This Is What I'm On About

I've been boycotting the Beijing Olympics because, well, the whole thing's a giant sham meant to legitimize a horrendous, totalitarian regime. Seems like ESPN's Rick Reilly agrees with me. I'd offer a blockquote from the story, except it's one giant image, so let this pullquote from the beginning suffice, then head over and [...]

Congrats, Riverside Green!

2007 Week 2 Fantasy Football Results
League: Fulford's Heroes
Deep Fried Turkey defeats Hiphopopotamuses, 114.30 to 106.40.

Rhymenocerouses defeat [...]
