Peter King was just looking for her lipstick...breast cancer isn't contagious is it?
oh and Shoals' post was the greatest thing the blogosphere has seen since MJD gave voice to Joey Porters' dogs.
Shoals needs a pictogram for 'whimsy' and then Big Baby can draw a visual representation of Will posting on Deadspin.
Scottie Pippen - 2nd most overrated player of all time (only behind Malone, Karl).
I kinda wanted to cry a little when I saw that, out of beauty.

There is no imaginable way that Scottie Pippen could ever be as overrated as one Patrick Ewing.
I have Ewing 3rd, for what it's worth.
And I do not find it coincidental that Yao has his breakout year right after Ewing leaves as an assistant coach (the Ewing Theory lives!)
Pippen was the jack-of-all-trades.... great defender, rebounder, passer, and unselfish player. I'd say go read the post, but then I'm missed since I wrote it!
Cubs still and always will fucking suck!!
Well, neither Pippen nor Ewing hold a candle to Manute Bol who has to be one of our greatest underrated players ever.....right?
I have Manute 2nd behind Gheorge.
Favre's wife had her purse stolen?
It probably was her fault when she said, "Brett honey. Can you throw me my purse."
She should have known someone else would catch it and run with it with Brett chasing after him.
the freeDarko post was absolute genius.
apropos of nothing, I would absolutely ABUSE Hansborough at ping-pong
True....Gheorge might be a better dancer....http://youtube.com/watch?v=b1qEBvPmI1s

I know we've reached our soccer quota for the week with that FAB-ulous 69 picture, but I really, really need somewhere to vent about about how U.S. Soccer screwed up the Klinsmann hiring. Don't make me join all those people on the foxsoccer.com site.
Shoals/Free Darko: just blew my mind.
good job, everyone. You broke FreeDarko.
spectator - rant away. I wish I could say I was surprised, but I had assumed that Gulati would fuck it up all along.
And how about that boring Champions League game from Arsenal?
Today, we spell redemption D-A-R-K-O
Free Darko is underrated.
Pippen isn't.
Let the "the Butler did it" jokes commence.
I loved watching Pip chase a guy down on a fast break and swat away the attempted layup without ever touching the player. Lots of guys seem to do it now, but he was the first I remember seeing do it regularly.
I think its cute that Iverson is demanding a trade now, when for years the Sixers were demanding teams to trade with them so the team can unload him.
spectator - rant away. I wish I could say I was surprised, but I had assumed that Gulati would fuck it up all along.
They clearly HAD a deal on the table but Gulati wouldn't cede control (i.e., he wanted to make sure that MLS players like Lumox Donovan wouldn't be left off the squad). Whatever progress that U.S. soccer has made over the last 10 years or so is totally out the window. But hey, I hear Sven Goran Erikson is still available.
And how about that boring Champions League game from Arsenal?
Geez, that was like games theory brought to life -- if it's a tie, both teams win. Arsenal are going to get their asses handed to them by Chelsea this weekend, but it will be funny to see all the bank notes waved by the Gunners supporters whenever Ashley Cole touches the ball.
Oh, and I also agree that the Freedarko post is true genius. My only complaint is that I want to see more of them.
we'll see about the Gunners and Chelski, but it should be amusing either way to see Cole's reaction.
As for Gulati - I think you're exactly right, he just wouldn't bend over for Klinsmann.
"As for Gulati - I think you're exactly right, he just wouldn't bend over for Klinsmann."
But, Lando(n) Donovan would have...
That Darko post was absolutely fucking brilliant.
But two things: first, he says 20 icons but it's actually 25. Second, where is the Suns' offense one that I read about in the comments? All I saw was Agent Zero and TD.
Gulati is, and always has been, a cheap-ass punk who values his own ego over everything else. Until he gets shit-canned and exiled to a desert island, US Soccer is going to be an incompetent circle-jerk between idiots who shouldn't be trusted with a paper route.
Two things - one, the Free Darko post is absolutely genius. It takes it to a new level.
As for Pippen, how anyone that says that he's overrated is simple mindboggling. Without Pippen, Jordan is nothing. He's Vince Carter without the gay. Pippen is one of the greatest teammates of all time, a guy who did it all and yet lived in Jordan's shadow. He took the Bulls to within a bull sh*t Hue Davis foul of the Eastern Conference finals by himself.
And this is coming from a Knicks fan. Know your enemy, people.
Why did USA Soccer want a Klansman to coach the team? Oh, Klinnsman, you say? He's German?
Either way, not good for black people...
