Damn - there go my hopes for early retirement... At least I got the walk down memory lane - thanks for that!

Maybe Tiger's woes are more indicative of the way the course is playing than where his head is at. Finally someone has designed a course that really requires accuracy over distance. And I'm not saying that I don't feel for the guy, or that his mindset shouldn't impact his game at this time - but let's be honest: even when he's at his peak he still tends to have difficulty keeping the ball on the fairway. And this time around the roughs are so deep that Tiger's ability to pull off the incredible chips shots from the high grass, giving himself a chance to win even when he can't buy a fairway, is simply not enough to get it done...

Shaq did indeed jump to his feet and laugh off the fact that he was tackled. But I believe you'll agree the hit is not going to be taken lightly by the league if you'll check this out.

Anyone see the hit Stack put on Shaq? If the league stays true to form, he's gonna miss a game or two (were this the regular season I'd say they give him a five game suspension at the least). Stack made zero effort to even make it look like he was going for the ball. He just clubbed Shaq in the head with a forearm to the side of his face. Streetballers are rarely so agressive- it was that bad. And the effect on the team chemistry could go either way (I'd say it would harm them but then look what happened to Phoenix when that "kid" Raja Bell clothselined Kobe).

How does that song in Office Space go? The one when they kick the crap out of the fax machine...?

When did Trampolines become a recognized sport? And, what wingnut said.

Maybe it's more similar to smoking or not smoking? Some people like to smoke even though they know the risks. I like this comparison - goes well with whomever made the natural selection comment above. Reducing the number of stupid people in the world would certainly have a greater, more positive impact on government spending, which ultimately benefits the people (though admittedly not as much as a Super Bowl title - but then, the Steelers just got one of those, so perhaps the big guy upstairs was just doing the folks in the Pitts a solid before taking care of business).

Prefers not to wear a helmet? Terry Bradshaw admonishes him for potentially damaging his career? Does he not recognize his responsibility to his team and the city of Pittsburgh? I am not a Steelers fan - but I am a fan of loyalty, responsibility and respect: three qualities Big Ben apparently has forgotten (assuming he knew them to begin with). I'm glad to hear he's conscious and feel for Steelers fans everywhere.

Ditto what tieguy said. How pathetic must two teams be that not one camera crew - local, national, or otherwise - is broadcasting the game? Even Babe Ruth League games are carried on local access television, and very few of those kids are multimillionaires.

All I know is win or lose I'll be telling people I'm Canadian when I go to Italy later this month... Interesting article, eh?

If the Heat play the way they did against Detroit, spreading the floor and crashing the boards, feeding Shaq the ball when he's in position and keeping him off the foul line (fewer than 8 free throws per game), then I say Miami in 7.

Suing L'Equipe only keeps the story alive. I gotta wonder how much money that is worth to Lance, as he could get bit in the ass if he pursues the matter - not just as a result of the continued association between he and EPO (regardless of the fact that he was vindicated) but also due to the naysayers and their continued accusations, which certainly would not go away...

Back to what BullpenPro said at the top, I'd love to see stats on Clemens' weight gain and performance in the latter stages of his career. I'm thinking there is a solid case here for a conspiracy theorist. Nonetheless, if the BoSox had got him I'd be ecstatic right now- and who cares about the monopoly money anyhow?

Prosecutor in Duke Case Disbarred by Ethics Panel
Was it their participation in a team sport that made people believe they were more likely to be guilty, or the fact that the sport in question is/was Lacrosse?
