Random News Shit: SportsCenter Edition

Cliff Lee
1) And Cliff Lee Chooses....the Phillies!
A free agent spurns New York, and all other suitors, who offered more money, so he could do what he wanted to do. Hmm, where have I heard this story before??

All I have to say about this Cliff Lee signing is that Roger Clemens wouldn't have wanted to play with Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt, and Cole Hamels, he would've wanted to beat them.

...Wait!

2) Favre's Consecutive Games Streak Ends At 297
I still can't believe the NFL didn't have the Detroit Lions' stadium roof collapsed so Brett could've had a shot to keep his consecutive games streak alive. That really makes me, and a bunch of others, wonder if Brett is actually secretly suspended by the NFL on some "Michael Jordan decides to go play baseball" shit. The Jenn Sterger investigation has ended, and Jenny's people have said they wanted him suspended, so maybe this is the NFL way of protecting one of their legends??

I don't know, he could just be really hurt, but it's always more fun to speculate. It'll be telling if Brett sits out the last 3 games as well (though he doesn't really have any reason to play on now).

3) The Dallas Mavs' Win Streak Ends At 12
The Milwaukee Bucks put in work last night, and came from 20 points down to end the Mavs' streak. Brandon Jennings had 23 and 11, while Andrew Bogut put up 21 and 14 on 10-12 shooting from the field.

Damn, I was hoping the Heat got a chance to end it in Miami on December 20th.

4) Jets Coach Suspended For Tripping Dolphins Player
Rightfully so. It was wrong what he did, but at the end of the day, the Dolphins player was fine, so let the guy keep his job. Its not like he ran onto the field and tripped the guy.

5) Tashard Choice Gets Mike Vick's Autograph After Game
Why was this even a story?? He got one of his idol's autograph, so the fuck what! Tashard should be more concerned with the loss?? Why?? It's not like the game meant anything. The sports media might not realize this because of how good the Cowboys are playing, but we've been out of the playoff race for weeks now. Let the guy get his autograph, and leave him alone. It's not that serious.
