Is anyone else following the hearings today?: I didn't want to post to the front page about this, but thought maybe an ongoing locker room dump on Clemens/McNamee/Congress would be enjoyable. Admins: delete if you feel this is out of line.

How Good Is Your #4 Starter?: Jeff Sackmann, of The Hardball Times and Brew Crew Ball runs the numbers and concludes: back-rotation starters suck. But you might be surprised at how bad they generally are.

Cricket explained from an American perspective.: I've always been a bit baffled by cricket, and news reports of matches do little to help. If you've ever wondered what's going on, this explains things pretty well.

I wouldn't mind seeing this guy go to prison, but I'd rather see his driving privileges suspended for life.

Yankees in 5 games. MVP: Mark Teixeira Starters will throw under 101.6 pitches, average (a really poor outing by Pedro in Game 2 brings it down).
Average game time: 4:05

So what if, tomorrow, 1000 Minnesotans with Nordic heritage say that the Vikings name is offensive.
I can guarantee that you'd have trouble finding 1 Minnesotan that was so self-important as to think that a team name should be changed on *their* account.
Also, you're going to increasingly ridiculous lengths to defend a racial slur in popular usage. wtf?

This weekend is the World Hard Court Bike Polo Championships in Philadelphia.
I've been holding back from making a post to the front page about this raw and underground new sport, mostly because it's the domain of insufferable hipsters and bike nerds. That said, anybody who's a fan of hockey could totally get with this sport.
Here's a video from the New Year's Championships held in Madison, WI.

As much as I hate Boras, he's kind of got a point here.

I like the Vikings' chances this year, but somebody please pass word to Brett Favre that he can go away forever as soon as it's convenient for him.

The Brewers should sign him and bench him for the season. Obviously, this would completely waste a roster spot, but I can't imagine a competitive disadvantage that could feel better.

I am happy for Geoff Jenkins.
