Colbert Plans To Tackle The Triangle

Comedy Central host Stephen Colbert has announced a partnership with Audi that will allow him to join a sailing crew as they go to the Bermuda Triangle.

The conquest, which shoves off on May 21, will feature Colbert as a "morale officer." Given his ability to crack up anyone within 100,000 miles just by breathing, I'm pretty sure the crew has have the best time sailing a boat that they could ever have.

But this begs the question. What if Colbert becomes like the many victims that the triangle has devoured, disappearing into nothingness or who knows what?

I for one think this move is just too risky. Being without our favorite funny man would just be too much for me to bear. I mean, who would make me laugh over and over with jokes covering subjects hat make most people cry out in anger. We need him in this crazy world.

So I say don't do it, Stephen! You are way to precious of a commodity to us all to go down in the history books like that one lady in that one plane that time.

Sheen Still At It

Recent Hollywood actor turned problem child Charlie Sheen is still flapping his gums about whatever to whoever will listen.

The former "Two and 1/2 Men" lead man recently turned up his rhetoric eluding to the fact that he believes that President Obama is not a birth citizen of the U.S., joining others such as Donald Trump.

But Really, who could be surprised by this? Given all that has come out of this scary man's move these days, I'm surprised we haven't heard that he thinks we are all aliens and that he can communicate with the mother ship.

Seriously, somebody close to him might want to pass along the hint that he needs to shut up, that is if anyone out there is still close to him.

Selig Mkaes Move On Dodgers Situation

MLB Commissioner Bud Selig has taken control of the Los Angeles Dodgers franchise after several incidents by Dodgers owner Frank McCourt.

Among other reasons for the move where the fact that McCourt had used charity fund money to pay off executives, a bitter divorce proceeding between McCourt and his wife and a recent incident where a visiting Giants fan was savagely beaten following a game. The Giants fan remains in a coma.

The move was made on Wednesday, and McCourt immediately released a statement saying he believes Selig has no reason to overtake the team. Fans will probably have a different opinion.

Doccument Claims Cubs Let Red Sox Win 1918 World Series

Court Documents from a deposition in 1920 claim that the Chicago Cubs threw the world Series against Boston have recently come into light.

The documents, which site the testimony of Eddie Cicotte, one of the many Black Sox banned after the infamous 1919 world series, claims that the Black Sox got the idea from the Cubs previous World Series Endeavor.

Although Cicotte's deposition lacks specifics, including names and dates, many in the baseball community are saying that the idea of trading money for throwing series is not that far fetched given the fact that players in those days were mostly poor and classified as "working stiffs."

The 1918 World Series was the last title for the Red Sox until their heralded title in 2004.

Cicotte passed away in 1969, forever tarnished by his part in the 1919 fix.

NFL Releases 2011 Schedule

Despite moving into a lockout due to a failure to reach a collective bargaining agreement with the NFL players union, the NFL has released team schedules for the 2011 season.

Bryant Pays Price For Slur

NBA star Kobe Bryant recently found out that hurling anti-gay slurs on the court just doesn't pay out in the end.

During a recent game, Bryant became displeased with referee Bennie Adams after being charged with a flagrant foul and decided to retaliate by releasing a slur laced barrage at Adams. Broadcasters noted that Bryant's lips could be easily read, and urged the camera crew working the game to "take the camera off him right now for the children watching at home."

Bryant has since apologized for the incident, saying that he means no disrespect to the gay and lesbian community. The damage has been done already, however, as many pro gay and lesbian organizations have already begun to criticize the star athlete.

The NBA has also announced that it has fined Bryant $100,000 for his actions. Maybe after this incident gets its allotted publicity, athletes might just find that hurling insults and scream like spoiled children during a game just isn't the way to go
