   It is time for the best day of the week here on Sportsblogger, Shocking/Not So Shocking Thursday. There is a lot of news today and as usual, we will try to get to everything that is making headlines in the Wide World of Sports.

Shocking: John Madden will retire from the broadcast booth this year after 30 seasons as the color commentator for NFL broadcasts.

A Second Shocking: Maddens replacement will likely be Cris Collinsworth; Collinsworth is a former NFL WR who could swear to himself in the mirror that he was the greatest who ever played the game. What a great way to honor a man like Madden who won a Super Bowl as a head coach and has the highest win percentage as a head coach by replacing him with a man who swears he has done the same, good job NBC.

Shocking: With the NBA Playoffs set to kick off this Saturday, the defending champion Boston Celtics have a major problem in preparing for their match-up with the Chicago Bulls.

Not So Shocking: The Celtics problem is the injured knee of PF Kevin Garnett that has forced the Celtics to prepare for the Playoffs without Garnett.

Shocking: The New York Yankees opened their brand new Yankees Stadium today in typical Yankees fashion of recent years, they are losing as of 1 p.m. to the Cleveland Indians.

Not So Shocking: Fans flocked to the opening of “The House that tax-payers built”, as was expected, to see what their tax dollars went to build.

Shocking: NHL Playoffs started yesterday amid plenty of people, myself included, wondering what channel the games would be on.

Not So Shocking: I was under the impression that the NHL Playoffs would air on NBC and searched for them all over but instead found that they were on the hidden channel of Versus, thanks a lot NHL for hidding your Playoffs!
