We go from the perfect bikini model to the Perfect Human. Bob Wojnowski sat down with Nick Lidstrom for an interview. It's amazing how little we probably know about Lidstrom, and he's probably in the running for Detroit's Mount Rushmore. Really, let's think about this for a second. You've got to go with Steve Yzerman, Al Kaline and probably Barry Sanders. But who's the fourth guy on there? Shouldn't the guy who is arguably the greatest defenseman of all time get some consideration? As much as he's appreciated, I get the feeling that he's totally underappreciated because he's so quiet and has played with the old superstars -- Yzerman, Shanahan, Fedorov -- and the new superstars -- Zetterberg, Datsyuk. But he's always there, being great. (DetNews)
How about some questions heading into the Western Conference playoffs. The West has been better and deeper than the East for years, but this year it seems overly lopsided. I'm just wondering if the team comes out of the West won't be more worn down than the one that comes out of the East. Which would be fine, if it's Chicago or San Jose that comes out of the West. Cause fuck those guys. (Sporting News)
The awful headline here goes perfectly with the awful display of manliness shown by Charlie Villanueva. Villanueva decided to play the tough guy, getting into a catfight with Ryan Hollins, another monster of a man, during the Pistons loss to the Cavs. Apparently, Villanueva was shouting over police and Palace security near the locker room that he was "going to kill" Hollins. This helped to prove a universal truth: That bitchasses are always a lot more tough when they know somebody is going to hold them back. (Freep)
Oh, and Dennis Miller, Derek Zoolander and Mark Cuban had a massive gay orgy, collected their sperm in a cup and impregnated Bruce Springsteen who had a child. That child is now the new owner of the Pistons. (Freep)
Make sure to run out and pick up Alex Ogando in your fantasy baseball league. Wait, don't, because he's sure to have a 5.67 ERA for the remainder of the season, and will spend August in bullpen and September on his mother's couch. But he shut down the Tigers Monday afternoon, because that was the part of the team that decided it was going to be shitty that day. At least the Red Sox are 2-8. (MLive)
It's been a while since we've had a good point-shaving scandal in college sports, so thank you to the University of San Diego basketball team for reminding us that people still do this. Let's make a deal, the first person who writes or says that if we paid college players stuff like this wouldn't happen, gets punched in the throat. (SI.com)
The National Football Post chased a shitty source Monday afternoon and came up with a bogus story on Terrelle Pryor thinking about leaving Ohio State for the Supplemental Draft. This is one of those Internet rumors that can have legs because it kind of makes sense. Or it would, if it didn't later come out that Pryor might not even be eligible for the Supplemental Draft. Details. (The Big Lead)
Hey, we on the Left are plenty capable of making disturbing, probably over the line political advertisements, as well. Does anyone need a high-capacity magazine outside of the military? No. Do we need to see a guy shooting a silhouette of a child to understand this? Hell no. (Huffington Post)
Here's an upbeat song to start (or continue) your day. I very nearly didn't post this thanks to the singer's hair. Yeah, I'm like that:
