First things first:
-Jason Whitlock is back writing again which means you should be back reading him again. One of the best writers on the Internet.
-This video is great. Simply because at the end all the guys completely ignore the girl who banged her head.
-Time magazine breaks down Barry Bonds from the start of his career to now in pictures.
Lets get busy with the business of the day now. It's time to gather five things you never knew from the greatest deposit of human knowledge man has ever created, Wikipedia. All of the facts are pulled directly from a page on the site and edited only to make people, places, and events more clear. Let's get moving.
#1 Dan Patrick was a basketball player in high school, becoming an Ohio all-state selection his senior year. He attended Eastern Kentucky University on a basketball scholarship for two years before transferring to the University of Dayton, where he joined the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity.
#2 In 1996, while still quarterback at the University of Tennessee, Peyton Manning dropped his pants while being treated by assistant athletic trainer Jamie Ann Naughright. After an investigation, the university concluded the incident was a "mooning" gone awry and not sexual in nature, and Manning was disciplined and required to apologize in writing to Naughright.[8] The university chose to settle Naughright's sexual harassment claims (which included the Manning incident) for $300,000.[9] In 2003, Manning settled a 2002 lawsuit filed by Naughright for $300,000. In the suit Naughright alleged that "Manning: A Father, His Sons and a Football Legacy", a book written by Manning, his father and author John Underwood, defamed her.
#3 Edgerrin James and teammate Matt Leinart are co-owners of one of the largest indoor go-cart tracks in Arizona. James and Leinart are both huge race fans, and were spotted together in Daytona for the 2007 Daytona 500. There is talk of the two Cardinals' players buying their own team for the 2009/10 race season.
#4 Matt Leinart underwent surgery when he was three years old and was fitted with special glasses to correct the problem, but the eyewear combined with Leinart's already-overweight frame to make him an easy target for ridicule at the hands of other children.[1] “I used to get made fun of for being cross-eyed. It's just a terrible thing because kids are so cruel to the fat kid, to the kid with the glasses. So I turned to sports.,” he would later say.
#5 Daunte Culpepper struggled to get into college, because of low SAT scores. Marquee football schools, such as the University of Florida, backed off from recruiting him when it was assumed he would not qualify. The University of Central Florida, however, offered to tutor him and help him achieve the necessary scores, and he was able to qualify. Although the big college programs returned to recruit him, as a show of loyalty, Culpepper enrolled at UCF.
That's it. Were done. Go home. Get outta here. Stay off the lawn. Blah Blah Blah. I'm out.
