Tim Tebow Might Not Be a Smart Man

Posted by Adam Butler on March 11, 2010

I thought that was a Bible Verse on Tebow's Eye Black But it May Just be an Addition Cheat Sheet

in fact, his Wonderlic scores suggest he isn’t, but he knows what Love (of the game and Urb) is. Was that grammatically correct? I’m not sure. Maybe I need to take the Wunderlich.

BREAKING NEWS: This is Officially the Worst Thing Ever

Posted by Adam Butler on March 11, 2010

But, it does at least confirm Tony Romo has some serious issues that will preclude him from ever being a great quarterback, and that Dirk Nowitski needs his own reality show STAT (medical term….my wife is a nurse, sort of).

Felix Jones to Make Appearance in Little Rock Saturday

Posted by Adam Butler on March 11, 2010

at the Park Plaza Mall.  DMac is scheduled to appear at University Mall–just kidding, although he will be shut down soon, too, if he doesn’t find a way out of the Bermuda Triangle of Football Careers–Oak Town.

Arkansas Native Torii Hunter on Race in MLB & Cubs v. Uncle Milty

Posted by Adam Butler on March 11, 2010

"Izturis, you Aren't Black, either."

Hunter, a Pine Bluff, AR native recently called Dominican Players imposters, meaning they aren’t back.  I don’t know how I feel about that, but I had Vlad Guerrero on one of my fantasy baseball teams last year (yes, I am that nerdy) and he was an imposter at the plate.

In other Major League Baseball news, Chicago Cubs GM Jim Hendry lashed out at Milton Bradley after Bradley recently told a reporter he “felt like a prisoner” in Chi-Town. 

If I were Hendry, I think I would try to do everything I could to deflect attention from the fact that I haphazardly gave a notorious malcontent headcase a 3-year $30 million contract and would just be happy I had found a team (The Mariners) with a WORSE contract (Carlos Silva at 4-year $48 million) that was willing to take on a clubhouse cancer and send me some $$ to make up the difference in the contracts.

For his part, Bradley took the high (funny) road this time, stating “”I have nothing bad to say about Jim Hendry. He gave me $30 million. God bless Jim Hendry and his family.”

Tickle Me, Eric

Posted by Jeff on March 11, 2010

I don’t know where to start here.  But I guess I have to.

What’s more surprising? 

A) Eric Massa thinks that tickling staff members until they cried out is OK.

B) Eric Massa thinks Glen Beck’s show is the best place to flesh this all out.

I know that Adam gets really mad at me when I tickle him in the Blog Hawgs downtown office.  But if I took my story to Fox News, he’d disown me.
