Sports News You’re (Probably) Missing –Thanksgiving Edition

A (usually) humorous look at sports written by popular parent bloggers and some of their friends.

Did your family force you to spend too much time with them this holiday week? Did you drink too much? Tryptophan coma? Whatever reason you’ve been missing the sports news this week, I’ve got your back.

Serena Williams is sitting out of the Australian Open. She just had surgery on her foot and wants to make sure she heals properly. Sounds reasonable enough to me.

Mark Recchi becomes 13th person to score 1500 goals. Well, not all at once – he has been in the NHL for four decades. The Bruins right wing may have been playing professional hockey since 1988, but that is how long it takes to score 1500 career points.

NBA Ticket Prices Continue to Fall. Honestly, thank the Gods. The average NBA ticket price is down to $48 per game, and at that price I can actually afford to go to a pro basketball game – assuming I don’t buy more than one $8 beer.

Vince Young apologizes to his coach – by text message. Vince Young again shows his lack of class, texting an apology to Titans coach Jeff Fisher for an argument about his supposed benching earlier this week.

Fisher wasn’t impressed.

“I’m not a real big text guy,” he said Wednesday. “I’m not really into this new age stuff. I don’t twit or tweet. But I think face-to-face is a man thing, OK?”

In related news I continue to lose my faith in humanity.

The Black Eyed Peas Will Perform During Super Bowl Half Time Show. Luckily, nobody watches the half-time show during the super bowl so I will not have to endure this special brand of torture.

Joe Paterno has another year in him. JoPa says he’ll be back for 2011. The entire state of Pennsylvania cringes.

And the Heat is overrated.

Thank You! Good Night!
