It's a Gotsta Know Situation...

It's an abridged need to know situation today as I'm preparing to apart for parts unknown (Chicago) where I should be able to continue working like normal for the most part. Let's get a move on.

1. In the Washington Post today Donovan McNabb seemed to want to defend Michael Vick without really defending him. Any smart athlete would just start having no comment on this issue. Anyone standing up for him is going to be made to look foolish.

2. It always seems that some people's jobs in sports are just too easy. There is a good list of the top 10 easiest jobs in sports that avoid the obvious ones (punter/kicker) and will make you cry yourself to sleep after your shift at Jiffy Lube.

3. With their runaway payroll and endless money supply it's weird to think of the Yankees being any sort of financial bind, but their YES network and the team itself possibly are on sale. Sports just won't be as fun without George around when he sells/dies/retires/returns to reign over hell again.

George just ran over a small child before this picture was taken.

4. In the spirit of the the obscure hot ladies of sports, this website bring to you today the official hot female bowler list. Coming next here at the Sports Tome. Hottest Curlers. The Ice Queens.

I'd show her how it feels to throw it down the lane...

5. BallHype has done an official blog study to determine the make-up of the sports blogging community (side note: I always prefers to refer to the Sports Tome as a site, not a blog. Just sounds better). Turns out not surprisingly that its a bunch of college educated white guys. Big props to whomever was that one guy they surveyed who lives in Kentucky like me (Why wasn't I surveyed? Probably b/c 80% of my traffic is Jenna Jameson related). The man doesn't want a Kentucky Kid to blog. Keep up the struggle for equality.

I'm in talks with Jenna Jameson to wear a Sports Tome jersey and take a picture like this.

That's it. Were done. This article is 100% over. I Win! Was it good for you?

Group Think

There are always numerous great things floating up on the Internet. This week the top 10 stories/games/events/things are as follows:

#10 Can You Hit a Baseball? This game tests your ability to react quickly enough. My average time is about .16s.

#9 Soccer Moms are not to be messed with. I'm glad that when I played little league the parents just stuck to non-violent complaining.

#8 A Steeler Funeral. Replace all the yellow and black with blue and white and it's my funeral.

#7 A completely insane time for a mile race. I run it in like 6:30 and I feel like a beast. He doesn't even seem that tired from running it in 3:45.

#6 The story of the most unlucky man on the planet. This just really really sucks.

#5 Some Old Colin Cowherd Hating. I just really dislike him and his show so I always enjoy going back to read these.

#4 In case TV doesn't give you enough. You just gotta love them adding ads, doing less work on the game, and charging you more for it.

#3 A good NBA Free Agent List. Give me Ime Udoka. Good player and a likely reasonable contract.

#2 This is what our congressmen are paid for. Is it just me or do you hate every single politician other than that anti-pork (not the meat) guy?

#1 Old but you probably have never seen it. I hate parents who think that their kids are good at sports when they are truly horrible.

I'm out.
