SI.com: The Web's Pauly Shore
From the things that were a bad idea from the start department: Some poor sucker at SI.com tries an imaginary conversation between Larry David and Nate Newton. Highlight: So? It bothers me.

Tiger Woods Remains World's Whitest Man
Tiger Woods didn't play in whatever bland, corporate-sponsored backslap-fest the PGA Tour hosted last weekend, but that's because he was in Las Vegas. Gambling away millions?

The Mustache Is The Most Thing Normal About Them
We don't know whether or not this is offically classified as a "sport" or not, but SportsFilter directs us to the preliminaries of the World Beard and Mustache Championship. The real finals are in October, but the training goes on year round. (Weird soldier outfit is optional.) Interestingly enoug...
Where's Barry?
All kinds of news happening with Barry Bonds. He deigned to bless the world with his presence at the Giants-A's series, reports have him off his IV and ready to begin rehab and even inspiring ESPN village idiot Skip Bayless to write another 1,000 words about nothing at all.
