Shocking, Not So Shocking
Today, and every Thursday Sportsblogger will host small stories based on the top stories of the day called “Shocking, Not So Shocking”, so give some feedback and lets hear what you think.
Shocking: The Philadelphia Phillies won their first World Series since 1980 last night by defeating the Tampa Bay Rays 4 games to 1.
Not So Shocking: The Philadelphia Phillies won their first World Series since 1980, come on the game was suspended longer then it should have been. Why can’t all baseball games be 3 innings?
Not So Shocking: Michael Vick is going to plead guilty to State dogfighting charges in Virginia.
Shocking: The State will not allow him to plead guilty from a video conference and wants him to make an appearance in person. Who foots the bill for his transportation from Kansas to Virginia?
Shocking: David Beckham of the Los Angeles Galaxy will compete in the Champions League with A.C.Milan in January as part of a loan by the Galaxy.
Not So Shocking: The Loan becomes a rent to own situation. Look, Beckham you tried to make soccer big in the States, it just doesn’t work here, sorry.
Shocking: The Lakers signed C Andrew Bynum to a 4-year contract extension worth $58 million. Where on earth are they getting this money from? With Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, and Lamar Odom all with big contracts.
Not So Shocking: The Lakers made the move after back-to-back blow-out victories in the teams first two games. Kudos Lakers, spend away.
Shocking: The New York Knicks won their first game under Mike D’Antoni 120-115 over the Miami Heat.
Not So Shocking: The Knicks victory is ofcourse going to picked apart, as they won, but they still can’t play any defense. Then again, you do not hire Mike D’Antoni for his defensive expertise.
