Adam "Pacman" Jones Gets His First Dallas Endorsement Deal
I think I speak for everyone when I say, "This is Adam Jones; formerly Pacman. I've learned how tough it is to get a second chance," is the most persuasive opening to a commercial in the history of television. Particularly with the 1970's r&b background music. How much money did this company have...
Sometimes You Take What You Can Get
I flipped on the Arena Bowl yesterday for a chance to watch something I haven't seen a long time — a Philadelphia championship.

If the Yankees are going to complete the Fenway sweep of the Red Sox they'll need a solid outing from Sir Sidney Alton Ponson.

Will Ohman Has A Little Will Ferrell In Him
Will Ohman has been a solid reliever for the Braves this year, but this is certainly the first time I've ever taken notice of the veteran. Any jackass can pull off a half-decent Christopher Walken, but getting in the head of Harry Caray is a truly noble pursuit. Thanks to the 700 Level for the vid...

Antonio Margarito Is More Machine Than Man
He's also the new welterweight champion of the world after a stunning 11th round stoppage over previously undefeated superstar Miguel Cotto. And let me just say, holy fucking shit!
