Here are the best satire stories for this week.
[The Brushback]: “Sheryl Crow Now Pro-Cancer” (No article but damn that’s a hell of a headline.)
[The Brushback]: Report: Gretzky Not Man Enough To Bet On Football “I’ve been associated with him for many years and there is no bigger pussy on earth than Wayne Gretzky. It takes balls to bet on football, especially the huge amount of money his wife was betting. That lady has the courage of ten men, unlike her husband, who would shrink in fear from a game of bingo.”
[Sportalicious]: CHENEY FAILS TO QUALIFY FOR OUTDOORS GAMES
[Sports Pickle]: Art Shell the Latest Re-Tread Black Coach to Get a New Job “I don’t like to stick my nose into the hiring practices of our teams,” said NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue, “but this is definitely a matter that needs attention. Art Shell was fired by the Raiders after the 1994 season and in the 12 years since hasn’t had any other jobs. Yet now, after only granting interviews to a few white candidates, the Raiders hire him back. This kind of old boy network cronyism must come to an end in the NFL.”
[The Onion]: Gretzky: ‘I Never Bet On Baseball’ ” can say with great certainty that I never bet on the Cincinnati Reds, and that I never bet on baseball, nor do I intend to, nor would I even know where to begin if I were to do so,” said Gretzky, who will now likely never gain admission to the National Baseball Hall of Fame.”
