There's Nothing Worse Than Your Mom Telling You To Stop Boning So Loudly

Shantericca Madden: Confession Of A Killer



The New York Times really does bring some amazing stuff to the table.  A feature on their website today covers, in impressive breadth and scope, the March 3, 2011 murder of Middle Tennessee State University women's basketball player Tina Stewart by her roommate Shanterrica Madden.  The first piece is a telling of both women's stories using firsthand accounts of those who know them best, close friends and relatives.  Alongside that is a 40 minute video of Madden's confession to murdering her roommate during her police interrogation.  The Times does an excellent as always, providing a transcript that runs in real-time with the video as well as an interactive time bar that allows you to jump through the video to what you want to see, each section labeled.  It's powerful stuff, a strong reminder sports is not life, just merely an aspect of it.

Player Wives


Come on down, Kelly Bartlett!

Jason Bartlett, you deserve this. Playing for the Rays can be tough; two thousand fans coming to watch a playoff game can be hard on any man. But being able to come home to a dime like that must make things better.

Here's to you, Jason.

Quote Of The Day


We give you a quote fitting for the day, a reminder of just why you drank a couple gallons of brew, a couple pints of tequila, and the mysterious liquid that was in the bottom of the cooler because, "I totally saw some spill some Stoli in there." So, as you battle your hangover, watch your hands shake as you detox, and perspire sweat that is 40 proof, read this. It's a quote that combines love of nation for love of alcohol from a man who was known to love the women, Ben Franklin. (The quote is, in fact, out of context. Here is the full quote. Fuck it. We like it.)

"
Beer if proof God loves us and wants us to be happy."

Eyeopener - We're Back!


We're back, bitches! Shitty weekends at work finished? Check. Livers drowned? Check. Colons plastered full of barbecued food? Check. Let's get back at this shit. The video is NSFW but whatever, you'll watch it anyway.

-Not going to rehash the past (too much) but it was a crazy weekend in sports:

JR Hildebrand can only successfully make 799 out of 800 left hand turns.

Dale Jr. needed about 1500 more feet worth of fuel.

Jim Tressel's sweater vest is not made of Kevlar but merely a cotton-poly blend.

Jo-Jo's Got Mojo!

In An All ACC Final In Men's Lax, Terps Win Crown.

Barca > ManU

Sepp Blatter is the Saddam Hussein of sports.

Bartolo Colon is doing steroids.

The Rockies are the 8-20 in May.

John Danks stanks, is a sore loser.
