Getting beat to a good post on SpoFi

I'm the proud father of a new ... blog! Why the hell not -- every else has one, and at least I know the difference between "your" and "you're". Visit me at From Hoosier To Hoser. Thanks!

The most amazing bowling story you'll ever read: Bill Fong is tied as the 15th-best competitive league bowler in Plano, Texas. One night in January two years ago, he almost achieved immortality. And then again, maybe he achieved it anyway.

Adam Scott Wins the Masters

I was going to answer, Rogers, but this says it better than I could: It is now the the weapon of choice but the long putter must go belly-up.

Belly putter = give the jacket back. Fucking ridiculous.

28 Fans Injured at Daytona by Crash Debris

YouTube has reinstated those videos and in essence told NASCAR to go pound salt.

ESPN did absolutely nothing to cover the chaos in the stands, and even lead SportsCenter with Danica Patrick as opposed to the crash.

Someone is terribly afraid of offending the head shitkickers.

SportsFilter: The Friday Huddle

I dunno. I appreciate the enthusiasm, but a game-tying goal in the regular merits this? What happens if scores an actual game winner? Fireworks shoot out the top of his head?

Two NASCAR Drivers Are Dating

Didn't she just announce she was divorcing her husband last week? Ah, sorry, no, announced in November but filed January 3rd. Still kinda makes me wonder if Stenhouse was in the henhouse.

As I said when Lewis botched an easy interception, apparently murder charges aren't the only thing that gets dropped around him.

Clowney's monster hit sparks Gamecocks' Outback Bowl win

Seen, played and coached a lotta ball, and it takes quite a bit for me to lean back and say, "Oh my God."

Oh. My. God.

Novak Djokovic Buys Up World's Supply of Donkey Cheese

It is true that Zasavica is the only town in the world which milks donkeys for cheese, but Guy Fieri will attest that if you try it on the males, you end up with a handful of Donkey Sauce.

This would be funnier if it would let me make the damned trademark symbol.

The clarification is it was a mistake on my part -- not sure why I typed that. The blocker never makes contact with Smith's head. Watch the video frame-by-frame and see if you come to a different conclusion, although I don't know how you could.

You can advance the video pretty much frame-by-frame. Watch Devin Smith's head -- how is it bouncing toward Bell if he's hitting him in the helmet?

The video shows Bell's shoulder hitting Smith's chest and head, and then the elbow following through on the chest. He never touches his head.

As for trying to trying to "light him up," well, no shit. You can light a player up legally and cleanly. This is a video demonstration of it.

You're going to have to explain to me how you can explode your hips without crouching a bit.

And unless you have a completely different video from me, you'll also have to point out the strutting. Where is it? He levels the guy and walks toward the sideline. Walking = strutting?

I dunno about the Deadspin comments, but I'm guessing yerfatma is right (he usually is). The best one I've seen so far boils down to people trying to legislate the violence out of a violent game. I agree with that and I just wonder how the hell you can hit someone legally and still have it be unnecessary?
