Top Ten Plays Include Practice
OK, so this isn’t really new — SportsCenter has included non-game plays in Top Plays for a patch now — but I’ve always found it engrossing when SportsCenter definite to place a non-competitive play in it’s Top Plays (not to mention shots of fans, championship parades and other things that can’t even be classified as […]
OK, so this isn’t really new — SportsCenter has included non-game plays in Top Plays for a patch now — but I’ve always found it engrossing when SportsCenter definite to place a non-competitive play in it’s Top Plays (not to mention shots of fans, championship parades and other things that can’t even be classified as “plays”). Regardless, this bank shot by Morris Peterson during Hornets practice yesterday morning is nothing short of incredible.
Full story can be found here and here (and I hear that illustrator is one handsome devil).

Ex-Soviet Union Heavyweights Cancel Title Bout…
…and in other news a tree falls in the forest. You thought we’d have to move until after the Ruslan Chagaev-Nikolai Valuev fight to attain that joke! But no, ESPN reports that Uzbeki WBA heavyweight title holder Chagaev has pulled out his May 31 title bout rematch with the former WBA belt holder Primo Carnera, […]
…and in other news a tree falls in the forest. You thought we’d have to move until after the Ruslan Chagaev-Nikolai Valuev fight to attain that joke! But no, ESPN reports that Uzbeki WBA heavyweight title holder Chagaev has pulled out his May 31 title bout rematch with the former WBA belt holder Primo Carnera, er, Toro Moreno, er Nikolai Valuev citing a severely sore throat. No, really.
We also sorry about the Valuev cracks. They’re unfair. The 7′1″ Russian Giant Valuev is much more accomplished than Carnera and much sturdier than most trees. He’s also alive and bound to find me. So if your seriously bummed by the fight cancellation news then play the below flash game which is from the www.beer.uz website which seems to be an Uzbeki portal that presumably discusses beer. The website is cursive Russian and Ukbek which both utilize the alphabet alphabet.
The candid unification to the below game is here: http://www.beer.uz/game/331. So play here (click the naif button), click over there, play there too, interpret there in Russian or Uzbek, avenge the fantastically nicknamed Owen “What the Heck” Beck and belt out Valuev.

Releasing Frank Thomas was a [blank] intent
If you don’t springy in or near Toronto (or center to six hours of ESPN Radio a day, same I do) then I won’t blame you for not lettered that the Toronto Blue Jays released 19-year veteran Frank Thomas after still another early season slump. People around baseball, as substantially as Toronto Blue diplomatist fans, […]
If you don’t springy in or near Toronto (or center to six hours of ESPN Radio a day, same I do) then I won’t blame you for not lettered that the Toronto Blue Jays released 19-year veteran Frank Thomas after still another early season slump. People around baseball, as substantially as Toronto Blue diplomatist fans, are split on whether or not releasing Thomas was a beatific idea… well… okay, maybe not Blue Jays fans, but some analysts are split on the idea. So, being the all around decorous guy I am, I’ll present both sides to the argument to you.
Good:
Frank Thomas is clean up! Sure he hit 26 home runs terminal season, but he only hit .277! “The Big Hurt”? Yeah, no kidding. 10-for-60 (.167) and 13 strikeouts sure as hell makes ME hurt, I’ll tell you. What were we thinking to bring in a guy same him? Old Negro has one decorous season in Oakland and we sign him to a multi-year deal? What’s that?! The Negro hadn’t hit over .270 before that one season in Chicago, and hasn’t hit over .300 since 2000.Besides, we intend rid of the departed coefficient in Thomas, and we can go after Barry Bonds!
Bad:
Frank Thomas is notorious for slow starts, but has always turned it around. He’d hit .200 in April, and finish out the season hitting .350. It’s meet how he is, and you countenance at the past two eld and you could see how he’s been turning it around. .270 average in ‘06, .277 in ‘07. His power numbers dropped a little, but it’s to be expected when you play 81 games in the SkyDome (Yes, SkyDome).Besides, who are you feat to pick up? Barry Bonds? A guy who has a history with injuries and a federal trial hanging over his head? Hell, he hasn’t even played a game this year, Spring Training or otherwise. You have to be out of your mind to think that it’d be a beatific intent to bring in a guy same that!
So who’s right? Well, if you ask me — everybody is. If the Blue Jays are selection to take on the coefficient and responsibility of Barry Bonds, with his jural issues and steroid allegations and constantly ontogeny skull, then so be it.
