Seriously, Would It Kill You To Sexually Arouse Dick Bavetta?

Bad News For You, Hot Dogs
And bad news for you, too, fans of American sports heroes. Your precious Joey Chestnut's going to have a fight on his hands come July 4th. Kobayashi's going to be in Coney Island, his jaw is going to be healthy and lubricated, and he's going to destroy every nitrate- and sodium-filled pork byproduct...

Barry Hits #750, Loses Game, Wins A Friend
• Miguel Montero > Barry Bonds. Barry hit #750 last night, a 3-2 breaking ball over the rightfield wall that delighted people all over ... well, Pac Bell Park. He's now just 5 short of Hank Aaron, but he does trail Diamondback Miguel Montero in the statistical category of "people who won baseball ga...

This Should Just About End The 'Making It Rain' Fad
Clay Travis of Sportsline's SPiN on Sports is really embracing the "Making it Rain" phenomenon ... so much so that he's spread the act to his dad and to the hoes at Home Depot. I think this is exactly what Fat Joe had in mind when he recorded the song....

Cop Attacked, Bitten By Dolphin
I had never heard of Dolphins defensive tackle Fred Evans, but when a man tastes the Taser gun twice, and still manages to bite a cop ... well, that grabs your attention. From The Ledger, in Lakeland, Florida:...

Calvin Johnson Must Be Really, Really Good
...because he has Jon Kitna believing that the Detroit Lions are going to dominate the NFL this year. The same Lions that went 3-13 last year, because of a rookie wide receiver, are going to win 10+ games this year. Mmhmm....

Dustin McGowan Is Making Canada Happy
I don't know if it's possible to jinx these things with blog posts, but I'm going to go ahead and risk it: Blue Jays pitcher Dustin McGowan has a no-hitter going through 8 innings. Just one walk allowed, too....

John Smoltz And Chipper Jones Have Beef
Continuing with the Atlanta-Braves-With-Anger-Issues theme, Chipper Jones and John Smoltz appear to be having a little bit of a tiff. Smoltz thinks Jones is milking an injury, and Jones thinks Smoltz is a big meaniehead, and neither one of them will speak directly to the other....

Paul Lo Duca's Inspiring Idiocy
• I'm Sorry, Italians. Paul Lo Duca calls it a "good Italian temper," but I'm going to choose to think a little more highly of the Italian-American population, and call Lo Duca's display childish, dumb, and embarrassing. The idiot Mets catcher was thrown out of the game for arguing balls and strikes...

This Seems Like It Should Be Illegal
I don't know what that little creature is capable of, but it seems to be effective in teaching Australian girls how to swim faster. A much more dangerous alternative would be to release this guy into the water....
