CNN’s Story

People’s Story

The two stories have some conflicting information, which to me basically says that nothing is certain other than Leno is being cancelled from his 9pm CST slot.

On to point….
Why is it that stars who are past their prime won’t go out gracefully?  (we’ll consider that a rhetorical question)  Moreover, why do the organizations that hire them put up with their bullshit?  Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited about what the Vikings have been able to do this season with Brett Favre lining up behind center, but I don’t agree with the road that got him here.  The Green Bay front office had the right idea in cutting him loose.  Is NBC foolish for allowing Leno to create this mess?  I think so.  The Vikings had a void to fill, and they went after an experienced veteran to fill it.  NBC created a spot for a “player” who had decided to retire and then changed his mind.  That experiment didn’t work out, and now that should be the end of it.  It doesn’t make sense to shake up your “play book” to try to fit another player in.  Too many men on the field.  Five yard penalty.  Repeat the down.

In other news, what is the deal with the Twins’ pitching?  Having a 10-0 lead is no excuse for giving up 7 runs and having the tying run at bat.  Don’t get me wrong, I love the Twins, but if by some miracle they end up winning their division, how are they supposed to go up against the likes of the Yankees in the play-offs if they can’t help but give up 7 runs to the Royals?
