Caught this humorous article on ESPN; Reilly is one of the few sportswriters I read up on. So I pass along the share, here.


Q: After almost 150 years of football in this country, how did somebody finally figure out that maybe the biggest guy should get the football?

A: Rugby.

As a kid, Fangupo was always a Toyota or two over the weight limit to play Pop Warner football, "and that made him sad," recalls his mother, Sikuka Tuivailala."He loved football. But he turned it into a positive by trying rugby."

Stumbled across this one. Alabama and LSU have offered a scholarship to a freakin............8th grader!

I can't understand why the NCAA hasn't made laws of the land against this shite.

Some baseball player gave an excuse of roughhousing with his dog as a reason for his rug burn on his forehead. I know what the other obvious explanation is, but I just can't bring myself to say it.
