didn't some neck-car driver refuse to drink milk after winning a race and get fined because the plain water he drank was "competition" for the paid sponsor (milk)?

can the US still win the WBC without Adam Dunn's bat in the lineup?

@PermanentInjuredReserve: true story: an elderly neighbor of mine just paid $30 for a USB cable at Best Buy, a cable the dollar store next door had for $0.99

@BaskIceBall: yes, i'm a douche- i can't believe i missed that.

anyone else think Giambi was already hitting that when that photo was taken?

In a twist, Ms. Lidle is suing Cirrus on the grounds the plane took off and flew as advertised, noting her husband would still be alive had it not done so.

Look, you are missing the point. If you drop $5000 on a 65" LCD TV-based home entertainment system, as opposed to $500,000 on a luxury box, it won't be tax deductible and even worse it will be your wife not blowing you instead of your summer intern blowiing you.

@ClintonPortishead: divine

I doubt it would be legal, but if this show actually degenerates into honest-to-God spontaneous bare-knuckle fisticuffs it could blow up in the ratings.

@Chuck Knoblockhead: +1

by the way, michael strahan, his beaten wife and his spied-upon girlfriend say "don't count Montclair out (of the news) yet!"

the KSK rant is truly one for the ages.

I honestly thought the "price" was going to be that Billy "ACC Fudge-" Packer had to be involed with so much content going out.

@Mr. Sparkle: the only thing worse would be to have no crotch and find out that factoid was on Deadspin.

@tater: actually, i had to check to make sure it wasn't overtime.

this seems like a good thread to get a comment in sideways about "ESPN Deportes" having a Spanish-language version of "PTI" that has to be seen to be believed: all 23 chapters or whatever the hell they are called on obscure goings on in the world of second-tier soccer.

@Caulk~n~Ballz: more than he would have in Dallas with only 6.0 million reasons to be alive.

Rick Reilly is now writing sloppy seconds for BS- I can't make this up. He's even using "Benjamin" like he knew what it meant.

30-all is also Deuce, in terms of clever observations.

@Skating Tomato: +100%
