It's usually because they're just so absurd or really lack even the most tenuous of news angles to give them the go-ahead. Other times it's because they're just absolute horseshit. But every Friday until we get sick of running them, we'll present to you some of these not-so-shiny gems. All items should be treated as [Sic'd]. Enjoy...

"Yep, Tim Legler still likes to party and apparantly sponsors some sort of team with his namesake. Go Phillies."

I don't really have much of an opinion about Joe Buck but I don't see how you can defend what Artie Lange did last night, It was fucking juvenile and it had no business being done on a show like that or any show. I know you view yourselves as some kind of truth meter that's gonna route out all the people that you perceive to be BS artists. You make a point of pointing out how phony and thin skinned these "celebrities" are, but whenever somebody critiques what you or one of the million other sites on the blogosphere you usually show yourselves to be every bit as think skinned as them. Just my opinion

Your site blows, I guess that really isn't a tip ?

Stalking Steve Nash

One For The Footie Fans

The former ESPN soccer commentator and egomaniac had a little Facebook explosion last night. I have pasted some of the choice comments where he slags on Adu, Donovan and basically calls the team a bunch of pussies on the attached image. If only someone could remind Eric that exactly 11 years before yesterday's loss to Italy, he and his buddies tucked their cocks between their legs at France 98 and lost 2-0 to germany. What an asshole.

With Sincere Apologies To Choi Young-hoon

(Ed. Note: I do apologize. I was flattered by his emails. Hopefully, we can still talk for his story.)

Yes. It's a slow news day. Perhaps you will enjoy Legler with some ladies more.

Anyway, Legler apparently was "partying" — as much as retired 3-point specialists can "party" — at New York City hotspot Home the other night and ended up with a drink in his face. (A vodka tonic, to be exact.) Page Six reports:

Tim was doused with a drink by a girl who caught him cheating on her red-handed," claimed our spy. "She confronted him, there was a shouting match, then threw a full vodka and tonic in his face, then stormed out."

In another example of why working in PR is the worst job in the world, a poor ESPN spokesperson was trotted out and propped up to say, "Tim said he did not get a drink thrown in his face that night, but he did have a discussion with a girl there." He then crawled back in the bathroom, stared in the mirror for an hour and wondered why, exactly, he didn t listen to his mom when she told him to keep his summer job working at the feed store in the town square. "There s always work in corn," she d told him. But he just didn t listen.
