Weekend Winners and Losers

Feb 25, 2008 – Not really much to report today! I think many people have a bad case of the Monday’s, but hey we all have to go to work! So what happened over the weekend? Well the Phillies lost their new pitcher for 3-6 weeks. Phillies closer Brad Lidge is scheduled to have arthroscopic surgery on his right knee Monday and could miss the regular-season opener. That is actually two loses for the Phillies management in less than a week and the season hasn’t even started yet. Their first loss came in Ryan Howard’s arbitration case last week. For more information about Howard’s case please read the posting from Feb. 22.

What else? How about the poor kid from Florida State University, or rather Free Shoes University for us true sports fans, that ripped apart his knee at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis this past weekend. I feel bad for the guy, granted he wasn’t a blue chip player but he was just there trying to live out every kid in America’s football dream and BAM it’s over just like that. I hope he get’s the chance to go back to school or maybe even still get picked up as an undrafted free agent.

Last night was a huge night in Hollywood as the stars of tinsel town strutted their stuff on the red carpet for the 80^th Annual Academy Awards. Here is a great link to find out who were the Best Dressed celebrities at the event. I don’t really care for Hollywood "it" girl, (at least she thinks she is the “IT”), Katherine Heigl but Yahoo seems too! She just annoys me! As for the best and worst dressed celebs, why does it seem like I am the only one who disagrees with the so-called professionals. Oh well, that’s why I am here and they’re in Hollywood.

Anyway please check out the links listed to the right for more sports and news highlights! Be safe this week as weather forecasters are saying that is might get a little messy this week and have a great Monday. I’ll post again tomorrow and look forward to reading your comments.
