Why Won't Anyone Believe Michael Vick?
It's one thing when police, cynical bloggers and suspicious journalists don't believe you when you say you had nothing to do with the dogfighting ring that's housed in your name. It's another entirely when your own (anonymous) friends don't believe you....

Wait ... Why Is There A Guy Next To The Mound ... And ... Oh, Jeez, We Give Up
Here's today's pointless, needlessly confusing pseudo sport: The National Xtreme Baseball League, which has two batters, a ton of extra fielders and the potential for 29 people on the field at once. It makes no sense at all, and we feel for the players "interviewed" in the promotional video, most of...
