Friday the 13th javelin accident
2007-07-15 23:10:00
Well, if you haven't looked under the sports category on youtube this past weekend you have not seen the incredibly horrible javelin accident at the Rome Golden League games on Friday the 13th, every single one of the "most watched today" is this javelin thing. I wanted to put the video up, but decided against it due to the fact that I do not know the condition of the long jumper who got hit, but I just wanted to say something about this situation.I sincerely hope the guy that got hit is o.k. and I believe that he is, but seriously, people need to realize the historic purpose of the javelin, which is literally "the name of a pole weapon designed primarily for casting as a ranged weapon" The javelin is meant to maim, gash, slash, stab, hurt pierce, puncture, and wound; it has been for thousands of years. I don't know about you, but if someone was throwing one of these weapons as hard and far as they could and I was within say 500 feet, you can bet that I'd be paying attention.I'm no ...

Tony Stewart likes Schlitz
2007-07-15 23:01:00
Tony Stewart won the USG Sheetrock 400 at Chicagoland Speedway on Sunday. In his post-race press conference Stewart said "I have a case of Schlitz at home and I fully intend to get to the bottom of the cardboard box." All I can say is awesome. I can't think of anything better to celebrate a victory with than a cardboard box full of Schlitz. Nice. Side note: I love that this race is sponsored by sheetrock.anschad@gmail.com ...

NBA Referee Joey Crawford Reinstated
2007-07-12 15:41:00
According to Basketball News and Hoops World, NBA Ref Joey Crawford has been reinstated into the NBA by David Stern. This comes as a surprise because Crawford said that even if he was reinstated by Stern he would never referee another NBA game.A flurry of publicity surrounded the suspension of NBA referee following a showdown with San Antonio Spurs star Tim Duncan. It was with much less fanfare that Crawford was reinstated. Basketball News has learned that NBA Commissioner David Stern, satisfied that Crawford has learned his lesson, has reinstated one of the NBA's most respected referees. Crawford was suspended for the season after he had words with Duncan and then ejected him during an emotionally-charged game in Dallas against the Mavericks. Duncan was fined $25,000 for his part in the incident. "Especially in light of similar prior acts by this official, a significant suspension is warranted," Stern said at the time. "Although Joey is consistently rated as one of our top referees, ...

USA beats Uruguay 2 - 1 to advance in the U-20 World Cup
2007-07-12 14:50:00
Yesterday was supposedly the "worst day of the year in sports" according to to several places and blogs, most significantly over at deadspin. They had a post called the "The Doggest Day of Summer, which said that "[they] are fully wrapped up in the most boring day of sports. No sports today..." Are they serious? I know that there wasn't any crazy hot dog eating contests or sideshows of this nature, but come on. Is soccer really that irrelevant in America that people would rather talk about hobo Olympics and food eating contests than the most beautiful game in the world?Sorry that Deadspin or most other blogs did not notice, but yesterday the US youth Men's National Team played against Uruguay in the round of sixteen in the U-20 World Cup and came from behind to beat them in exciting and stunning fashion. TORONTO(AP) - Michael Bradley scored in the 107th minute, and the United States rallied past Uruguay 2-1 Wednesday night to advance to the quarterfinals of the FIFA Under-20 Wor ...
