Couldn't the other NBA owners after this season just vote to contract the league by one team, and that team is the Clippers? Then they announce they're expanding the league by one team, based in Los Angeles, and award it to a new owner.

While all of this dick-swinging has been going on, Albert Pujols hit his 500th home run.

I had a surreal technical glitch occur; during Jake's speech, right after he talked about not being able to lie to his children anymore, the feed seamlessly jumped back to the moment of Arn and Rey standing up and holding up beer cans and the crowd cheering, like they were saluting Jake's demise.

For real? Damn, all this time I thought Baylor had an adamantine skeleton. The dude was totally baddass as a player. Even badasses get old, sadly. . . also, Baylor had multiple myeloma, which can result in brittle bones.

Bobby Parnell has an incomplete tear of the MCL in his elbow, received a plasma injection and has been put on rest for a few weeks.

Find me an example. Anvil calls it the Hart Attack in their SummerSlam 90 pre match promo.They make a similar reference in a SNME promo before a match against the Killer Bees in 1986-ish.

Trout and the Angels agree to 6-year extension

I'm not sure, but the Phillies managed to sell high on past-successful lower-rotation pitchers. J.A. Happ, Vance Worley, and now Blanton.

OH BOY BRAIN, THESE FANS CAN STICK IT! In fact they can use the irresistible force of my immovable object to stick it! THEY WENT TO THE WELL ONE TOO MANY TIMES JESS! Okay, I couldn't resist. Now I Photoshopped Monsoon, Heenan, and Ventura as the alternate-universe nWo:

OH BOY BRAIN, THESE FANS CAN STICK IT! In fact they can use the irresistible force of my immovable object to stick it! THEY WENT TO THE WELL ONE TOO MANY TIMES JESS! Now that I think about it, there's something very heelish and "shoot-y" about "This guy doesn't know a wristlock from a wristwatch."

I just suggested it to him on Twitter; hopefully someone will like the idea.

Yeah, I was going to say, "Pencil in May [DATE] as Jeter's last home game."

Am I really going to be the first to bring up the name of Damaramu?

I'd give good money to see Elway suit up, complete with Jim Ross screaming "W-wait a minute! That's John Elway's music! Bah God John Elway is on the sidelines in uniform!"

They pushed the update back to the 14th...

What if it were, say, 9.95 a month but you had to pay 6 months at once? And if it were not a cable channel, but a streaming service via PS3/XBox/Roku/etc. And it also had, oh I don't know, a complete archive of all RAWs/Smackdowns/PPVs/WCW/ECW? Just a hypothetical here.

Indeed. And how would they even plan to fight against that? Amend the PED policy to include some "if suspended for PED use during last year of contract, XX must sign a one-year deal at league minimum salary with current team for the following season." clause?
