@Eamus Catuli: How true. If Plaxico Burress had had the good sense to carry his unregistered firearm in a stylish murse instead of the elastic waistband of his sweatpants, he likely wouldn't be facing a grand jury next month.

I'm sure Dontrelle would find the strikezone again if he would just learn to breathe through his eyelids.

Ironically, Boggs didn't seem to mind the taste ot steroids and growth hormones injected in his pregame chicken: [www.walkoffwalk.com]

Just when you think it can't get any worse for the New York Islanders, they add another level to their towering national humiliation. At this rate, I'm expecting to learn that there's a Rick DiPietro gay sex tape, or that Charles Wang helped rig the Iranian election.

Maurice Clarett is ready for a 2nd act: [mauriceclarett.wordpress.com]

I bet he can't wait to regale his child with the story of the night he was fucking owned by the New York Giants: [bit.ly]

What's amazing is that half-witted assclown Russ Salzberg still has a job. Two jobs, actually.

I'm not sure why, exactly, but this actually makes me sad. Some of us lowly blogger types have no choice but to dive into the muck of the twitterverse, but a guy like Jenkins—to me at least—has earned the right to be spared such nonsense. Nothing about the man's writing is ephemeral.

When you book Artie Lange, you get Artie Lange. What did Buck expect, Red Buttons?

When learning that the Chicago Bears were one of the three teams rumored to be interested in signing Plax, Packers CB Al Harris promptly shit himself.

As is the case after every heartbreaking Mets loss, Faith and Fear in Flushing is a must read today: [www.faithandfearinflushing.com]

George Blanda played until he was 48. If Favre has designs on that record, I'm probably going to have to off myself.

You'll miss it when it's gone.

First gnats. Now gulls. Who knew Eric Wedge was Evan Almighty?

I'm pretty sure there's a special place in hell for that 6% who consider themselves fans of both teams.

@Juancho: Kevin Stevens also has something else Roenick doesn't have: his name on Lord Stanley's Cup.

Hockey players play through some batshit insane injuries.

Nielsen Bookscan reports sales of 16,482 copies to date and 1,347 for the week ending 6/7.
