Shocking/Not So Shocking Thursday (4/30/09)
On this Thursday, there is plenty of news to discuss and it just so happens to be the best day to get to it all, Shocking/Not So Shocking Thursday. Today, we get to explore the top stories from most sports and we will get to do that in a humorous way as always.
Shocking: Jose Canseco will venture into Mixed Martial Arts and face 7′2″ Hong Man Choi at the DREAM Promotions 10th event which will feature an open-weight tournament.
Not So Shocking: Japanese MMA fans love a freak show, but allowing a former baseball player/steroid user/boxer to take part in an MMA show furthers the stereo-type that MMA is not to be taken serious.
Shocking: Boston Celtics PG Rajon Rondo was not suspended or given a flagrant foul for his actions against Chicago Bulls C Brad Miller.
A Second Shocking: After watching the foul a few times, it is obvious that the play in question was in fact at least a flagrant one foul, that was proved by Millers dazed face.
Shocking: May the Brett Favre rumors begin as he was released by the New York Jets yesterday after just one season in the Meadowlands.
Not So Shocking: Favre has said that this retirement is indeed final, but as soon as the Minnesota Vikings come calling, do you think he will not listen?
Not So Shocking: A report today says that in a new book to be released soon, that Alex Rodriguez has taken steroids since High School.
A Second Not So Shocking: Really? Let’s be honest with ourselves here, do we really need a book to tell us that Rodriguez is a liar? I wouldn’t doubt that the book is true, but cashing in more on this story does not help your own cause anymore, so just accept the fact that we have all been lied to for quite some time. Thanks Bud!
Shocking: Ohio State Mens Basketball player/bench warmer/blogger, Mark Titus, was banned from entering the NBA Draft.
A Second Shocking: Titus was banned for the NBA’s fear of making a mockery of the NBA Draft. I guess the NBA learned from Darko Milicic that players entering the Draft can make a mockery of the sport.
