tough for Kobe because with all the gifts he has given his wife over his affairs a diamond to him isn’t forever; at best it’s a stocking stuffer.

With the number of elderly sports executives having remarkable success rejuvenating franchises, maybe we should demand Don Cherry to be our Governor General.

Chris Bosh had a horrible night shooting Wednesday with his scoring percentage less than the janitor gets trying to hook up at a Victoria Secret Christmas Party.
