Sports and Drugs
This is probably the most honest thing I’ve read about sports and performance enhancing drugs. Some key quotes:
NBA:
Of all the running-and-jumping sports that feature world-class athletes competing at the highest level, only the NBA hasn’t had a single star get nailed for performance enhancers … you know, because there’s no way hundreds of overcompetitive stars with massive egos would ever cheat to gain an edge with hundreds of millions of dollars at stake.
Boxing:
for the record, Keith Richards in 1978 after a night at Studio 54 could pass one of boxing’s drug tests
NFL:
I believe that Ray Lewis cheated. I believe that to be true based on circumstantial evidence, his age, his overcompetitiveness, the history of that specific injury, and the fact that his “recovery” made my shit detector start vibrating like a chainsaw..

Mixed Nuts in Space
Not sure any comment is needed. Via the Canadian Space Agency on the International Space Station. (OK, I guess that was a comment).

Brothers
At the beginning of the NFL season some folks were predicting a Super Bowl with Eli and Payton Manning competing. But now we have John and Jim Harbaugh coaching against each other.
Last week all four team I wanted to win lost. This week both the teams I wanted won. I’ll take it.
I’m not even sure who I’ll root for in the Super Bowl. Normally I’m an NFC guy, but the “win one for Ray” idea is compelling.
As long as the Patriots can’t win, I’m happy…

Obama Hates Death Stars
Because we have some funky rule that any petition with a certain number of signatures requires an official response, the Obama administration has an official response to the request to build a Death Star by 2016. Or maybe it’s just that they have an actual sense of humor:
- The construction of the Death Star has been estimated to cost more than $850,000,000,000,000,000. We’re working hard to reduce the deficit, not expand it.
- The Administration does not support blowing up planets.
- Why would we spend countless taxpayer dollars on a Death Star with a fundamental flaw that can be exploited by a one-man starship?
