You may have some money coming your way today

Now that the Red Sox have won the World Series, it's time for one furniture store to start shelling out a hell of a lot of cash.

Jordan's Furniture, which is based in New England and may have the most boring commercials in the region, ran a promotion back in March and April: buy any sofa, dining room table, bed or mattress, and if the Red Sox win the World Series, you'll be completely refunded. Uh oh.

Apparently there were just below 30,000 orders taken during the promotion, so a lot of people will be getting a lot of money back.

If each order was just $500 — a pretty conservative estimate — then Jordan's might end up giving away more than $15 million. But most people bought more than one item. Apparently one customer could get $40,000 back after they furnished their whole house.

Jordan's — like most companies that run such promotions — had taken out prize indemnification insurance, which covers the payouts. So regrettably they aren't going bankrupt. But estimates are that they spent at least $4.5 million on insurance, so at least there's that.

So just in case you weren't already pissed off enough at Red Sox Nation, now you've got this to add some fuel to the fire.

Vince Young no longer has the worst tattoo ever

I think we all thought Vince Young had one of the worst tattoos ever. After all, having your name tattooed onto your back is pretty arrogant and frankly just strange. There was also Stephen Jackson's tattoo of praying hands holding a gun.

But both are still better than this. A 23-year-old New Zealand rugby fan decided on a dare to get a tattoo a few weeks back that proclaimed the All Blacks not just the winner of the 2007 Rugby World Cup, but also of the 2011 World Cup.

Well, New Zealand was shocked this past weekend in the quarterfinals of this year's World Cup by France.

"It will be a good story to tell the grandkids, and I have had a bit of a laugh" is what the guy said. Frankly, the world would probably be better off if he never has grandkids.

Guess who reffed a controversial NBA Playoff game

I've got to admit, the Suns/Spurs series this year made me madder than any series since the Kings lost to the Lakers in 7 in 2002 in the Western Conference Finals. And what's this? Tim Donaghy reffed that travesty of a Game 3 in Suns/Spurs series. You know, the one in which Simmons ripped the officiating crew a new one.

A brave soul out on the internet managed to get all the questionable calls from Game 3 up onto YouTube. Obviously Donaghy didn't make every bad call in that game, but he made his share.

Go ahead and take a look back. It's all there for you to see.

Dwyermaker and I still refuse to recognize the Spurs's championship for the 2007 season. And you know what, this video ain't got either of us changing our minds on that decision.
