Nothing like dropping the F-bomb in a post game interview

Regrettably this was a radio interview, so we can't see this excellent conversation. But it's still great. Arizona State QB Rudy Carpenter casually drops an F-bomb into his post game interview from this past Saturday after beating Oregon State. Then he jets off in the middle of the interview like a complete douchebag to I presume go shag chicks or tap a keg. Classy.

T.O. is into deer fighting, or something

I don't really want to write about this, not because I have anything against T.O. (well, maybe I do), but because I'm getting tired of people trying to help explain Michael Vick. As a lot of you know, Whoopi Goldberg recently defended Vick. She claimed dogfighting was part of his cultural upbringing. Excellent. Just like how repeatedly bashing losers was part of my upbringing. It's ugly sure, but dammit it was ingrained in me people, there's nothing I can do about it. So I'm glad Whoopi and I see eye to eye on this issue. You know, except for the part about killing dogs.

But T.O.'s response was more interesting. He compared dogfighting to hunting deer: “They cut their heads off and they go to mount them on the wall. And they are animals as well. I don’t see a big difference in the situation.”

Excellent point T.O., even though deer are totally wild animals that can't easily be kept in cages and half-drowned by you before you put a bullet in their heads. And they aren't bred for domestication either. But other than all those things, and about 50 other reasons, they are exactly like dogs - no question.

All this aside, if T.O. starts his own deer fighting league, I'll totally be there.

Starving kids don't bother Kobe Bryant

Stories like this always remind me that pro athletes live and walk in a world much different from ours - at least until they inevitably go broke by age 40 from doing stuff exactly like this story.

Pic and story from TMZ:

Bryant and his wife, Vanessa, were at Friday night's grand opening of BLUSH Boutique Nightclub at the Wynn in Las Vegas, when he saw poker player Antonio "The Magician" Esfandiari kick in for two bottles of $1,400 Cristal champagne. According to sources inside the club, Kobe wasn't about to be shown up by some puny little card player -- and kicked in for five bottles. Antonio, who's used to upping the ante, then switched his order to ten! Go big or go home!

Kobe ended the competition when he purchased an astounding 15 bottles -- and then left the club! Just to put Bryant's baller status into perspective -- Kobe's $21,000 bill still doesn't cover what NBA and gambling legend Charles Barkley drops on one hand of blackjack!

You have to love Kobe's competetive spirit, and the sheer audacity to do something this ridiculous. There's nothing quite like spending a teacher's yearly salary on something you'll never use. Good to see capitalism at work doing, uh, whatever it is capitalism does.

Brady Quinn has an inflated sense of self-worth

Brady Quinn sure has been a popular subject of late in the blogging community, especially for his tendency to show up in odd locations and get photographed.

But here's a new one, and this time it's making the people of Cleveland not so pleased.

Quinn, who let's all remember has yet to throw a single pass in the NFL, spent his Saturday at a Cleveland area mall charging $75 for a signed picture of himself and up to $225 for other signed merchandise. Lining your already full pockets will always endear you to fans.

No word on what a picture signed by both Bret Michaels and Quinn was going for.

Fans were pissed because there were no advertisements that said they would need to pay for Quinn's autograph. Now obviously it's a bit absurd to think he wasn't going to be charging anything for his autograph, but $75 for a signed picture of himself?! I'm not even sure I'd pay $75 for a Joe Montana signed picture.

Still, Quinn may just be hitting the market now while demand is high. Somehow I have a feeling that in a year or two it may be a bit less expensive to get an autographed picture of Quinn.
