Pat Robertson Could Destroy You With His Legs
A couple of days ago, we noted that CBS Sportsline's SPIN columnist Clay Travis had dug up a claim that Pat Robertson had leg-pressed 2,000 pounds. (Unlike what we wrote then, the Florida state leg-press record is 1,335, not 665; we had that wrong. Sorry.) This was, of course, ridiculous, right? T...

The David Wells Mad Lib
Obviously, David Wells — as evidenced by his appearance on the waiver wire in just about every fantasy league we're in — is much more useful as a quote machine these days than as an actual baseball player.
