Grand Quarterback Pronouncements Based On A Few Preseason Drives

Olympic Cyclist Sent Home After Getting Really, Really Wasted
Belgium's Gijs Van Hoecke had an OK showing last week: a 15th-place finish in the multi-discipline omnium, and part of a ninth-place sprint team.

Would You Like To Donate Money To A $50,000 Sarah Phillips Documentary? If So, You Are Too Late
A few days ago, someone wanted to raise $50,000 for a Sarah Phillips documentary.

But this proposed documentary didn't set out to wrestle broader themes like creepy scams...
Frank Martin Is A Big Fan Of Pitbull And That Is Weird
South Carolina men's basketball coach Frank Martin is some kind of walking contradiction. On the one hand, he's got a haircut befitting a goon in the inevitable Dick Tracy reboot, and when he screams at his players he looks exactly like kind of guy who relished voting for Nixon....

NASCAR Announcer Cannot Remember His Broadcast Partner's Name
Everything about this is just a mess. ESPN NASCAR announcer Marty Reid has an absolute brain fart on air when introducing his booth-mates before throwing in the towel.
