Some Sweet, Sweet Charlie Weis Love, And Other Unconventional Sports Crushes
Once upon a time, a site called The Black Table had a regular feature entitled Waxing Off, in which women gathered in an online roundtable to discuss issues of the day, and also to make fun of Will Leitch's shoes.

Greg Oden's Body Hates Him
Well, it's a good thing Greg Oden has that creaky knee back in proper working order.

Thanks to Phil Golding for this picture, who got it from a friend who enjoyed a recent flight with Trail Blazers rookie Greg Oden.

So, Yankee Stadium Takes This No Moving During "God Bless America"-Thing Rather Seriously
Remember a little more than a year ago when George Steinbrenner, inflated with patriotic fervor, imposed a laughable rule that instructed security officials to ban anyone from "excessive movement" during the 7th inning rendition of "God Bless America."

Oden, Durant Are Fine Judges Of Talent
Here's a photo from the 2007 ESPYs which I haven't seen before, so I suppose it should be officially submitted to our files.
