Obviously, the story of the day is Maurice Clarett. And what everyone will say is it's a shame what happened to the guy. First of all, I think he did right to challenge the draft, a player of his stature was necessary to go to court on the issue. He needed to stay eligible while doing it but seemed to adopt a terrible attitude along the way. My concern was he was portrayed as an honor student in high school that enrolled early at Ohio State. Then we find out he needed to take oral exams in college, because he had trouble reading. How does that happen?

But it looks like trouble. Three loaded handguns, a loaded assault rifle, a bulletproof vest, a bottle of vodka and a hatchet! My God, is he driving O.J. around? Whatever drove him to this is anyone's guess, but it appears to be a case of a guy who admits he finally needs help, albeit strangely, after rejecting it for many years.

Meal of Links

It's going to be hard for Senator Lieberman to regain any "Joe-mentum". He's got to give up the ghost immediately.

The court says porn at work is a no-no. I like how Carl Monday represents all that is masturbatory.

How about some "Cheap Eats"? I have some teriyaki chicken leftovers. Mmmmmm...teriyaki.

Video of the Week

I am gonna start a new feature where I'll pick a music video that intrigues me. Of course, I'll try and find some that feature music I like, and are of a higher quality.

New York Dolls-Personality Crisis



What do the Dolls say in "Punk Attitude"? "In America, we were such a hard pill to swallow." Keep in mind, this is 1973.

Exercise Yard

This is beyond cool. Fox Sports Channel is going to show 150 English Premier League matches this year, starting next weekend. Including an 11 o'clocker on Sundays (premiering with Chelsea vs. Manchester City...YEAH!), which was previously hallowed pay-per-view territory. That means non-Berman Sundays.
