Pitcher really don't like an ump? Have your catcher duck and hit him in the face! On a high fastball, high school catcher ducks as the ball hits ump right on the mask (youtube link).

Josh Beckett Won't Return My Phone Calls Athletes don't trust reporters, reporters resent athletes, and readers don't know their heroes as they used to.

I was there (for real) that afternoon and I agree that this was the 4th most
memorable event of my life and that the day after was the most memorable hang-
-over ever because what the press didn't report was that the main street* of
Lake Placid and Lake Saranac itself (frozen solid of course) was an insane
baccanal till about 3am. What a day for the USA.

Heisman Winner Tim Tebow Circumcises Kids How did Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Tim Tebow spend his spring break? Performing medical and dental surgeries on impoverished children in the Phillipines -- including circumcisions. "The first time, it was nerve-racking," he said. "Hands were shaking a little bit."

Ever think of making a donation to Doctors without Borders? The thousands you
spent would have done a lot of good in professional hands.

'Jaws' Author's Widow Opposes Shark-Fishing Tournament The widow of Jaws novelist Peter Benchley has spoken out against a sport her husband helped popularize with his portrayal of the dead-eyed eating machine that destroyed 1975's tourist season in Amity Island. "Shark-fishing tournaments add to the depletion of sharks," said Wendy Benchley, speaking out against the Oak Bluffs Monster Shark Tournament that had 1,250 entrants last year and in 2006 hooked 2,500 sharks and killed 46, according to the Humane Society. "Peter often said he would never write 'Jaws' now," Wendy said.

George's Bank once the greatest fishing grounds in the world is a fished out
waste land (also the setting of "The Perfect Storm") hence the reference.
Of course we are talking about guys who consider canned hunts with a guide

Critics Go Ape Over LeBron James Magazine Cover A picture of NBA star LeBron James and the model Gisele on the cover of April's Vogue is attracting controversy over their pose. The shot taken by renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz has been compared by some detractors to King Kong holding Fay Wray. ESPN.Com columnist Jemele Hill called it "memorable for all the wrong reasons." The photo is remarkably similar to "Destroy This Mad Brute," a famous World War I recruitment poster.

I was focused on Gisele not LeBron. The so-called controversary surrounding
a spread in a fashion magazine is just another lame diversion from the real
issues of today.

"Sought after" prep player duped into paying for his recruitment. 6'5" 290lb offensive lineman Kevin Hart involves the police after giving an undisclosed amount of money to someone who helped to facilitate his recruitment to Cal over Oregon. Oregon denies interest as does Cal. Nearby Reno PD launches a full blown investigation just as Kevin Hart decides to come clean - he made it all up.

This kid is a very easy target but the whole story is just too sad, a step to
