Clemens not only looks like he's still on the juice, but I kept doing double takes because I thought I was seeing the spectre of Jack Abramoff up there.

First, because of his arrogant dissimulation -- and second, because he apparently borrowed the same stuffed-sausage suit that Abramoff wore to his trial.  Y'know, the one that Abramoff bought from the "Three Hundred Pounds In A Five-Pound Bag" Shoppe.

My response to Clemens' perjury can be summed up by the unsophisticated, but newly relevant, playground taunt:

"Nanny, Nanny, Poo Poo"

So the NFL is cracking down on churches that screen that overhyped game for their members.  That's as mercenary as it gets.  Where's The Penguin with her yardstick when we really need her?  She'd do some cracking of her own.

Will I watch the game and chuckle at the commercials?  Heavens, yes!

Will I actually buy any of the advertised products? 

Hell, no!

The problem with the Skins is that the wrong leadership position is open.  The football gods should have hung onto Joe Gibbs and Gregg Williams -- and banished the owner.

The reason Snyder is constantly meddling with his team is because his secret dream was to play center for an NFL team.  Unfortunately, he's cursed with a chronic condition that makes him ineligible.

It turns out that by some freakish quirk of nature, the back of Snyder's neck occupies the exact same location where the quarterback needs to put his hands.

"Italian golfer ... suspended after failing a drug test ... tested positive for the diuretic Finasteride"  (Post, 8/2)

You gotta be kidding me.  They're testing golfers for diuretics?  What a goofball world this is.  Diuretics make you pee. 

In the case of racehorses, a diuretic can sometimes wring a slightly swifter performance out of them.  And I grant you, on the public links on Saturday, a diuretic might have a beneficial effect by speeding up the play there too.  Let's pick up the pace!  I got business to attend to!  

But what's the angle for pro golfers?  Does it enable them to drain their putts more frequently?

The best part (we'll see if it gets past the blog nanny) is this golfer's name:

Alessandro Pissilli !!

Yep, this one's just plain silli!  So dawgone silli, in fact, it's got me totally ... well, you can guess.
