Fantasy Twistory Lessons
I haven't read much Rick Reilly since he made the leap from SI's back page to ESPN.com. However, I stumbled upon his brilliant Twistory Lessons the other day and it got me thinking about a fantasy version. So I give you a blatently ripped off Twitter bit with a fantasy twist. Fantasy Twistory...
Closing Credits: Wednesday
As you may have heard, we've settled on names for the morning and afternoon/evening link roundup posts. In keeping with the Silver Screen theme, morning posts will be called "Opening Credits," and afternoon/evening posts will be called "Closing Credits." There's no guarantee that each day will...
Rick Reilly Wonders if Tiger Woods is Done
Over at Deadspin, they have a great time remarking on how ESPN got a busted deal when they swapped Dan Patrick for Rick Reilly and a multimillion dollar contract to be with the Worldwide Leader (WWL).

Rick Reilly in Utah's corner
Find me anybody else that went undefeated. Thirteen-and-zero. Beat four ranked teams. Went to the Deep South and seal-clubbed Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. No other team can claim what Utah has this season. They didn't win on a fluke in their bowl game, they didn't play a bunch of scrubs and...
Morneau wins Derby, Hamilton makes history
via d.yimg.com Justin Morneau won the 2008 Home Run Derby, making me a genius or a wizard, but no one will remember that. The man he out-donged in the final round, Josh Hamilton, was the story. If you missed it, find his first round performance on the internet ASAP. Just amazing stuff. 28 home...
Rock M Roundtable!
Watch and observe how the Roundtable crew goes from Awful Awful Burger to Rilo Kiley to Paris Hilton in just a couple thousand words... It's Nevada Week! But don't worry...I'm not going to actually test anybody's knowledge of the Nevada Wolfpack beyond a very basic level...1 - On a scale of 1-5...
