OK, not really.  But, something like this is actually in the works: “Sources” say that Usain Bolt (fastest guy alive, adoptive parent of adorable cheetah named Lightning Bolt) might race Chris Johnson, of the Tennessee Titans (buyer of cars for his entire O-Line after his 2,000 yard rush season concluded yesterday.)
Our money is on Bolt, [...]

Man, I Feel Like An…Olympic Torch? (That Don’t Impress Me Much)

When we think of the Olympic torch, we think of the fabulousness of photo finishes.  The dedication of athletes who devote their lives to sport.  OK, maybe that parade with the interesting outfits and the incredibly excited athletes from Togo, or the Marshall Islands….all three of them.  Here’s what we don’t think of: Over-moussed country [...]

Roy Halladay: All Class…Brett Favre, Not Much

Former Blue Jay’s pitcher Halladay wanted to say goodbye and thanks to his former fans, who stuck with him when he was really the only bright spot on a pretty terrible team that kept almost being half decent (the worst kind of team to root  for, in our humble opinion.)
He’s off to the Phillies, and [...]

State of the League

Lots of baseball news the past couple days, changing the complexion of a few teams.  We’ll run down what’s been done and offer a few suggestions…are you reading, managers?

Rumors have been flying.  He was drunk.  No, he wasn’t, but the injuries came from his wife hitting him and his car with the golf club.  No, wait…

Bye Bye, A. I.

No, not that strange Hayley Joel Osment flick. We think we’re the only ones who remember that. In fact, does anyone even remember Hayley Joel Osment?
Nope, it’s the big guy, Allen Iverson. Apparently he “still has love for the game and the desire to play.” But he’s retiring at the ripe old age of 34. [...]

Bill Belichick: Finally Too Smart For His Own Good

Pity the poor Pats fan.
Yup, you read it right.  We know, we know. Superbowls, Brady the golden boy, Randy Moss’ ridiculous resurgence, and the all-but-unbeaten (except the Superbowl.  I mean, who counts that!!?!) record.  But last night, Pats fans nationwide–cause this HAD to happen live on camera–squirmed as Bill Belichick made decisions a Madden player [...]
