Charger busted for relieving himself in public

Terrence Kiel is in trouble with the law for urinating in public early in the morning on December 18th. If San Diego had public urinals (pictured) like Amsterdam, Terrence wouldn't have had a problem.

eBay really has everything

You can bid on a Nintendo with every licensed game ever made. Erv, now you know what to get me for Valentines' Day. The current bid is only $15,500.

"The Beard" is in Miami

Bad Reggie

The NFL fined Reggie Bush $5,000 for taunting Urlacher at the end of his 88-yard touchdown reception last Sunday. I'm sure that fine is less painful than what Urlacher will do to Bush next time they meet.

Another look-a-like

Boilers scalp Illini

Purdue (14-7, 3-4 Big Ten) improved its record to 12-0 at home by downing Illinois today, 64-47. Senior David Teague lead all scorers with a career-high 28 points. Teague shot 10-for-17 from the field and made five 3-pointers.

A classic

Update: Less than a day after I originally posted this, the YouTube user has removed the Super Bowl Shuffle. I found the craptastic replacement below.

I heard a new song dedicated to this year's Bears team on the radio tonight. Download it here.

Man wins $102,000 gets two buffet tickets instead

A casino in Pennsylvania is denying a retired carpenter a $102,000 payout that he won on a slot machine. The casino says that it was a machine malfunction, which voids the payout. If casinos are allowed to use this excuse, what stops them from saying all large payouts are due to machine malfunctions?

Great Purdue Video

This video puts together many of the great sports clips and pictures from when I was at Purdue (except the pictures of the guy who made the video of course). It was nice to see Drew Brees, Kenny Lowe, Willie Deane, and Shaun Phillips back in their Purdue uniforms. Dave and I were at the Ohio State game at the beginning of the clip and we were somewhere in that crowd of people standing on the field after the victory.

No contract extension for Lovie until after Super Bowl

I was hoping that the Bears would put to rest the rumor that Jerry Jones is thinking about hiring Lovie Smith to replace the recently retired Bill Parcells by quickly giving Lovie an extension. However, Jerry Angelo dashed my hopes today by announcing that he would not be working on a contract extension for Lovie until after the Super Bowl.

More Bobby Knight

This time Bobby is taking a shot at former Purdue AD George King.

Judge allows Tank to leave Illinois

A Cook County judge has decided to let Tank attend the Super Bowl in Miami. I would recommend that all Miami residents pick up a bullet proof vest before Tank rolls into town.

By the way, I stole the idea for my Tank picture from Erv.

What happened to his head?

Great picture from NFC Championship

Des Clark throws Bernard Berrian like a rag doll after Berrian scored on a 33-yard touchdown pass from Grossman.

Bears headed to the Super Bowl

The Bears are heading to their first Super Bowl in 21 years after destroying the Saints 39-14. To make things even better they get to play the Colts and the least clutch quarterback ever. I can't wait to watch Urlacher manhandle Peyton and the rest of the Colts offense.

Prior says he's ready for Spring Training

Mark Prior is claiming that he is ready for Spring Training. I'm willing to bet that he won't make it through Spring Training without needing to rehab something.

Samardzija chooses Cubs over NFL

Jeff Samardzija signed a $10 million, five-year contract with the Cubs today. I can't believe the Cubs gave a minor leaguer a deal worth that much. He's projector to start in Daytona, which is Class A.

Twins

Chicago Bears lineman Israel Idonije looks alot like Biz Markie. I got the idea from here not here.

First four episodes of 24 season 6 available tomorrow

I have good news for those of you who missed last night's season premiere of 24 and can't find time to watch it tonight either. Instead of waiting until the complete season 6 comes out on DVD you can buy the first four episodes tomorrow! This is of course assuming that you won't be using BitTorrent sites to get them illegally.

4/8/2007

It has been announced that the second half of the sixth (and final) season of The Sopranos will start on April 8th. Save a seat for me Larry.

Will he ever learn?

Barry Bonds once again reminded us what a great guy he is when he threw teammate Mark Sweeney under the bus last week. Last week it was revealed that Bonds had tested positive for amphetamines last summer. Bonds first stated that he was not his fault because he had taken the substance from Sweeney's locker without knowing what it was. You would think someone who went through the BALCO flaxseed oil incident would exercise better judgment when putting pills in his mouth.

Boilers move to 11-0 at Mackey

Purdue improved their home record to 11-0 by beating Dave's Michigan Wolverines last night, 67-53. Carl Landry lead all scorers 22 points while Teague dropped in 21. Purdue is now 12-5 (2-2 Big Ten).

HS Coach in some trouble

Finally something worth posting on my blog. I can't tell you how many times my high school soccer coaches used to play that "What's the capital of Thailand" joke on us. Actually I can tell you how many times, zero. You can imagine what it would be like if they did though.

Mexico round 2

Angie and I are going on our first vacation since our honeymoon over Spring Break. We're headed to Hotel Dorado Pacifico in Ixtapa.

880

In honor of Bobby Knight's 880th career victory.
