Image that, the NFL players union is against testing for HGH (human growth hormone). Yeah, because guys that are 6'5" 310 lbs normally run 4.5 forties. Its funny that baseball gets all the crap for steroids when its clearly the football players are the ones who use it the most. Just wait another 10-15 years and watch all the players from the 1980s-1990s who are dropping dead from prolonged exposure to the stuff. Football is so violent that most players say that they are useless the day after a game and that a short week (playing Thursday after a Sunday, four days) is a detriment. Tell me these guys are not on steroids, the main benefit of which is quicker recovery from injuries and workouts. I'm not saying that baseball players didn't do steroids, the home run stats bare that out, and just wait until you see Barry Bonds again, he's going to be half the size he was and his head will be three sizes smaller. But the players that would benefit the most from the drugs ...

I've heard my share of stupid questions at work, among them is the famous 'Does this come in paperback?' on a book that is two days old. I really can't believe that I am still asked that question, by now I know I've told everyone in Raleigh -at least once- that 'No, it takes a year to come out in paper.' But today, I got possibly the most stupid question in a long time. Someone asked me what the new Sade album sounds like. Why ask that question? What are you expecting, pre-Warner Brothers Ministry? It's like asking what the new AC/DC album sounds like [AC/DC] or if the new James Patterson book is good [no]. There are certain artists that have perfected a sound, found a faithful base and decided not to fuck around with it. Sade is one of those artists. If you like the sound of one of their albums, you like them all. It also makes it all that easier to sell the album. I can just say 'It sounds like Sade' and make the sale. Unlike trying to sell the...

I am watching Curling at the Olympics and we are losing 3-1 to Germany. Still not exactly sure how the game is scored, but it appears to be scored like horseshoes, or jarts (goddamn safety conscience society, we want jarts back!), closest to spot wins the points. With all the money spent on the Olympics you think they could give the commentators a telestrator to point things out? Isn't this 30 year old technology? Shouldn't this be standard? How about a stone tracker to watch the path, they do it with hurricanes, why not stones that slide at 2 miles an hour? Curling doesn't seem to be the most fun game to practice, its slow and methodical, like watching a cuckoo clock. Unlike basketball, where you can shoot freethrows or jumpshots over and over, you just slide stones back and forth, or sweep. How do you practice sweeping? Is there a machine at the gym to built up those muscles? Its also not the most exciting of sports for the average American, which means the only time you ...
