That Looks Like It Hurts
Those of you who woke up with a little bit of a hangover this morning can be thankful for at least one thing: You aren't Fernando Vargas. Look at that eye, man. That is disgusting. Who'd he fight, Deebo? I think that growth just scored an 11 on the Wonderlic....
If Your Wonderlic Score Is Lower Than Your Jersey Number...
...then it's unfortunate that you're wearing #10. It's being reported by profootballtalk.com that Vince Young scored a six on the Wonderlic test. That's six. S-i-x. 6....
About Last Night...
• NBA: Bobcats 121, Suns 136. Both teams had over 100 through 3 quarters. It seems kinda unfair for Charlotte to score 121 points and lose. I didn't think they could score 121 in an empty gym....
Today In College Hoops...
• Syracuse 53, #23 Georgetown 68. Syracuse, very much a Bubble Bitch, comes up with 53 points in what was a very important game for them. They probably still need a big W or two....
About Last Night...
• NBA: Wizards 102, Cavaliers 94. LeBron James was booed by the ill-tempered Cleveland crowd as he missed his final seven free throws down the stretch. A word of advice, Cavs fans: LeBron's contract is up in a year, and if you piss him off too bad... well, I hope you enjoy about 12 Zydrunas Igauskus...
John Rocker Would Like To Knock You Up
Maybe we're just too skeptical today, but this might be too good to be believed: It seems John Rocker has himself a Match.com profile. (His handle is "bullpenjohn," rather than, say, "crackerman1974.")...
Brian Giles Remembers The Little People
Since we're not nearly the pop culture oddity barometer we wish we were, we were not aware of MiniKISS, the band consisting of "little people" who dress up like (and play the songs of) KISS. We're not sure what we can say here, except that we like the idea of the Gene Simmons equivalent having a ...
The J.J. Redick It's OK To Like
This story is a little bit old, and pretty much everyone else has written about it, but we don't care, because we were gone all week and do not want to go down in history as having ignored it....
Ali G Hooks You Up
If you're like us, you had only one thought as Sasha Cohen was accepting her figure skating silver medal on Thursday: How would Ali G describe it? Check out Ali G's possible take on Cohen's silver at The Sports Pulse — which includes the line: "Me is not into batty boy bruvers so Johnny Weir stop ...

Well, silver's nice. • NBA: Artest fails to unleash the madness against Kobe as Lakers top Kings. • Nova...
Now That Was Just Cruel
OK, we were nearly finished — halfway out the door to greet the remains of the day — when a final, fateful e-mail popped into view. We feel we have suffered enough today, what with the Johnny Weir topless photos, "The Pizzle's" French rap technique and unrelenting abuse from Nova Scotia residents....
You Shouldn't Taunt a Longhorn, Probably
On Wednesday, we brought you the delicious, syrupy-sweet dreams of Texas Longhorns football draft prospect Michael Huff. Today, the news is a little more serious and heated. CBS SportsLine has released its top 10 NFL quarterback prospects, and let us just say that Longhorns fans are not pleased. V...

Sasha Cohen: Superstar!
We haven't stopped smiling since we first saw this last night — everyone's darling ice bunny, Sasha Cohen, is apparently even more full of herself than we were led to believe. That is, if the lip-reading ability of one of our readers is on the mark. And why shouldn't it be? Our readers have never ...

Hello, Nova Scotia!
G'day, eh. Just because you worship curling and your island will be the last place on earth to feel the effects of global warming, it's no reason for us to ignore you. So wake up, Nova Scotia, find your mittens, fire up the wood-burning stove and enjoy a special Atlantic Time Zone edition of About L...

Hey, it's just like football! • NBA: Vince Carter...
NBC Resorts to Child Porn for Olympics Ratings Boost
Or, at least, it would seem that way. Why else would the Olympic website feature some, um, questionable photos of figure skater Sasha Cohen? Hey, I'm no prude, but for the love of Jon Benet Ramsey this just seems a little...creepy. Maybe this is strategic network synergy? You know, NBC gets people...
