Before we jump into this week’s review, a quick message to the good folks at Time, inc.
My Sports Illustrated arrived late this week, and that throws of my schedule. I am a loyal reader of your products, but I’m also a hopeless slave to routine. I read Time Magazine at the gym on Tuesday and Wednesday morning, then Sports Illustrated on Thursday and Friday. So, when my SI doesn’t show up in my mailbox until Thursday, like it did this week, there is a large donut hole in my routine, and it throws everything off. Please try harder.
I also realize that the late delivery may have, in fact, been the fault of the United States Postal Service. If that is the case, I apologize to you. I will not, however, lay any blame at the feet of the good men and women who deliver our mail. Things are tough enough for them these days, what with this crazy internet turning their entire industry into an anachronism. Also, they have a reputation for reacting badly to criticism. I see no need to push any of those buttons.
Today’s blind item comes from the Daily Mirror and asks:

Some of the top soccer players in the world put their artistic prowess to the test for charity. Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs, Didier Drogba, among others drew self portraits for the “Art of Football” book being auctioned off at the ‘Football Extravagana’ Event.
Just take a look at some of these. Forget a Picasso, get me a Rio Ferdinand.
I can see how these can appeal to some, but not much my taste at all. If you do like these shoes you better save up your pennies. There seems to be only 12 pairs of each hitting specific retail stores.
I don’t get it? Nike is using Earl Woods voice, who passed away in 2006 in their new commercial for Tiger. It actually sounds kind of creepy and in poor taste. Wasn’t his dad unfaithful to Kutilda? So are we suppose to learn a lesson from these two?
Please for the love of everything that is good in the world please let Tiger miss the cut.
The days of being a loser as a Knick fan are coming to an end. At least thats according to Donnie Walsh, the team’s president, who said on Tuesday that he thinks the Knicks are ready to be a winning basketball team next season. Continue Reading
