Is there anything good going on in the world of sports right now? In the NFL you have the Michael Vick dog fighting case. In the NBA you have a referee pleading guilty to 2 felony charges that he bet on games on which he could change the outcome on in his favor by calling fouls. Steroid induced Barry Bonds broke the home run record in Major League Baseball.
It is hard to pick out which of those is the worst of the worst. Two guy's cheated, and another ran a despicable illegal enterprise out of his home. I suppose Vick's case would be the least offensive to his sport because it actually has nothing to do with football, but supposedly it was entirely financed by his $130 million dollar contract he signed a couple of years ago. The NBA referee had a good racket going on, I don't know how he got caught, but my guess is that it had been going on for quite some time. I guess he had bookies telling him to influence the game in favor of one team, and then they would all place bets on that favorable team. And then there is Bonds, who's personal trainer is currently sitting in prison for refusing to testify that he gave Barry steroids. Then he goes and breaks on of baseballs most prestigious records.
I don't know....What do you think?

chris,
so in other depressing news have you checked sydney and aidan's toys against the enormous recall list. I thought we wouldn't have any since only about 50% of max's toys are convensional plastic stuff but we still had several that were on the list.

good hunting. Josh favorite was the exploding plane.
hugs, jenn
The exploding plane was pretty good, I liked the Easy Bake Oven that partially amputates fingers. It also pinches fingers and subjects them to 2nd and 3rd degree burns.
We have one toy on the Fisher Price list, but it was purchased before the May 1st, 2007 date. Of course it is always helpful when the product number is on the original packaging, what good does that do anyone???
Fortunately you can search all of the sports for the positive things.
Like ARod and his Las Vegas girlfriend and his wife with the f-bomb tshirt.
Or, what about the suspended NFL player who wants to wrestle WWE?
But, how about those Broncos? What about the new running back?
No Fantasy tip off's here. Besides he is risky, being in the leagues substance abuse program, if he gets one positive test he is done.
