Youky Lands A Hot One, But There's A Hitch
Where women are concerned, I've always lived my life by a simple rule: Lips which have touched Ben Affleck shall never touch mine. Kevin Youkilis has no such qualms, apparently.

Bill "Spaceman" Lee Defends Manny, Canadians and Irish Assassins
Bill Lee isn't famous because he was a good pitcher for a few years in the 1970s. He's famous (and beloved) because he has absolutely no filtering mechanism between his brain and his mouth.
