China Has Addressed Our Pooping Needs
Breaking news in the Beijing Olympics controversy: They're fixing the toilets. I've prayed for this day (dabs at eye with hankie). It makes sense.

Miami Hurricanes SID Seems To Be A Bit Of A Monster
Today's entirely creepy and queasy story comes to us from ... well, from The U, which probably isn't entirely surprising. But this isn't a fun tale of coked up strippers or the Seventh Floor Crew. This one involves child porn and the school's child porn....
Media Approval Ratings: Jim Rome
To be honest, we don't listen to much sports talk radio. It's not out any particular inclination against it — at least, not entirely — and more because we live in New York. We don't have a car, which means we don't listen much to any kind of radio....

The Glory Of The Knicks Vs. The Heat
A friend of ours attended the Knicks-Heat game last night — the Knicks won 103-99 in overtime — and emailed us, alarmed; it appeared he had been transported to something quite different than an NBA game....

David West Is An Assassin
The NBA Closer is written by Matt McHale, who gets some serious NBA overload on Wednesday nights.
