Whoa.
Every now and then, I’ll read about someone’s odd behavior, and it will just cause me to raise my eyebrows and leave them there for a few hours while I try to convince myself again that human beings really are inherently decent. This… is one of those stories. Eric Klope, Casey Shumate, and Joe Razzano,

Another MJ comeback?
Michael Jordan’s been working out with NBA players in Chicago, and reportedly “holding his own.” And this article at FoxSports.com, and Lang Whitaker at SLAMonline.com both report that Michael could be planning a return to the NBA… where he’d play for the Miami Heat. I give this rumor like a 3% chance of actually having

The least funny sitcom ever?
The fine folks at CBS are working on putting together a sitcom based around the life of Bob Knight. I can’t wait. Talk about one of the all-time comedy geniuses of all-time… Bob Knight was born to make us laugh. I think Bob Knight, and I think unbridled joy. I can’t wait to see the

College Football Mailbag
Stewart Mandel does some research on the most consistently overrated and underrated teams in college football over the past 10 years. It may not shock you to learn that Notre Dame is one of the most consistently overrated teams… I wonder how that happened. His research also just happens to prove that the “west coast

Garnett unloads the Uzis on Rick Rickert
T’Wolves rookie Rick Rickert put a move on Kevin Garnett at an informal practice the other day, and scored on KG. According to Charley Walters of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, Garnett then punched him in the face. I think those are outstanding leadership skills for the MVP to be displaying. That will really encourage

Bush twins take in some Olympic wrestling
Barbara Bush: “[Jenna and Barbara] were a huge hit in Greece. George and I were a little concerned. The entire American wrestling team wanted to date them.” Um… I don’t think “date” is the word you’re looking for, there, Barbara. I don’t think any of the wrestlers were looking at the Bush twins and thinking,

Virginia Tech has hit the ceiling
Matt Hayes of the Sporting News sees Virginia Tech as a program firmly entrenched in decline. I tend to agree, but to me, the biggest reason is one that Hayes doesn’t even mention: glitter on their helmets. That’s right. Virginia Tech has glittery helmets. Intimidating. Anyway, Hayes says Pitt and WVU passed them in the

Fuck Milk
Tremendous. Now I have to boycott milk. Archie, Peyton, and Eli have signed up to do a “got milk?” ad. This is right up Eli’s alley, as he’s no stranger to having creamy white substances smeared across his upper lip. For those of you looking for something new to put on your dartboard, it’ll be

Brazilian marathoner who was tackled by wackjob wants duplicate golds
I’m sure you’ve seen or heard about this crazy bastard by now. The crazy ex-priest with an apparent leprechaun fetish jumped on the track towards the end of the marathong and tackled the leader, eventually causing him the lose the race and finish third. Like so many young boys across the world, Vanderlei de Lima

Favorite moments from Athens…
They extinguished the giant joint last night, officially ending the Olympics… which is sad, since there are really no other sports going on right now. So let’s drag out the Olympic discussion, shall we? I’d like to hear from the rest of the gang here about their single favorite moment from the Olympics. I’ve got
