Tuesday, August 12th, 2008 - Keep it classy, Spain

Spain's men's hoops team put the "ass" in class with their slant eyed take in China (at right). Between that and how they handled Jorge Garbajosa's injury and subsequent insurance settlement, here's hoping karma deals them a swift blow and at minimum, a severe beating from the U.S. Britney Spears getting out of a car sans underwear had to even consider that a bad idea at the time, and the photogs only had one shot to get her picture. Here? I'm guessing this was not just a solitary shot, not the way they're lined up and posed...one of my fav words of all time, and the ten best usages of it on TV. These are hilarious...driving through Kitchener yesterday, I happened upon a recently renamed road: Lennox Lewis Blvd. Solid...there's a housecleaning going on at David Beckham's LA Galaxy as GM Alexei Lalas was bounced, and coach Ruud Gullit quit. The latter is the real shame as Gullit is a name in the soccer world, and a guy who always looks to go forward and attack...the Arizona D-Backs addressed a serious need in picking up Adam Dunn from the Reds for a trio of prospects. Wonder how many "Dunn Deal" headlines there are out there today?...Here's a quote: "I don't feel like a baseball player when I DH. I don't know how to be the leader that I am from the bench. I can't be a vocal leader. I can't talk to guys from the bench because I don't feel right about it." There are a few guys in DH roles I could see talking leadership and the like, but Gary Sheffield is not one of them...the Cleveland Browns Braylon Edwards is not a smart guy. The wideout went for a run sans shoes and of course, somebody stepped on his foot and he's now out for a week. Get on some shoes Braylon, I'm sure you've got some kind of endorsement deal...now that Brett Favre is firmly in a Jets uniform, Tampa Bay Bucs QB Jeff Garcia is none too happy that his squad was in the running...speaking of Favre, he's not going to win another Super Bowl but he is very much in the race for most overdone story of the past decade, right up there with 9/11 and Y2K...thankfully, Aaron Rodgers had a solid game last night for Green Bay, or the airwaves could be more polluted...it isn't official yet, but all signs are suggesting Joe Sakic will be back for another season in Colorado. Who wouldn't want a chance to play with Darcy Tucker?...have a great Tuesday.
