Michael Beasley's nose is growing

After saying before the draft that he no longer had any character issues, it seems that he still does. Beasley has been fined $50,000 by the NBA  for the incident including Darrell Arthur and Mario Chalmers. Arthur and Chalmers were fined 20K a piece. To say that you have no character issues and partake in a party with weed and girls (who shouldn't have been there) is ludicrous. 

Beasley shows us where he hides his secret stash.

Carson Palmer is killing my fantasy team

Last few years Palmer has been a stud and I benefitted from that. Now, he is single handedly destroying my team. He gotten a total of 4 points in 2 weeks. Did I mention he was playing the Titans? Ridiculous. This can't be just me. I may just have to pick up Matt Cassel.

Those guys are good. Or maybe I just suck.

Near record day for MLB rainouts

Yesterday there were 6 rainouts or drizzle outs (Tigers-White Sox) in the MLB. I found this to be amazing amount. Obviously Hurricane Ike played a role in that number. Does anyone know the record on this. The 6 postponements are second to April 12, 1997 when there were 8 games that were postponed.

Gotsta Love It: This Olympic swimming trial

I heard of this during the 2008 Olympics and I thought I would never find the video. Well I did.

When there are only 3 men in a race and 2 of them get disqualified, well you are left with 1 guy racing himself. That by itself is a sight to be seen. But when he comes from a country without an adequate pool, then it is one man racing against himself and hardly finishing.

Do they have lifeguards at the Olympics? That may seem like a stupid question but you never see them. They must assume that the participants can swim.

Carlos Marmol and Obama separated birth?

I just realized that normally lights-out Cubs set-up man, Carlos Marmol, looks a whole lot like Barack Obama.I think that this is our best look a like yet. What do you think?

Matt Cassel the next Tom Brady?

Doubtful. But if you remember when Drew Bledsoe went out for the Pats 6th round pick Tom Brady took his place and stole the show. Cassel hasn't started a game for over eight years so lightning striking twice is not likely. Personally, they should get another QB. That's just me. Here are the notable options:

Daunte Culpepper
Tim Hasselbeck
Jared Lorenzen
Tim Rattay
Chris Weinke

And the winner is.............................................

Ocho Cinco still C. Johnson today

Chad Ocho Cinco stepped out on the field today for the first time since his name change. But his plan to get "Ocho Cinco" on the back of his jersey will have to wait a bit. The NFL, not surprisingly, has sided with their financial comrades. The spokesman for the NFL said, "He has a financial obligation to Reebok, which produces the jerseys available to fans. That has to be resolved before the on-field jersey can be changed." This seems to me that Roger Goodell is trying to postpone this genius move by Chad for as long as possible. Going to this measure to get around the rules deserves to be acknowledged.
