Who Wouldn't?

Pro Golfer would rather get drunk than play golf. John Daly misses tee time. He's the everyman golfer, an inspiration to Joe 12-packs everywhere.

Giants to do battle in Superbowl

Tomorrow is Super Sunday and there seems to be another battlefield beyond the gridiron as politicians from New York and Massachusetts wage their own pissing contest. The wager pits local food fares against one another.Both governors pledged to donate the meals to charity.This sends me a mixed message. The losers donate to the needy? Does this mean that their respective constituents can starve,and they'll feed another's if only their team were to lose? The controversy does not end there. Are the Giants really a New York team? "... in case no one noticed, the Giants do not play in New York" ~ James L.Cassella - mayor of East Rutherford, N.J. When the New York Giants won the Super Bowl in 1987, former mayor Ed Koch refused to allow a victory parade in the city, saying they should instead hold a parade in New Jersey, where the Giants play at the Meadowlands. Go Islanders!

New York Islanders sign Colin Powell!

Well, not exactly, but that headline sounds better than "Colin meets Wang!"

The Fun Police

... are at it again. "Bargain booze" under attack. Tennis to become (even more) boring.

Maybe I should wrestle more than indecision

WWE more tolerant than Home Depot.

The Slaughter Rule

No, I'm not referring to the 2002 movie scored by Jay Farrar of Uncle Tupelo fame. I refer instead to that which is also known as the Mercy Rule. It allows the losing team to not feel forced to play out an obviously losing and perhaps embarrassing game. It can be used in sports and games,so why not in life? In poker one has the option to fold (or bluff) when dealt a bad hand. If a movie sucks, one can get up and leave. A bad meal at a restaurant, "check please!" So why is just the mere thought of someone making an "early exit" so socially unacceptable? Why is Jack Kevorkian so vilified? What of free will and the pursuit of happiness? Freedom of choice should refer to so much more than just a Devo album. Oh but I digress,perhaps a better rule to employ would be that "Do Over" thing so often used in child's play. Who knows? Gotta go now, sooo sleepy.

R.I.P. Evel

The world has lost a hero, but we still have Fonzie and Lance Murdock. On a lighter note there's this and more.

Well, it is Vansterdam...

The mascots have been unveiled for the 2010 Olympic Games to be held in Vancouver, British Columbia. Is that Sasquatch? It looks as if someone's been hittin' the BC Buds. Here's some more Canadian icons, and an unusual movie guide.

"without question the most intimidating pitcher of his era"

Here's an interesting read on Dock Ellis. I sometimes refer to him as Dock Ellis-D. He was one of the most unusual characters ever to play America's great national pastime.

"It's no feat if he had to cheat."

F' Bonds! Strip him of his record. Let Pete, aka Charlie Hustle, in the Hall! And for those who cry racism as my anti-Barry motivation, remember that the true Home Run King is Black.
