When it comes to women’s basketball, what would you say is the most important aspect of the game. Did you say offensive rebounding? You didn’t! Well, you’d be dead wrong if you said that to the lady Wolverines coach Kevin Borseth. Totally, totally, totally wrong.

You know how people are always talking about the “good ol’ days?” Well, the humiliating ol’ days would be more like it.
So, what’s more embarrassing: the steroid scandals of today or THAT?
Sometimes we just want to take our television sets and throw em out the window when we watch SportsCenter. While ESPN is making us sit through the same boring stuff day after day after day as they try to determine the “Greatest Highlight Ever”, it’s totally missing the boat on other brilliant ideas. Ideas that its Canadian counterpart is gobbling up faster than Chris Berman ingests 222s.
We know that those who can’t do, play fantasy sports. After all, is there anything more consuming than a fantasy football league? Forget family. Forget work. Forget the bills, well everything but cable and high speed internet connection of course. But it’s not just football anymore. People are addicted to fantasy basketball, fantasy golf, fantasy basketball; it’s becoming an American epidemic. However, those same fantasy freaks would probably scoff at the idea of fantasy fishing. Well, scoff no more because these guys are pulling in fantasy addicts like we reel in old shoes. And they’re using big, big bucks as bait.

Fantasy fishing works like any fantasy league. After signing up at Fantasy Fishing, you draft 10 real anglers (never call them “fishermen”) and accumulate points based on how much bass weight they reel in. Each of six regular-season tournaments awards $100,000 to the highest-scoring participant. The most points in the seventh tournament, the Forrest L. Wood Cup — the league’s “Super Bowl” — also wins $100,000. And the $1 million grand prize goes to the most cumulative points over all seven events, with an astounding $5 million “Top 7 Exacta Bonus” to any owner who picks the top seven finishers, in exact order, in any one event. Oh, and they’re also giving away trucks and ATVs and more. Hey, fantasy leaguers, when was the last time Peyton Manning or Alex Rodriguez won you a friggin’ boat?

We know Houston is totally bummed about losing Yao Ming for the season, but one good great thing to come out of the injury is Dikembe Mutombo is finally getting some face time again.

The other day we told you told you about a moron who is tattooing his head to replicate a New England Patriots football helmet. Well, we decided to tag along with our overly obsessed superfan to the doctor in an effort to find out what diagnosis might cause someone to act so irrationally. Turns out, he’s not a just a dumbass like we expected; he’s an asshole.
Will Ferrell is a very revealing guy and we’re not just talking about his the tiny short shorts he wears in his new flick Semi-Pro. For instance, did you know he has some sick post moves, he sweats a lot and Glenn “Big Baby” Davis patterns his game after Mr. Ferrell? See, you actually can learn something from the morons on ESPN.
We’re not the biggest volleyball fans in the world, but for some reason we always seem to find ourselves on the edges of our seats whenever we come across a match. We’ll sit motionless and stare for hours in anticipation of that perfect, glorious moment when one player makes an ideal set and another soars above the net and delivers a 100 mph spike right into their opponents’ grill.
It’s basically the slam dunk of the volleyball world and there’s no sympathy in slamming or spiking – you get a facial and you will get laughed at.
Everybody is up in arms these days about steroids in professional sports, especially baseball. Now, we’re not condoning the use of illegal substances, but, in our opinion, it has gotten to a point where removing steroids and growth hormones and bull sperm or whatever else they use would actually be a disservice to the game. Just look at what happened to this L.A. Dodger after he gave up the juice.
Now, is that really so much better than guys looking like Shrek while jacking homers and throwing no-hitters?
If you ever run across this chicken in a pool hall, DO NOT play for money. She’s a hustler and you’ve been warned.
Hey, at least you’re in know now. We lost $250 to the little plucker!
