I'm like two people removed from a porn star. My wife's cousin had three kids with some dude before she left them. My mom in-law is still close with the kids and their dad's family (his parents were even at our wedding in Vegas). Well the dad recently remarried and had a kid. Not sure what her real ...

If 'Nationwide' is still relevant, Ketchup Sawx, Greenwave, Blood of Tebow and Giff would be graduating to Unknown. Let me know if this is something that should happen.

It's true that we don't know FOR A FACT if Travis (his white name) would still be alive if he was white, but let's stop acting like it's completely fucking lunacy to have the opinion that black people are much more likely to be profiled as criminals than whites.

Astros top pitching prospect, Jarred Cosart, had himself a nice little debut last night. 8 innings, 2 hits, 0 runs while taking a no-hitter into the 7th against the red-hot Rays. Plus he hates Dallas, so that's cool.

Isn't Asik both too good and too expensive to use him primarily as a back-up center? He's probably a top-5 center in the league as it stands now. But he's under a very friendly contract, I believe. $8.3 million for a center of his caliber is a steal and a contract that any number of teams would lik...

Can I count a championship from a school I didn't go to if I was in attendance for the winning game? If so, I'm counting the '02 CWS champion Longhorns. Also the day Daryl Kile died. That was quite the buzzkill to hear when we got back to the car to make our journey back to Austin.

Re: NBA Finals
Not having Duncan in when you need a stop and a rebound to win the fucking championship is about an indefensible a decision as one can make. Almost as bad was leaving Manu in the entire time too. Momentum schomentum, the Spurs still should've won despite all that, so I think they take game 7 by 10.
