Groundhog Day Headlines

Happy Groundhog's Day to everyone. And according to Punxsutawney Phil we will have an early spring. With temps going to be sub-zero for a while around here, spring can not begin soon enough for me.

People have been lawsuit happy for quite some time, this is a surprise to no one. But here again we hear of people looking for an easy paycheck suing someone over something that is just plain silly. A guy was trying to sue the Anaheim Angels for damages because a Mother's Day promotion gave a free gift to women over the age of 18. He claimed this was discrimination. His lawsuit was thrown out and we'll wait to see what ridiculous lawsuit comes next from someone.

Ex-Charger Drew Brees and current Charger and reigning MVP LaDainian Tomlinson share the Walter Payton NFL Man Of The Year Award. Rain awards on these guys all you want too...still is not replacing the desire for a Super Bowl Championship.

And this can't be... Brett Favre announcing before the draft that he is coming back next year? He will milk his 'might be retiring' status for as long as he can get away with it. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he retires at one point and then half way through the following season decides to come back for some team. I tire of Brett Favre.

And here's more information regarding Apple's iPhone that I didn't know about in the past. First off it is overpriced like most every other Apple product. At $500 it is a spendy phone and according to the article there are already phones that people are purchasing that look and do much of what Apple's iPhone is claiming to be able to do and at less than $200. Then you'll notice that the iPhone is only available on Cingular networks. The iPhone will be like every other Apple product. Rich, elite celebrities will have these products thinking that they are 'cool' but anyone that knows anything knows that Apple and any of their products are just over-priced, flashy gadgets that are usually far less in quality and performance then most other competing products.

YouTube gets bought out by Google and now loses all of the videos you wanted to see. YouTube use to have all the best video clips from shows, movies, etc... Now it will just be filled with girls (and lame guys) lip-syncing to lame songs.

And the big global warming summit concluded saying that global warming is caused by humans and no matter what humans try to do, it will continue no matter what. Great...so do we have to hear about this all the time now?
