Maddux becomes ninth pitcher in MLB history to reach 350 wins Greg Maddux reached another milestone in his long, brilliant career. It might have meant more to a catcher making his big-league debut than it did to the pitcher with Hall of Fame credentials.

As I hear it, Greg has moved on from hookers to first born males ...just a rumor however. His obscene God complex is a fearsome thing to behold. Oh, BRB someone's knocking at the door.....

[Max] Mosley's five-hour encounter with five women in a bondage orgy has prompted accusations of Nazi role-playing and engulfed the Formula One racing world in a leadership crisis that prompted the sport's ruling body Wednesday to announce a meeting of its governing assembly June 3 to decide whether Mosley can keep his post.

Ultimate Fighting Robs The Cradle Want to watch 6-year-olds in the Octagon? Welcome to Missouri, apparently the only state in the union that allows "youth fighting." Says one parent, "We're not training them for dog fighting...I'd rather have my kids here than out on the streets."

Martial arts for self defense = bullshit This is way better than actual parenting for keeping kids off "the streets" = bullshit Better they beat the hell out of each other in a controlled environment like a cage than in the school yard = bullshit Cage fighting is just like Tae Kwon Do = bullshit Parents always make the best decisions regarding the raising of their children = bullshit Anything else = ...bullshit ;-) I do hate biased articles though ...the Today Show piece they just did was a bit better. Did anyone notice the kid whose headgear had been knocked off and was gushing blood from his nose in one of the background shots....

Get a Vasectomy, Enjoy More Roundball "Research shows four out of five guys want to schedule their vasectomy before a major sports event," the Oregon Urology Institute declares in new radio ads. "It's Snip City, and we have the ticket for 24 lucky guys to get their premium vasectomy appointment on the day before the tournament." (Via Rebel Dad.)

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

Night Shift keeps coming to mind but I can't be sure "Midnight Cowboy" maybe? I've never seen it but I think it was one of "those" movies. My cock is overly aggressive ...I'm considering therapy, for him.

Heat awarded do-over against Hawks The teams must replay the last 51.9 seconds due to a scoring error on number of fouls against Shaq.
posted by graymatters at 05:06 PM on January 12
I agree that the result could definately effect the Heat's postseason chances and it is always a travesty when a technical or officiating error has season changing repercussions. On the other hand there is no possible way to recreate the dynamics surounding the last 52 seconds of that particular game, thus rendering the outcome of the do-over questionable. Again, I'm not a fan of either team ...in fact I'm not much of an NBA fan at all any more. I am a fan of Shaq's though; he and Duncan and a few others are the only ones left from pro basketballs glory days.

I'm not entirely convinced that this healthy for proffesional sports in general. With the current groundswell of criticism for pro officiating this may well open a can of worms that should remain sealed. I realize that it was not the officiating crew that made the mistake but most will not acknowledge the difference. I firmly believe that once a game is in the record books ...leave it well enough alone. 100% fairness and accuracy in anything of a competitive nature is impossible and we have managed to live with and accept that reality till now. Next thing you know we will be flying pro teams all over the country to reply the final seconds of controversially called games. Of course I could be overreacting a bit ;-) Acctually now that I've written this diatribe I realize that I probably don't really give a damn....

Casualties of the NFL: The fits, when they come, turn him as white as the walls and send unself-conscious tears down his cheeks. It's DeMarco at 35: dirt-poor, broken, and in a headfirst spiral, taking his wife and children down with him. .... "There was no food in the house, and I mean none -- not a box of mac and cheese or a can of tuna ..... Brian and Autumn hadn't eaten in a couple of days and between them had 75 cents. Total." A harrowing account of post-NFL experiences.

I'm welling up ....there are so many sad stories like these in the world, and I'm exposed to them frequently, but it would take some pretty thick skin not to be moved by this article. Just 1/100th of the salaries of todays players would more than take care of all of these guys for the rest of thier tortured lives. It is a sad, sad state of affairs....

I Am Bill James and I Am Smarter Than You. The only way to make your team succeed is to undergo a harsh rebuilding process where nearly each and every one of your core players is acquired through the draft. What if you can't draft, or afford the outrageous signing bonuses top picks get nowadays? Too bad bitch.

I'm sorry to have to put it so bluntly but I couldn't even bring myself to finish reading that piece of crap. Unfortunately, if there was any satirical humor to be found, it was lost in the rediculously overdone attempt at ...well I don't really know what it was... Of course, I'm sure the author has a hearty "Fuck You" in mind for me, lol.

Cougars win first NCAA game in 24 years. Cougars win first NCAA game in 24 years. Fans chanted Tony! Tony! before the game, then Washington State (26-7) went out and won its first NCAA tournament game since George Raveling's team beat Weber State in 1983. That sure is a long time without a win!

It's a dead link BMW... the Cougars are a fun story though.

Really cool Sports business Hey, take a look at this sports business "Sport Deeds" I think the idea is really cool. With the millions spent on sponsorships, marketing and advertising this seems to be a way for the smaller guy - i.e. Me! to get involved. Thought it was really cool

'American sports are played with the hands. Using your feet is for commies'. Millions of children grow up in America playing football. But they all give up by the age of 10. Award-winning writer Dave Eggers explains just why his country will never understand the sport they insist on calling soccer.
