Solicit Like A Champion
We know that Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis is infinitely more popular than Tyrone Willingham ever was (even though they have pretty much the same record at the university).

Gilbert Arenas Gets More Entertaining Every Day
Gilbert Arenas created a bit of a stir around the blogosphere when he "borrowed" material from a professional comedian last week.

Is This The Night Bonds Finally Ends This?
Call us crazy, but we have a feeling Barry Bonds is going to tie and/or break this record tonight. We kind of want him to; we really can't take anymore.
