You'll be missed. Pour out some bourbon tonight in his honor.

Even if you didn't agree with him, you had to respect him.

"After calling me a few choice words, he informed me that he would make some calls so that I would be dropped from my summer class and would no longer graduate. He also said that he was going to sue me. When he asked if I still planned on leaving, I was at a loss for words. "

Offered without comment, just a great article.

Well, at least according to some Missouri people....

This is a must read.

This gem caught my eye:

Things can still go wrong, as I learned when asking about The Cincinnati Enquirer’s recent report that the Reds would soon switch to "dynamic pricing," in which ticket prices rise or fall based on numerous factors, instead of being set all season. "That was erroneously reported by John Fay," Forgus sharply replied. Forgus had talked to Fay for his story and hinted that dynamic pricing seemed inevitable. "I don’t think there’s a baseball team that won’t [adopt the practice]," she told him. Fay proceeded to write a piece suggesting dynamic pricing was right around the corner. It’s not, and the Reds had to send Davis out to do damage control, explaining that the team is just analyzing the practice.

This after claiming that is was all but done that he was coming.

Good news if the latest is true, UK did not need that headache.

Oh Bobby, don't ever change. You provide me with laugh after laugh....

One piece of news that comes out in the story is that he was suspended by the NCAA and not UK at the start of 2009.

We love you John, but damn.

Very long, and very good.

If Sweater Vest lied to the NCAA, he is staring down the barrel of the NCAA show-cause gun.

"At the very end, somebody took a dump right where I stood in the dugout every day," Baker said Monday morning. "That was the low point. The grounds crew guy cleaned it up. He said, ‘Oh, I think it’s dog crap.’ I said, ‘No it ain’t. That’s human crap.’"

Baker said Monday’s interview was the first time he had discussed the incident publicly. He doesn’t know who the perpetrator was. The episode occurred around the same time that Baker received menacing -- and often racially charged -- letters and telephone calls. But Baker, now the Cincinnati Reds manager, has moved on.

"They (letters) come from Korea, from Knoxville, Tennessee, from Finland and Iceland -- and not one has a bad word to say," said Misch, who is believed to be the last man alive to have seen Hitler and other top-ranking Nazis in the flesh.
Um.....

After ending a 19-game losing streak against Top 25 teams, Crean traded high-fives with fans who stormed the court. Students jumped up and down at midcourt as Hulls tried to finish a television interview, and some of the Hoosiers got in on the act, too, before heading to the safety of their locker room where the celebration continued.

That's right, Indiana fans stormed the court last night. I can't think of anything more pathetic or weak for a major program's fans to do than to storm the court.

Trust me, it is clean and safe...

Best sports related article I've ever read.
