These Are The Things I Think About -- Oct15th-21st

The Walking Dead is on tonight! If you caught the season premiere last weekend, you definitely weren’t the only one. Numbers are in, nearly 11 million people tuned in making it the most-watched cable drama broadcast ever! And, I’ll guess about 10.5 million of the viewers already find Lori annoying again this season…Why can’t the Walkers get her dammit! 

Now to a man who may infact be dead inside, Lance Armstrong. Following recent near undisputed evidence he doped during his bicycle racing career, and, inturn, has been lying through his teeth to everyone about it; Lance stepped down as chairman of his Livestrong cancer-fighting charity this week. Nike has also severed all ties with him…Is there anyway this guy can still considered be a role model? I say no. 

Continuing in Sports, US swimmer Michael Phelps has been named 'The Fittest Man of All Time' by Men’s Health Magazine. Bruce Lee was second, then Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jack Lalane. Eating a 12,000 (yes, 12-thousand!, you read that right) calorie a day sugar based diet, you gotta think Michael Phelps is probably also the most likely man of all time to get diabetes too! 

Quick hit from entertainment. Honey Boo Boo's mom, says her family is like the ‘Lohans’. Not sure which side should be more insulted following that statement. Perhaps it is the rest of us who ought to be. Both those groups of idiots should in no way be household names. 
--By the way Lindsay Lohan has agreed to be interviewed by Barbara Walters. I say Barbara opens with this question: What the hell is wrong with you?!... Seriously, as a fellow redhead I think Lindsay should have her ginger card revoked….Boo to you Ms. Lohan, for shame, grow up. 

New stats show having an NFL team with a winning record is a significant indicator of increased housing sales and population growth among US cities. Better the record, the better off both economically & socially, your city will be…This of course means, forget the auto industy, Detroit needs to blame the Lions! 

And finally a kid in New York City had to be rushed to hospital after swallowing a rubber ducky. He’s ok, but now he squeaks when you poke his belly…Ha!

--Oh P.S.   Don Cherry is in the news. 

Some European players with contracts in the KHL have stated they would stay in Europe this season, even if the NHL lockout ends. In response, this was said, 'let them stay there. It will make more room for the players from Quebec and North America. As a supporter and former player I do not care for players who want to stay in Europe. Let them.”. This said by former NHLer Guy Lafleur. It was Don Cherry, in regards to Guy's statement, tweeted this: "Now imagine if I said that? Whoah."…He’s right, isn’t he?!, people would be roasting Don over the coals if he said that, Guy…No big deal. 
But here’s where I really get intrigued. Offering advice to NHL players Cherry says “Quit tweeting and talking to the media about how bad Bettman and the owners are..” he adds “Quit ticking them off, why make them more determined." And, once again, he’s right!

…Do you realize what is happening?! Don Cherry, right now, is the voice of reason in the NHL!…There’s some Apocalyptic Food for Thought if there ever was. Yep, this lockout needs to end now. Anyone else see fire in the sky this morning?
