[Sometimes its better to devote an entire post to a subject. Other times a line or two is all it takes. In those cases, its time for the cross legged mutant]

- In New York a drunken man fully decked out in a tux was given a felony DWI for driving a riding lawnmower while intoxicated. Who knows the innermost workings of a drunken man’s head… but considering that he already had a previous DWI, my best guess would be that at the time, this seemed like the ‘responsible’ thing to do.

- Academics cost the WSU football team here in Pullman 8 scholarships. The good news is that new coach Paul Wulff’s former school, Eastern Washington, scored higher than average. Because to be brutally honest folks, if we aren’t one of the leaders of the Pac-10 in scholar athletes, when it comes to football, we aren’t going to be leading in much. I guess then maybe I had the wrong impression about Bill Doba… it’s either that or this was out of his hands, because I didn’t think he’d allow this to happen under his watch. But if he did, then football aside, it may have been a good move because I’ve always felt integrity is one of the perks of being a WSU Cougar fan. I’d hate to lose that.

- A female runner in Texas took the 1A Texas team track and field championship… by herself. That and she was limited to only five events. Who said there’s no “I” in team?

- Something tells me that Lou Holtz was onto something when he got rid of Troy Hambrick back in 1999 for “off the field” issues.

- According to Nelson Figueora there is no ‘cheerleading’ in baseball. “[The Washington Nationals] were cheerleading in the dugout like a bunch of softball girls,” Figueroa said. “I’m a professional, just like anybody else. I take huge offense to that. If that’s what a last-place team needs to do to fire themselves up, so be it. I think you need to show a little bit more class, a little bit more professionalism.” Firstly, who said pro athletes couldn’t have fun? And secondly… who the hell is Nelson Figuera?

- I have major problems with the NHL. This weekend I settled down on the couch to try and watch the weekend playoff games on NBC as I have been for a few weeks now… and the morons… er… powers that be apparently decided to only broadcast game 5 in each of the two conference finals rather than games 2 and 5. Well, guess what? Thanks to that decision, someone who actually wants to watch hockey, can’t. For a league as desperate for fans as the NHL is, they certainly don’t know how to market their product. Pitiful.

- You know, I remember this offseason everyone crying about the Florida Marlins’ payroll, and how terrible it was that they would trade away both Dontrelle Willis and Miguel Cabrera. Well, it’s May and the Marlins are tied for the best winning percentage in baseball. They may not stay up there, but a lot of well-paid professionals and critics owe everyone an apology.
