Tom Brady Hurt, Fantasy Footballers CRY

It's likely that if you had Tom Brady on your fantasy football team you used a 1st round pick to land the 2007 NFL MVP quarterback. If this is the case, you may want to sit down. Sources close to the Patriots say that Brady will miss the rest of the season with an ACL tear in his left knee.

During the first quarter of the 2008 season opener, Brady was hurt as he stepped up in the pocket to make a throw to wideout Randy Moss. Chiefs safety Bernard Pollard, who was on the ground, lunged forward and struck Brady’s leg, which buckled as he released the ball.

My advice to Tom Brady owners is go out and pick up Matt Cassel (Brady's backup) as quick as you can. If Cassel has already been taken by someone else then its OK to cry because you're fantasy team is in a lot of trouble.

Since we are on the subject of the UFC, I wanted to post this video from ESPN. It was just announced a few days ago Randy Couture would be returning to the UFC after a year of holding out. Couture will be facing man-gorilla Brock Lesnar for the UFC Heavyweight Title on November 15th. UFC President Dana White says this fight will be the largest in UFC history and will have 1,000,000 pay-per-view buys & with mainstream TV coverage starting this early for the fight it's definitely possible.

Grapes Continue to Torment TV Reporters

While John Durham will tell you all the good things grapes bring to the table, I on the other hand, have a different view of grapes. Grapes are evil and vindictive and another TV reporter has fallen victim to this violent and dangerous fruit.

Sports & Politics

I know, I know, two political related posts in a row but just happened to notice this on ESPN.com and thought it was very interesting. It's an article about who in the sports world has donated to either John McCain or Barack Obama. There is also an interesting article interviewing both candidates on sports-related questions.

Keeping Ameirca Strong

Ok, before anyone thinks I'm choosing sides, I want to let you know that I would definitely post this video regardless of political party involved.

I just find it funny that if you are that passionate about politics, passionate enough to go to a national convention, you would think you would know how to spell America or would possibly proofread your sign.

Knight Rider Building

According to MSN Video, this takes place in Germany....which is fitting. I don't even know how you begin to plan & synchronize this whole thing but I'm sure the Germans had no trouble organizing this light show to honor The Hoff.

Here Comes Google Chrome....

Google Chrome is an open source web browser developed by Google. The name is derived from the graphical user interface frame, or "chrome", of web browsers. The open source project behind Google Chrome is known as Chromium.

A beta version for Microsoft Windows was released on 2 September 2008 in 43 languages. Mac OS X and Linux versions are under development and are scheduled to be released after the Windows version.

The release announcement was originally scheduled for 3 September 2008, and a comic by Scott McCloud was to be sent to journalists and bloggers explaining the features of and motivations for the new browser. Copies intended for Europe were shipped early and German blogger Philipp Lenssen of Google Blogoscoped made a scanned copy of the 38-page comic available on his website after receiving it on 1 September 2008. Google subsequently made the comic available on Google Books and their site and referenced it on its official blog along with an explanation for the early release.

The Filipino Steve Perry

In case you haven't heard, Steve Perry quit Journey along time ago. Also, you may have not heard that Journey found their new lead singer, Arnel Pineda, by seeing his videos on YouTube.

Videos of Arnel Pineda and his cover band, The Zoo, began showing up on YouTube at the beginning of this year. Neal Schon of Journey saw the videos and got in contact with Arnel. Arnel was flown out to the Bay Area, where he auditioned and a few months later was announced the new lead singer of Journey. The performance videos below are from Arnel's debut show with Journey on February 21, 2008 at the Viña del Mar International Song Festival held at the Quinta Vergara Amphitheater in Viña del Mar, Chile.
