NEWS: Giuliani's Son is a Baby and Brett Favre: Do We Care?


Alert, Alert! The ill-thought-out lawsuit of the day goes to Rudy Giuliani's son, Andrew Giuliani. (I should mention that Rudy is a former mayor of New York City AND a "I failed miserably" presidential candidate)

So Andrew Giuliani is suing Duke University over wrongful dismissal from its golf team. The coach had to cut the team down to 13 players (from what I don't know, so how good Andrew really is, well isn't apparent) and poor Andrew didn't make that list. So in 198 pages of what I'm sure is mind numbling bafoonery, he's suing, claiming getting cut from the Duke University golf team interferes with his "plans to become a professional golfer."

HELLO? Andrew, buddy, IF you want to be a professional golfer, you don't have to go to college to do that. College sports involve my word of the day: AMATEURS. If you are really THAT GOOD, well you could drop everything (including your classes, binge drinking, and sketchy hookups) and leave Durham, NC immediately for the pros. Because if you are THAT GOOD, you can apply for that tour card pronto. (Think of guy named Tiger and school named Stanford.) Being on some collegiate golf team doesn't equate to becoming a professional later, only that you received some cushy athletic scholarship to help pad your personal finances post graduation in that cushy career you'll get for being the former major of New York City's son.

* If he wins this lawsuit, every person who's been fired has grounds to sue his or her former employer because getting canned "interfered with plans of being CEO"

MY VERDICT:

"Your honor, objection to grounds of lawsuit."

"SUSTAINED."


Also just reported: "Report: Brett Favre does not have Packers issued cell phone"

Wow, this is definitely front page worthy (it was at 9:35 AM on espn.com)...Is anyone following la saga de Favre to this level of detail? If the jr. reporter couldn't immediately post this on the internet and had to put it in print, I think he would have thought twice about the waste of time it is.

Tomorrow's headline: "Report: Brett Favre didn't take pee in Packers locker room"
