Equestrian sport too deadly? ....more than a dozen riders many, top level athletes have died around the world, in less than two years.

Eventing evolved directly from calvary exercises
and is not for the faint of heart in fact the
number of horses put down during and after events
exceeds the number of riders( having witnessed
a Soviet horse take one for the Sickle & Hammer
on course in Montreal in 1976) it is NOT a sport
for 16 year olds girls from Scripps Ranch or Greenwich Ct. although Princess Anne of the British
Royal Family was a world class rider in the 70's
(to bad Charlie's the oldest) Horse show mothers
are the worst type of stage mother period.

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. *the only street

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 sport..

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.

Pedro Martinez, Juan Marichal filmed at cock fight A video of Martinez and Marichal at a cockfight was posted this week on YouTube and it showed the two laughing before releasing the roosters. They took part as honourary "soltadores," the word used to describe the person who puts the animal to fight. The fight takes place in their home country, the Dominican Republic, where cockfighting is legal and popular. It is banned throughout the United States

Many Athletes attend cat fights on a regular basis. And while the moral majority may find it cruel and offensive in many cultures nude female mud wrestling is believed to be a sport.

Will it light a spark under the players? That remains to be seen, but the facial expressions of the Brewers I saw makes it pretty clear they got the message -- pick it up or your ass will be gone over the winter.
Is that a Bad Thing?
