The Alternative To The 11-Foot Rim
Seems like everyone wants to play on an unsually-elevated rim today. This is nice, but ... I prefer the 11-foot alternative to this one. I wouldn't want to live in a world where these guys are NBA Superstars....
Tiger's Nipples Look Fantastic
Playing alongside Tiger in the day's final pairing, Aaron Baddeley set the tone for the day with a triple bogey. He hasn't been able to stop the bleeding since ... He started at +2, and is now at +8....
Brett Hull, We Hardly Knew Ye
• NBC has apparently let Brett Hull go ... yeah, he was the reason for the low ratings. Of course, it also seems entirely possible that they just couldn't afford to pay him.

Dunk Now, While You Can, White Man
Tom Newell, son of legendary basketball big man coach Pete Newell, has a vision, and his vision would piss off the people who put together the SportsCenter highlight packages. He sees an NBA and an NCAA with 11-foot rims....

I Smell Tiger Tears
Today just feels like a day where Tiger Woods ends up crying. It's the US Open, it's Fathers Day, he's in the final pairing at Oakmont, and he's due to become a father soon. It feels so storybook. Thank goodness Jim Nantz isn't involved ... I don't know if I could take the sappiness....
At Least Seven Dead in Tennessee Drag Racing Accident
A 15-year-old, a 17-year-old, and others in their early 20s were killed last night during something called an "exhibition burnout" in Selmer, Tennessee. One of the cars spun out of control and into the crowd, killing seven and injuring at least 15 more. From the AP:...
John Stockton Thinks This Is Excessive
Brandon Lloyd (I think that's who it is) appears to be impressed with the look. I can't tell if that look on his face says, "Man, you are crazy," or "I sho' wouldn't mind hittin' that from the back."...
For The Papas That Aren't Rolling Stones...
If I could, I'd like to take a second and wish my old man a Happy Father's Day. Although, a couple of weeks ago, I wished him a happy birthday in The Debriefing, and the son of a bitch couldn't be bothered to read it. So you know what? I take it back. FUCK YOU, DAD....
About Last Night...
• MLB. White Sox 6, Pirates 1. Mark Buehrle pitched well, and for a change, other White Sox did various other things well, too. • Arena Football. Dallas Desperados 67, NY Dragons 13.

A Cub Not Named Michael Barrett Fights Someone
As noted in an earlier threadjack, Cubs' slugger Derrek Lee got into it with 6'10" Padres pitcher Chris Young. Lee, as angry baseball players are apt to do, swung wildly, and Young did not back down. Had this one not been broken up, I'd like Young's chances....
They Laugh At Us Because They Fear Us
American soccer is widely mocked around the world, and I had always assumed it was because we weren't very good at it. Not the case, according to this Steven Wells blog entry at Guardian Unlimited. He says the Brits mock us because they fear that we'll eventually beat their limey asses....
Finally, We Know Why Phil Mickelson Didn't Choose Football Or Rugby As His Profession
