Something Else For Tiger To Dominate

Phil Mickelson thinks golf should be an Olympic sport.

Yeah, right, Lefty -- as if golf belonged in the same breath as team handball, ping-pong and that ribbon waving event. If you want to win a gold medal, Phil, take up 25m rapid fire pistoling.

Au Revoir King James?

With the recent rash of NBA players bolting to sign with teams overseas, a source close to LeBron James says King James would consider playing in Europe if the price was right.

The price? $50 million per year and one night, "Indecent Proposal"-style, with French first lady Carla Bruni.

Hold Your Breath

The chief medical officer for the IOC said that the air pollution in Beijing won't pose a major risk to Olympic athletes throughout the 16 days of the games.

Those the pollution will pose a major risk for? Everybody who isn't an athlete and all athletes who stay for 17 or more days.

L-O-V-E / H-A-T-E

Yao Ming apologized for his comments regarding Ron Artest being traded to the Rockets. Yao said, "Hopefully, he's not fighting anymore and going after a guy in the stands." 

Apparently Yao had his change of heart after watching "Do The Right Thing." 

Woody Agrees With Communist China

Chinese officials continue to assert that all of their female gymnasts are at the minimum age of 16 and are eligible to compete in the Olympics.

Perhaps something was lost in the translation, but the official Chinese statement was, "If there is grass on the field, play ball."

Better Than That Spiezio Soul Patch

The White Sox and the Royals had a bench-clearing brawl yesterday, after White Sox pitcher DJ Carassaco plunked Royals catcher Miguel Olivo with a pitch in the 5th inning. Olivo wound up throwing his punches at White Sox catcher AJ Pierzynski.



This whole brouhaha just seemed like a long con to draw Pierzynski out into the open so somebody could slug him.

It was also a nice way to introduce the world to Pierzynski's new dye job. If he's hoping to look like mid-90's Annie Lennox, then he's a success.

Unfortunately, he probably has a brother-in-law named Rocco who found some blond wigs "that fell off the truck." Look for the "Pier-Wigski Blond Wig" (trademark pending) to be draped on sweaty heads in US Cellular throughout September.

At Least It's Not Parcells

There is a rumor of a Bill Belichick sex tape.

The claim comes from a former writer for Patriots Football Weekly. He says the tape is held by a man who alleges Belichick was having an affair with his wife.

However, upon closer inspection, it turns out the wife was just banging a homeless man.
