And here I was commiserating with Vladimir Radmonovic about having a separated shoulder. Turns out old Vlad pulled a Beimel and lied about how he got the injury.
You’d think Vlad wouldn’t be so stupid, especially after Joe’s well-publicized truthiness meltdown last year, but:
“Being young and sometimes immature, I initially panicked and made up a false story about how I hurt myself,” the 26-year-old forward said. “However, over the past few days my conscience has been bothering me terribly. I am not a dishonest person and could no longer live with this deception.”
Seems like an honest person wouldn’t have lied in the first place, but never mind that now.
And just for the record, I owned up to my stupidity from the get-go. ;D

“But the 26-year-old forward’s actions on the slopes were definitely a violation of the language in his five-year, $30.2 million contract.”
I’m wondering, TD, did you have the same language in your five-year, $30.2 million contract?

Darn-it, I keep forgetting to read that thing. I should call my agent.
I love being here, but it’s out of my hands now. My dream is to retire a Dodger, but it’s really up to them now. It’s really a matter of respect. I love living in Southern California, as does my wife and family. We’re just going to take it one day at a time, go out there and blog my heart out.
