Gilbert Arenas Is A Bit Perturbed
Well, here’s some drama to mix into an otherwise smooth Team USA ride. Gilbert Arenas says that the “groin injury” that caused him to be removed from the USA’s roster was an excuse so he’d avoid the humiliation of being cut. Some quotes from a Washington Post article… “They already knew what they wanted. They

Elsewhere…
Just to point you in the direction of some of the things I’ve been doing over at The Fanhouse. You can find all of my things here, but I’ll hit some of the highlights for you. • A hard-hitting feature on the girl jerseys for sale at NFLShop.com. • The Vikings may be interested in

Latrell Sprewell Said To Be Impressive In His Minnesota Vikings Tryout
I saw this yesterday morning on Deadspin, and I really can’t believe it’s not getting more attention know. I mean, it’s not everyday that Latrell Sprewell gets in trouble for choking someone. Okay, that happens. But when he grabbed P.J. Carlesimo’s neck, it wasn’t during sex. I don’t think so, anyway, but there may have

Backdoor Cuts – 03/31/06
• Unsilent Majority has put together a list of the best pre-game rap songs over at Kissing Suzy Kolber, as a compliment to Big Daddy Drew’s Pre-Game Playlist Fit For a Fucking Badass. Fantastic. Any other suggestions? I’d go with Shook Ones, Part II, by Mobb Deep. It makes me feel like I have it

Great News For The Liquor Stores In The Greater Oakland Area
Don Nelson’s coming to town. The Warriors had been considering this move for a long time, but were a little embarrassed to make it official. It is, after all, Don Nelson. But when the Raiders brought back Jeff George yesterday, the Warriors front office looked around the room at each other, shrugged, and said, “Ah,

Jeff George, Ladies And Gentlemen
As I’m sure you know by now, the Oakland Raiders signed Jeff George yesterday. And if you didn’t know that, you probably think I’m fucking with you. But much like Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross… I am not fuckin’ with you. I really wish it had been some team other than the Raiders who

Mike Tyson Still Has A Way With The Ladies
From the “Scene and Heard” part of this article in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, via BenMaller.com… More on Mike Tyson’s bizarre go-go dancing marathon at OPM (Forum Shops at Caesars), that ended at dawn Saturday. Tyson “borrowed” about two dozen bar towels to hand out as souvenirs. He’d towel off the sweat and toss the

Stem Cells And Your Favorite Striker
Something about this feels kinda … off-putting. Five professional soccer players in Europe have had stem cells from their newborn babies frozen, for the potential future use in repairing their own bodies. So, for example, if Joe Cole (and I’m just using him as an example) rips up his ACL in a few years, we
