Walker Held at Gunpoint

Antoine Walker should seriously consider moving out of the Chicago area. Monday marked the second time the Miami forward was robbed at gunpoint in the Windy City.

The first time was in July of 2000, when he was robbed while sitting in his car outside a south side restaurant. Monday, Walker was robbed in his home in Chicago's River North neighborhood. Police aren't giving many details, except that Walker and at least one other person were held at gunpoint by two offenders without injury and that a vehicle, cash and jewelry were taken Walker's agent says that the NBA star is okay and that he's getting everything, including himself, back together.

Neither Walker or the Heat had any comment as facts are gathered.

Jelena and Jamie, Sittin in a Tree...

Here’s a way to get a girl that I’ve never heard of before: ask her to partner you at Wimbledon and the go on to win. Serbian tennis player Jelena Jankovic honestly believes that the reason she and her mixed doubles partner, Briton Jamie Murray, won at Wimbledon is because Jamie had a big, fat crush on her.

Jankovic gets her evidence from the fact that Murray asked her to partner him out of the blue even though she insisted she wasn't a doubles player. She also says Murray spent pauses telling her how attractive she was “instead of discussing tactics.” I’m sure she’s not trying to toot her own horn or anything, but she claims that by the end of the tournament, she “realized that in fact he had fallen in love.”

All kidding aside, though, I’ve seen this happen once before. Those 2004 Red Sox fucking loved me. Really, though, who could blame them.

How Can You Not Love Red Sox Fans?

I’m a Red Sox fan and so it’s imperative that I flaunt all that makes my great nation…well, great. Reasons number 42 and 43 are these two guys who, like many others, take pride in making fun of the Yankees with no regard toward their self-worth, image and/or esteem.



You see, there’s nothing quite as refreshing as the ability to make fun of yourself Alex Rodriguez, especially in song. You may want to call it annoying. You would be wrong.

Thanks to Dan over at Red Sox Monster for this. I only wish he could introduce me to them.

Patrick Says Good-bye to ESPN

Dan Patrick may not be going to The Price Is Right, but he's not staying at ESPN.

There's no word as to whether or not he's leaving because of the recent onslaught of bad media the World Wide Leader is faceing, but Patrick announced on his radio show a few minutes ago that he'll be leaving the network next month.

Happy Fourth of July!

In the rare event that my mom (or your mom) isn't the only one reading this blog, I feel compelled to inform you of my upcoming absense (which clearly seems to have started last week - I hate having a job that requires me to "work" the requisite eight hours).

Believe it or not, I get a bit of a vacation, so I'll be attempting a tan at Cape Cod starting tomorrow. Since it's not exactly easy to come by wireless internet in a summer cottage that, you know, doesn't have it, and since I refuse to spend sun-filled drinking time trapsing for a Starbucks with wi-fi (Dunkin Donuts isn't quite as advanced yet), I leave you here.

Enjoy your Fourth of July and remember: nothing says "U.S.A." like an Pac Man shooting. But I'll settle for any NFL arrest upon my return.
