Tiger Will Even Beat You At Passing Gas
As Tiger Woods begins his march for yet another Masters victory, we look deep into the soul of a champion, try to figure out what makes him who he is, why he is dominant, who he is inside. For some insight, we check out this quote from golf announcer David Feherty, who describes an ongoing contest h...
F-Rod Is A Big Fan Of The Bottom Of His Cap
In his new book The Cheater's Guide To Baseball, Derek Zumsteg looks at all the different ways baseball players and managers have cheated (or tried to cheat) throughout the years. It's a highly entertaining book; our favorite part is "Tips For Doctoring Bats For Amateur Players."...
Help This Fat Man Have A Heart Attack!
We don't usually pay much attention to these, well, blatant Internets grabs at attention, but we kind of liked this one: A 435-pound-man is auctioning off his running in the Boston Marathon. All proceeds go to the American Cancer Society. We think he's probably got a while to go....
Hey, The Masters Start Tomorrow
Even though it's dreary outside and we're kind of ill from it — we don't ask much from weather except for it to make up its mind — it is obviously springtime, because The Masters start tomorrow....

Teddy Roosevelt's Gonna Do What He Has To Do To Win
So poor Teddy Roosevelt, in the grand president mascot races at RFK, can't catch a break: He didn't win at all last year, and he's resorting to desperate measures ... like, say, rappelling from the roof of the stadium on Opening Day yesterday. Poor guy: He still didn't win. The Bull Moose party, the...

Joel Zumaya Is Just Like The Undertaker
Sometimes we forget that the men we watch and obsess over on the baseball diamond are mostly children themselves, not just in age, but in a state of perpetual arrested development. They are gleeful imps, lucky to be allowed to frolic for a living....

David Justice Almost Killed Halle Berry
It's hard to imagine that the woman in that picture almost ended her life over a career .279 hitter. She says that's what happened, though. Halle Berry told Parade Magazine (the one that comes with your Sunday paper) that she tried to kill herself after her break-up with David Justice....

AJ Daulerio's Cultural Oddsmaker runs every Friday. Email him to let him know what you think....
Your NL Central "Preview"

Your NL East "Preview"
We should probably warn you: The Phillies are one of those teams we pick to win the National League East a lot. If you haven't noticed, they haven't won the NL East in a long, long time. But we're gonna try again anyway....
Your AL West "Preview"
All right, last one of the day until tomorrow ... we think this is actually the easiest division to pick, which is why, obviously, we're going to have it entirely wrong....
Your AL Central "Preview"
Everyone says it's the toughest division in baseball, but we think it's just the mostly hotly contested: You could pretty much interchange any of those top four teams and not sounds like a fool. But those Royals ......
Your AL East "Preview"
All right, whether you're ready for it or not, baseball is starting Sunday night. (The Mets will watch the Cardinals raise their World Series title flag. The Cardinals won the World Series last year.) The full slate of games kick off Monday, so we figured it was time to start previewing some divisio...

Clog, The Illini Way
Our father's birthday is in August, and we were trying to figure out what we should give to him. It's difficult to shop for Dads; we're not sure there's any Cardinals merchandise left....
The Real, True Story Of Pac Man
We're mostly wary of little sketch comedy gimmicks online, but we have to say, we did enjoy this video reimagining of the circumstances of Pac Man Jones' life and times. They go for the obvious joke, from the beginning ... but that doesn't change the fact that the image of a big puffy yellow Pac Man...
