• Ah, my groin!: Man, the way Mario Gomez gets treated by his teammate, you'd think he scored on his own goal. [Off The Post]

• Yes ... "training buddies": Just because Ian Thorpe has been living and traveling the world for three years with a hot Brazilian swimmer who also happens to be a dude, that doesn't make him gay or anything. [ Outsports]

• And the Maryland state: Gary Williams is running out of friends in the Maryland athletic department [ Inside Charm City]

• As if anyone important ever went to Princeton: Brian Williams mixes up two bald basketball-playing black guys on national TV and the whole state of Oregon gets bent out of shape about it. Everyone knows those college scarves all look alike. [ Graney and the Pig]

• Not a method actor: "You know, maybe if you just dribble this basketball it will make you look like a natural and unforced 'regular guy' and less like a painfully awkward underemployed commercial actor. On second thought ..." [ I Dislike Your Favorite Team]
