A few interesting links....

Far be it for me to make a post without making a point, but there's a couple of links worth sharing here:

Read.  Understand.  Discuss among yourselves.

Congratulations and Good Luck

Just a quick entry to congratulate The Moderator on his recent exchange of nuptial vows and surviving the hurricane. Mazel tov!

I'd also like to congratulate Shoelace for once again snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. Denard's nickname is also appropriate as far as Notre Dame is concerned, it seems the margin of victory is only ever as wide as those laces. What a great game to watch!

Good luck to the Spartans this week - I would love to see the Irish go 0-3 and Kelly go thermonuclear on the sidelines.

And good luck to my Buckeyes this week in the aptly-named Ineligi-bowl. After the stinker last week, they will need lots of it.

Most disgusting thing a Michigan Athlete has ever done

Ewwww...

New Biography Claims Sarah Palin Had A One-Night Stand With Glen Rice In 1987

The National Enquirer grabbed some details from the upcoming Joe McGinniss Sarah Palin book, and this chunk is too delightful not to share with you immediately. Apparently Palin had a fling with former Heat/Hornet/Laker Glen Rice while he was in college and while she was a sports reporter in Alaska, all the way back in 1987. Rice confirms it in the book.

Here's the Enquirer:

In the book, which will be published on September 20th, McGinniss claims Sarah had a steamy interracial hookup with basketball stud Glen Rice less than a year before she eloped with her husband Todd.

Sarah hooked up with the NBA great, then a 6-foot-8 junior at the University of Michigan when he was playing in a college basketball tournament in Alaska in 1987, the book says. At the time, Sarah, just out of college, was working as a sports reporter for the Anchorage TV station KTUU.

A publishing source told The ENQUIRER that McGinniss claims Sarah had a "fetish" for black men at the time and he quotes a friend as saying Sarah had "hauled (Rice's) ass down."
[...]
In the book, McGinniss quotes Rice as confirming the one-night stand.

We won't subject her journalistic ethics to any kind of scrutiny at this point, because, well, wow. And, oh, don't worry, we are all just as terribly confused as you are.
