Help This Fat Man Have A Heart Attack!
We don't usually pay much attention to these, well, blatant Internets grabs at attention, but we kind of liked this one: A 435-pound-man is auctioning off his running in the Boston Marathon. All proceeds go to the American Cancer Society. We think he's probably got a while to go....

Gauging Your Women's Sports Interest
If you're not adequately impressed by the countdown clock ESPN's giving us for the Rutgers-Tennessee women's national championship game tonight — here's something weird; in women's hoops, they have the professional draft the day after the national title game — then here's a sporting event that's pro...

Curt Schilling Faces The Blog Music
Yesterday wasn't the most pleasant day to be a Red Sox fan — a friend of ours who loves the Sox was lamenting last night that "the season is over;" Red Sox fans are the best — and no one took it harder than Curt Schilling himself....

Reggie Bush To See Fewer Boobs In 2007
If you've already heard about it you're probably still reeling; as for us, it's going to take some time to get over the news that Reggie Bush has been banned from the Playboy Mansion. Why, you ask? The source says only that the ban was "non-Playmate related."...

He Has Risen, And Is Demanding Oats
You know, we mocked the Barbaro message boarders when they claimed that Big Boss Horse was appearing to them from the afterlife. Yeah, we had a good laugh over that. But then a reader got to looking closely at our Jesus bowling post from last week, and made a startling discovery. Just look at the im...

About Last Night...
• College Basketball. Ohio State 67, Georgetown 60. That was not especially awesome. • College Basketball. Florida 76, UCLA 66. Nor was that. Sigh. • NHL: Atlanta 3, Boston 2. That might have been awesome, but I really wouldn't know....

About Last Night...
• NBA. Rockets 107, Lakers 104. The Lakers lost, but Kobe just averaged 40 points for the month of March. He should at least get a little plaque or something. • NHL. Devils 3, Flyers 1. It ties New Jersey for the lead in the Atlantic Division. How about that? • NBA. Heat 92, Timberwolves 77. 22 and ...

Spare Me, Oh Lord
To be absolutely truthful, this video really confuses us. Why is everyone laughing? Why would anyone think that Jesus would throw anything but a strike? Religion generally confuses us, but one thing we're pretty sure of: The Son of God has his own equipment ... Jesus does not rent bowling shoes. We'...
