Stud: Louisville Football
In a state and at a school where football is always second to mint juleps, Louisville's football team is making news. With last night's victory over Incest University, the Cardinals took a huge step forward in staking their claim to be the team to lose to OSU/Mich. Congrats on the future loss, guys.

Dud: Byron Leftwich
And he hasn't even done anything bad/wrong - except for not being able to be an effective quarterback. Jack Del Rio's seen what we've all been thinking - that Garrard provides the Jaguars with an opportunity to do a lot more on the offensive end. Leftwich is the slowest QB this side of Drew Bledsoe, which is sad to say - considering the significant difference in age between the two. Yes, Leftwich has heart but that can only get you so far. Ask this guy.

Talk Around the Cooler:
Who woulda thunk that a living, breathing bobblehead doll could possibly win a Gold Glove?

So, I'm kind of thinking this "no tolerance" rule in the NBA might have an impact - a very large impact in a very important game down the road - and the league/ref who makes the call will be lambasted for it while it was definitely the right decision by the Messiah. Bitching has become as much a part of watching an NBA game as dry, nappy hair has become a signature look of Rasheed Wallace. BRUSH YOUR FUCKING HAIR!

When you coach 4 high profile Olympians who've tested positive for steroids under your watch, there might be something fishy going on. To quote the venerable Terrell Owens:"If it walks like a duck and talks like it duck, it's Jeff Garcia."

Quick Hits:
If there's a Hall of Fame for this shit, there should an accompanying Hall of Fame for "Things That Shouldn't Exist." Bernie Kosar and "celebrity" need not be used in the same sentence. Spend time with your fucking FAMILY - honestly, home must be a living hell for this guy.
