David Stern To Succeed Castro?

- The more I think about the ridiculous suspensions of Stoudemire and Diaw the more you realize what a dictator David Stern has become. He is the only guy in the NBA league office who makes any decisions, he listens to nobody, he completely ignores the wishes of the players (he only brought the old ball back this year because scoring was down) and owners, and generally does whatever the hell he wants.

While I think Stern is the best commissioner in sports history (just ask him, he'll certainly tell you he is), I also think he has become an arrogant, mean leader who has been tapped by Fidel as his successor. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if he took over Cuba once Castro dies.

- The Nets beat the Cavs last night and scored only six points in the fourth quarter. Six points! That's pretty much the worst the NBA has to offer right there.

- The Toronto FC soccer team is apparently averaging about 20,000 fans a game, which shouldn't be that surprising given Toronto's large immigrant population. What I'm curious to know though is whether it is the same 25,000 people going to the games or whether they are getting varied crowds. If anyone has any knowledge of that please let me know.

- The Sens are still going to win this series, but if the Sabres win Game 5 (I always think these stupid afternoon games favor the US team because they are used to playing in the afternoon and know how to prepare better than Canadian teams) some people in Ottawa might start preparing to throw themselves off the Peace Tower.

- I could make the "Bud" Bundy joke, but it's just too obvious. But if hottie Christina Applegate ends up on a sex tape? Now that would be big news we could all get into.

- At what point will it no longer be politically incorrect to say our Canadian Aboriginal policy has been an abject failure and we should stop throwing more money at it as the cure? And yes, that was a rhetorical question since we all know the answer.
