Forget the eye-gouging and subsequent hemming and hawing. I'm most shocked that Colin Farrell wasn't at a cocktail party full of violence and cheap shots.

No outcry at Georgia's helmets for wearing blackface? #brandonspikes

Actually, during the American Civil War, Confederate soldiers often gave Union soldiers five seconds to "say yer prayers" before leveling them with a buck-and-ball from a rifled musket. #brandonspikes

"It was totally unintentional," Richt said. "They were totally just playing ball.

Richt then added, "OMG, like, I mean, seriously, this is like, football, not some, I don't know, you know?" #brandonspikes

Another video that mysterious did not get passed around . . . is one of Georgia linebacker Nick Williams leveling the one and only Tim Tebow

Not all that surprising - such videos were forbidden by the Nicene Creed.

"They were totally just playing ball. That might have got him bent out of shape."

I understand the doctor was just being glib, but writing that on Kevin Everett's hospital chart was TOTALLY out of line. #brandonspikes

I have an idea that should ease tensions in this spirited rivalry: Even more frequent Posada mound visits. #brandonspikes

It's like knowing in your gut your spouse is cheating but you look the other way until you have the proof. Hello Proof! Raja Bell - vindicated. And the clothesline on Kobe? You can put part of tthe blame on the refs for that one. #timdonaghy

How many people serve prison sentences of 1-2 years for fraud that don't have an accomplice? Exactly. It takes more than just one guy to pull off what Donaghy was able to. Donaghy was the scapegoat...

Its amazing to think that there are people that believe the game isn't rigged. Look at the game when Kobie cracked Bibby on the mouth with his elbow. then look at how he cracked Orlandos Magic point guard in the mouth at almost the Identical spots and no foul was called on Kobe even though it was obvious. Remember there were College players busted for fixing games so don't fool yourself into believing that it can't happen in the nba. Donaghy can't be making this up. He gives detailed insight on what happened in specific games. If it wasn't true , the nba would be able to disprove it by researching all the games he is talking about and say look its not true.

Gambling by Professional Athletes , Coaches , And Referees is not that uncommon !!

In December of 1999 Arnie Wexler, a compulsive-gamblers counselor, went to the National Basketball Association office in Manhattan and met with league officials, players and union officials, concerned about players' gambling. He recalled being told, "We have a problem, and we're trying to find out how bad the problem is" Wexler, a resident of Bradley Beach and former executive director of the New Jersey Council on Compulsive Gambling, was told to keep his calender open from January through March, to allow him to address every team in the league.

When he didn't hear from the NBA in a few weeks he called and asked, "When do we start?"

You don't, he was told. "They said, "The higher ups didn't want the media to find out.' "

The talks were canceled.
