• We’re away for one weekend and look what happens …

  • At first he denied it.  Then he admits to it while everyone is watching the Olympics.  Tricky, tricky.
  • Russia invades Georgia!  Man, I was thinking “Where’s Patrick Swayze when you need him?“
  • The Orioles let Tampa claim Chad Bradford off of waivers (aka Post-trade deadline trade) for the the infamous “Player to be named later.”  I should get a jersey with that phrase on it.  Even with Bradford playing well and the O’s not having a consistent bullpen since Albers went down this move was just to free up some cash so they can purpose some free agents this winter.
  • The Chesapeak Bay Bridge was snarled with traffic because a tractor-trailer plunged off of the side.  The driver was killed.  Apparently, a 19-year old caused the accident due to falling asleep at the wheel with potentially alchol consumption being a factor. 
  • The Celebrity Death Trifecta has started!  First it was Bernie Mac, who of all the Kings of Comedy I find the funniest and he was in the 2007 Transformers movie.  Then it was Isaac Hayes of “Shaft” and “Chef” fame.  I wonder what his phaeton level was.  So who’s next?  I have some thoughts but I won’t reveal them, just yet.
  • Lastly, the Olympics are only a few days old and there’s ALREADY SCANDAL!!! First the feet then the girl.  Oh, those crafty Chinese.
