I suppose you would fancy a sprited game of cricket instead.

Josh Howard Disrespects National Anthem

Absolutely he has the right to say what he wants. There's nothing illegal about it. That being said, he should know better. I will feel no sympathy for him if the fallout around this costs him his job in Dallas. Maybe New Jersey would be a better fit...

Bengals Resign Troubled Receiver Chris Henry

Touche. I had forgotten about that.

Bengals Resign Troubled Receiver Chris Henry

Week FIVE being the operative. Don't you think they are more than willing to sign a deal with the devil to still have a shot in the first five weeks?

Bengals Resign Troubled Receiver Chris Henry

What do you expect from the town that gave us Jerry Springer. We're talking about a man who, as mayor, attempted to pay a prostitute with a check. I guess the team doesn't fall far behind. Kinda makes Dallas and Oakland look like altar-boys at this point dontcha think?

Henin retires.

I have to respect that she did it without making a year long production out of it. She's got more money than she can spend in three lifetimes, good she should enjoy it. I say, be well and enjoy your retirement.

PGA Dresses Down John Daly for Golfing Topless

Anyone who's ever actually been to Branson knows better than to take this too seriously. Sure, sure, sure, decorum, being a professional and all that but seriously to make a stink over this when it happened on course he owns in a redneck backwater....please. It's like getting pissed at Wolfgang puck for eating fries at McD's while driving cross country. Besides, when I read the thread title, my first thought was that Daly had made some crack about ladies golfing topless...

Harrison asked about shooting

Update: they have matched shell casings from HIS gun to the shooting and found the gun in a bucket at the car wash he owns. Unless Marvin left his gun for his employees (a bonehead move in its own right) he's got some trouble headed his way.

Unbeaten Big Brown comes through to win Kentucky Derby.

Exactly Howard. And the distances in the triple crown too much for a yearling to handle. Tragic that such a beautiful animal will utterly spend itself for just one race.

BCS officials reject playoff proposal

They also knew that as it was presented it had no chance of any serious consideration. There will have to be some pretty serious non-biased, non-converence specific oversight before this gets anywhere. In which case, yeah, anyone reading this will probably be dead of old age or too senile to remember.

The Best Homerun Story Ever

Great read. I would have rather learned about it on ESPN. Maybe some day.

Pacman gives Dallas Cowboys a dual threat:

Thanks sportzblitz. I forgot to mention that in the earlier press release. When asked for his thoughts on the new direction the team is headed, Pacman Jones smiled through his grill and replied: 'As long as there's strippers, call me Big Daddy when you back that thing up'. Also, as it relates to players' defense in ongoing civil and criminal litigation, all fans will be required to submit a DNA sample before entering the stadium. While DNA is 99.9+% accurate, the organization feels that this increases the odds of an exonerating sample thus freeing their players to focus on football. We'll keep you aprised of further developments as they are released.

This is my #1 draft pick...

And the trolls began circling. Some will mention that the art of Sumo is sacred in Japanese culture and that its participants are not only respected but revered. Others will pick nits that this has no business being posted to Football. Others will call you a racist. Finally, others will offer coaching tips on agility and blocking techinques. The latter might be amusing, but you asked for the rest.
