Most Dominant Sports Team Of All Time? Think Shuttlecock
Debate raged on ESPN Radio into the wee hours this morning over which athlete is more dominant; Tiger Woods or Roger Federer?

I Think It's Jim Sorgi In The Colt Costume

Bengal Watch
I hope you enjoyed the 48-hour period in which a "FREE CHRIS HENRY" t-shirt was appropriate. Save them, though, you never know when they'll be relevant again.

An amusing side note from the Nets' late-night last-second loss to the Clippers last night.

When...

As we mentioned on Monday, we were kind of surprised that the little arts & crafts project to the right here was allowed to be displayed during the Saints-Bears game on Sunday; not that we sat up that night fretting about it, but come on.
