Love, sex , drugs and the IPL

For now, i prefer the front pages to the sports and stock pages. Between Lalit Modi and Shashi Tharoor they have created the equivalent of a bowl out in T20 cricket. All the ingredients of love (for money) sex (for glamour) and drugs (for performance) makes this an ideal topic for money and other things.

It has been well known for a long time now that there are curtains behind curtains of ownership of the franchises, and that ownership has nothing to do with the investments. In fact control always was and always will be with the powers that be in BCCI. In this case what probably happened was the Kochi franchise owners, bid a little more than what they were advised to thereby upsetting the apple cart for Ahmedabad who had already paid for and been committed to.

When the proverbial sh... hits the ceiling, a lot of unrelated stuff spills out, such as Shashi Tharoors

external affairs, Lalit Modis graduation from armed robbery to daylight robbery, Sunanda Pushkars nose and other jobs..

Wow...why cant they postpone the rest of the IPL matches so we can pay undivided attention and play the role of cheerleaders for this soap opera?
