Doug Towey, CBS sports network television executive, passed away on Wednesday.  He was directly responsible for linking “One Shining Moment” with college hoops and making all our lives a little richer.

If you’re currently drinking a 40, make sure and pour a little of it on your carpet in tribute, as you listen to the following:

Not New, But Not Not Great: Photos of Drunken Athletes

I’ve always wondered if Jimmy Johnson is a mean drunk and it’s nice to have that lingering doubt put to rest.

Unfortunately, they don’t have these archived in the Library of Congress, but the Drunk Athlete site does a pretty good job chronicling these Golden Gods.

Homer Simpson Still Fuming After Being Swindled Out of Controlling Interest of Denver Broncos

simpsons

Excerpted from the Springfield Beacon:

Close associates of Simpson say that he’s still quite angry over having lost control of the controlling interest in the team.  One such associate, who preferred to remain nameless, said:

“What happened to Homer ain’t right.  He put his time in with Hank Scorpio and the Globex Corporation and rightly deserved that sorry sack of a football team.  I mean, jeez, just ’cause Homer supported the Springfield Monorail means the Bowlens can put a lien against the team?  Doesn’t make sense to me, but (Lionel) Hutz told Homer he doesn’t have a case.”

“Now are you going to order something or what?”

John Elway is an Uncannily Nice Human Being, Allegedly

elway

According to Rick Reilly in his latest column.  Read it here.

And I only say allegedly, because I’m still mad that the Broncos shareholders swindled Homer Simpson out of his controlling interest.

How is that Elway’s fault?

This interview’s over.

Aw, the Denver Broncos!?!
