Phelps first man under 50 seconds in 100 Butterfly in “Inferior Suit”

As reported by Ryan Doyle in this week’s Chuck Norris Links of the Week, Serbian swimmer Milorad Cavic called out Michael Phelps prior to the finals of the 100 Butterfly at this year’s Swimming World Championships in Rome.  Phelps has been seemingly human at the meet, losing his first race in major competition in 4 years.  A 6 month break from training and the invent of the Arena X-Glide and Jacked polyurethane full body swimming suits has allowed the field close the gap with swimming’s greatest champion.

Much ado about a nothing dunk

Much of my time these past few weeks has consisted of listening to ESPN radio commentators discussing Xavier’s Jordon Crawford dunking on Lebron. Nike apparently confiscated and censored said video.

Paterno’s excuse for consistent bowl loses is simply put, the additional two week lay off from the end of the Big XI season to bowl season leaves the B11 rusty and therefore unable to compete with the likes of any other BCS conference.

Brett Farve v. Sean Glennon I

Brett Farve makes Sean Glennon (and his girl) want to vomit

As if Tarvaris Jackson wasn’t bad enough.

Undrafted free agent rookie quarterback Sean Glennon recently entered the Viking’s spring rookie camp looking for a charitable roster spot donation by his former Virginia Tech college quarterbacks coach, current Viking assistant Kevin Rodgers. Rodgers was last seen around perennial backup Glennon in 2005 when he abruptly left Blacksburg, VA immediately after his star quarterback stomped Elvis Dummervil’s leg into submission and ended his college statutory rape, drug arrest, dogfighting, playing career. Upon realizing Sean Glennon would be his starter the following season, Rodgers bolted for anything paying.
