“IT’S ALL ABOUT BEING ON TV”

The Canadian media is pissed, but Miami Heat power forward Chris Bosh has flat out admitted he changed basketball teams this offseason soley for the exposure.

Bosh told a group of Canadian writers he left the Toronto Raptors because, “Really, it’s all about being on tv at the end of the day.” Bosh added, “A guy can average 20 and 10 (points and rebounds), and nobody really cares. If you don’t see it (on U.S. national television), then it doesn’t really happen.”

Bosh joined LeBron James and Dwyane Wade signing with the Miami Heat this offseason. The Heat play the maximum allowable number of games on ABC, ESPN and TNT. The Heat season opener set the all-time ratings record for TNT Tuesday. Their game against the Boston Celtics was the most watched NBA game in cable television history.

BASEBALL BLOGGER/COMPUTER GEEK BACK ON TOP

PAUL DEPODESTA

If you’ve ever read the book “Moneyball,” the hero of Michael Lewis’ best-seller was young executive Paul DePodesta. Or, rather, DePodesta’s computer. DePodesta was GM Billy Beane’s right-hand man with the Oakland A’s.

Following the release of “Moneyball,” DePodesta was hired as GM of the Los Angeles Dodgers, The Dodgers won a division title in DePodesta’s one season as a Big League general manager before he was fired by the crazy-ass McCourts.

One of the first moves by recently named New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson was to hire DePodesta as part of his effort “to get the band back together” and hire a number of former A’s executives.

DePodesta became famous for leading the A’s to 103 wins and an A.L. West title in 2002 after his computer came up with career backup catcher Scott Hatteberg as the replacement for A.L. MVP Jason Giambi. DePodesta is also famous for suing to get his name removed from “Moneyball” the movie. He was apparently unhappy with the choice of a fat guy (Jonah Hill) to play him while Brad Pitt was cast as the Billy Beane character.

In recent years DePodesta has worked for the San Diego Padres and been a blogger.

STEROIDS SCANDAL ERUPTS AMIDST LEAST-WATCHED WORLD SERIES IN HISTORY

JOSE GUILLEN

Bud Selig must be in hiding. With the San Francisco Giants holding a 2-0 lead in the 2010 World Series, news broke Thursday night that the sport of baseball may suddenly be engulfed in yet another steroids scandal. News leaked that Giants outfielder Jose Guillen has been linked to a federal drug investigation.

The Guillen story was first reported by the New York Times. U.S. customs agents reportedly intercepted a package of human growth hormone sent to Guillen’s house in his wife’s name. Guillen was mysteriously left off the Giants postseason roster for all three rounds of the playoffs.

MLB.com is now reporting that Guillen was left off the Giants postseason roster as a direct result of the Feds informing Major League Baseball of his involvement in an investigation of an illegal drug shipment. Guillen was also reportedly linked to a shipment of PEDs in 2007.

IN AN EFFORT TO BE STONED TO DEATH BY ANGRY MOBS HEDGE FUND MANAGERS THROW LARGEST PARTY IN WORLD HISTORY

 

RICH DOUCHES ATTEMPT TO THROW LARGEST PARTY EVER (ACTUAL PHOTOS FROM WEBSITE)

Where are the angry mobs when you really need them? In an apparent effort to be stoned to death, a group of hedge fund managers is attempting to throw the biggest, richest party in the history of the world.

Although they claim it’s for charity, the London-based group is charging 80,000 people $159,000 apiece to get into their party at 80 different sites around the world. They are even submitting a Guinness Book claim saying this is the largest party ever. Simon Cowell, Elizabeth Hurley and Uma Thurman are already confirmed as celebrities attending The Global Party.

The party was started by a rich guy named “Fink” as well as a Pakistani prince. Stanley Fink says the party is based on the one thrown by the Phileas Fogg character in the Jules Verne book “Around the World in 80 Days.”

As the Wall Street Journal points out, “If you have to ask, you’re not invited.”
