This is why I don't play hockey...

Richard Zednik, who plays forward for the Florida Panthers was skating his merry way, until he was hit and crouched down ...then he took the skate-blade of Olli Jokinen to the carotid artery; it might have been my imagination, but I'm pretty sure you could see blood spurt out in the video. I know that you could see it on the ice in a pool. Apparently if the cut was deeper and the artery was actually severed he would've died (or it's likely that he would've). As it was, the artery was "hanging by a thread" according to the doctors at Buffalo General Hospital.

Pretty gruesome shit.

Check out that video.

Rocker's off his rocker...?

Uh...

John Rocker says that baseball knew that he was using 'roids way back when. Saying that while he was playing for the Rangers MLB hired "doctors" for the "players association" to teach them how to use steroids properly. He says that Bud Selig knew that Rocker failed a 2000 drug test, and ignored it.

"I was trying to pitch all the way up until a week before I had my surgery. And obviously feeling as bad as I was, I called every doctor I could [to find out] what can I do to strengthen my shoulder and give me more arm strength,' he said. "Every one of them said go to a GNC, buy something over the counter, human growth hormone, these very several amino acids ... basically [that] is the way its done."

He even compared himself to Jackie Robinson and Hank Aaron saying that they took a lot of "crap," but they didn't take the amount of "crap" that Rocker has taken for approximately 6-years.

I don't know. The South was a pretty rowdy place for a long time; even in the 70's.

I got it here.

Jimmy Hoffa...in a Dog...

Viva, a show dog, was lost a little over ayear or so ago, at a Westminster Dog Show in 2006...and she's still missing. She's the equivalent to Jimmy Hoffa - she vanished off the face of the Earth; an episode of Without a Trace could be a good example of her disappearance. Funnier than that is that the dog psychics....apparently say she's alive and well.

I got it here.

Judge is up to No "Goode"

Seriously. Best title for a Blog Entry to date.

Mike Judge, better known for Office Space and Beavis and Butthead has signed on to whip out 13-episodes of The Goode Family which centers around the Goode family, a family of do-gooders who try and do the right thing in all facets of life.

I'll check it out, I loathe King of the Hill though.

Loved Beavis and Butthead, and Office Space...even loved Idiocracy...despite it being the worst movie ever made.

CW puts the smack down on..."Smackdown!"

That's right. You heard it correctly, the CW Network, or whatever they're called, has put the axe to WWE Smackdown...WWE is currently shopping the show to NBC, MTV, USA, and MyNetworkTV...

Funny shit.

Joshua Jackson is on the "Fringe"

Josh Jackson who is best known for playing Pacey in Dawson's Creek...has joined the JJ Abrams new TV pilot Fringe which is about a young FBI Agent (chick) who teams up with a scientist and does all kinds of weird shit. Like save the world, and all that. Jackson will play the leads love interest.

Casey Affleck assaults a "Kind One"

By assault, we mean he's going to star in a 1930's set noir called The Kind One where he plays an amnesiac who works for a terrifying mob boss whose nom de plume is The Kind One. Affleck's character goes on to fall in love with the mob boss's chickadee.

After watching Gone Baby Gone I'll see anything Casey Affleck does, he was fantastic in that flick, and it's a must-fucking-see.
