Title IX warrior. This student athlete is getting hammered for grabbing an opponent by the hair and throwing her down, but look at how it was instigated by the other team. Sure, she should have probably been tossed from the game - and she should know that it is always the retaliator that gets caught - take a number and get back at her later… but why is she being suspended? why do we still treat female athletes so differently - where we expect them to be so lady like. it is infuriating. just like with serena this summer and swearing. big deal. get over it people. women compete. and sometimes when someone elbows you in the tits and then someone else grabs your shorts and pulls at your uniform, you snap and tack a head on someone. move on…

plus the second chick took a total dive… they were clearly fishing for a red card and knew they had this one riled up…

Far be it from me to defend suspending a player for “dirty” play in soccer futbol. I was suspended for 3 games(2 reg season & 1 district playoff) in H.S. for “aggressive” play. However, the 40 second clip is taken out of context. It’s impossible to say the type of back & forth chippiness that was going on before each of these fouls and how the aggressiveness transpired during the flow of the match. Now there’s a longer clip that allows us to get a bit better handle as to the total number of infractions, some likely not seen by the refs at the time they occurred. I imagine watching the entire game was what led to the decision, one made by her own university, rather than just a replay of these two instances, neither of which warrant a suspension on their own.

Now if she only played football in the SEC,  she probably would have gotten defensive player of the week honors. Especially if she played for Urban “see no evil-do no evil” Meyer.

Wow! Wow? Wowwowowowow. This is an undoctored photo of Sammy Sosa taken in Vegas this week. This is what he used to look like.

As Sammy would say, “Tha’s alotta work man”

I have heard about the marshmallow test a few times before, but this is the first time I have seen it played out in video.

You put a marshmallow in front of a child and tell them that they can either eat it now, or they can have 2 marshmallows if they can save it until you are back in the room.

Just amazing to watch the decision making happening.

I could no joke watch a live feed of this all day long, like in a little window at the top of my computer screen. (Related is this from the New Yorker.)

I just remembered the number to Sportsphone.

It’s what I did before the internet. You know, in the dark ages of the 70s and 80s When I needed sports scores I called that number and got up to the minute (sort of) scores. I think I remember Gary Thorne being one of the voices of Sportsphone.

For all your sports news instantly, dial 976-131.

Wow, that was such a random memory.

If I set up a paypal account and promised to send a handmade dick towel to anyone who emailed me(1) & ordered one @ $4.99 each, would I make enough $$ to support my weekly caffeine addiction(2)?

(1)Much to my dismay, plain old dicktowel@gmail.com was already taken. Lucky bastard.

(2)My caffeine addiction is the most affordable of all my vices. Also the most legal. Coincidence? I think not.
