Celtics are rumored to be the most aggressive bidder for Chris Paul. Listen, I'm all about rent-a-players, but doesn't it make more sense to get them towards the end of the season? Sure, we miss out on the advantage of having CP3 the entire season, but what if we trade Rondo, Green & a first rounder for Paul and then we don't even make it out of the 1st round of the playoffs? Then we've lost our younger nucleus (assuming Celts sign Green to a multi-year deal), and with Ray Ray, KG and Paul Pierce all so old they will be heading to Red Lobster at 4:30 PM every night for dinner, the Celtics are left with....Avery Bradley and a 2nd rounder?

Just what everyone is looking for - 54 different "Top 10" lists from Time Magazine for the year 2011. Is there some significant connection between the numbers 54 and 2011 that I don't know about? Why choose such a random number? And, more importantly, is there anyone who works at Time Magazine that is under the age of 45? I can't be the only person to question the credibility of a "Top 10" list from Time Magazine

Following up on a fantastic piece by the team over at 60 Minutes (for Sunday NFL fans, it's the show that runs after the 4 pm game if finished on CBS when you are too lazy to reach for your remote), it notes that members of Congress have zero accountability when it comes to insider trading. How the hell is this not illegal? Is there some way I can cash in on this? There MUST be! Time to go make some congressional staffer friends in DC....
On a side note, kudos to Congress for the acronym on the new piece of legislation: the "STOCK" act. The use of acronyms by Congress to name their bills kills me every time. I swear that sometimes bills are simply written solely based upon the acronym.

J.J. Abrams of Lost? Check. Plotline based in Maine? Check. On the CW Network? Check. I'm sold.

Kristin Wiig dating a member of The Strokes. Wait....WHAT?! I could have sworn that Kristin Wiig was married....and after a little research, I see that she was. To this guy! Let the record show that it isn't only men that dump their "Before I was famous" significant other and look for an upgrade once they reach celebrity status.
