Chandler In Tahoe: Tokyo Drift
I wasn't able to take a photo of it so I have no tangible proof, but I swear that this was one of the threesomes during Thursday's final day of practice at the American Century Celebrity Golf Tournament: Cheech Marin, Charles Barkley and Kevin Nealon.

The Royals Rule The All Star Game
This is Gil Meche, the Kansas City Royals' "All-Star" for last night's game. Like Albert Pujols, he didn't get in the game. For Royals fans, this is the furthest thing from unusual. Their All-Star history is so checkered that the last Royals to get a hit in an All-Star game was ... Bo Jackson....

Greg Oden Can Only Improve On His Foul Trouble From Here
I knew there was an underlying reason notable tall dude Greg Oden went to the NBA after one year in college. It couldn't have been just the money, or the chance to be picked No. 1 overall.
