So now that you can’t do the Preakness Port-a-potty run anymore, one has to find other idiotic things to do in the infield for entertainment. Check out this guy trying to climb down after his fun on top of a Budweiser truck.

He’ll feel that for a week or so.

For some reason Microsoft got Alonzo Mourning to open their new Miami store and in his speech he told the crowd a little something Scottie Pippen said about LeBron James and Michael Jordan.

“Scottie said LeBron would kick MJ’s ass.”

How are you going to out him like that. Snitches get stitches.

What does Ross Turnbull’s son have in common with Fernando Torres? He has scored as many BPL goals as the Chelsea striker in the calender year.

The best part of Josh Turnbull’s goal was his celebration.

I’ve been spending a ridiculous amount of time with my imaginary friend lately.

Well, the friend isn’t imaginary as much as the friendship is. His name is Marc Maron and he is dominating my entire life.

To be clear, I have never met  Marc Maron, though we did once exchange emails. (I asked about a live show he was doing. He replied. I responded with a joke. He did not continue the correspondence. It was not a good joke.) Our one way relationship began when I started listening to his WTF podcast a couple of years ago.  WTF is such a personal show, and he exposes so much of himself, that you honestly feel like its a three way conversation between Maron, his guest and you.

From there, I started following him on Twitter, looking for him on talk shows and, eventually,  listening to other podcasts on which he appeared as a guest.

Recently, though, things have gotten out of hand. The show, Maron, debuted on IFC and Marc’s book, “Attempting Normal,” came out with a few days of each other. That meant he did the rounds on tv and radio to promote both projects. In the past few weeks I have watched Maron on Jimmy Fallon, Conan, and Leno, listened to a great hour long sit down with Howard Stern (That one was amazing. It felt like the greatest pop culture interviewer in history was giving his seal of approval to the first real potential successor to his throne,) and downloaded podcast appearances with Chris Hardwick and the Sklar Brothers. All of this, while also listening to 3 episodes of WTF a week, watching “Maron” on IFC and reading the book.

It came to a head Friday evening. I listened to WTF on the way home from work, (an interview about life and career and death with TV vet Sam Simon, who’s dealing with terminal cancer.) At 10pm, I watched “Maron” (episode 3 of the series. I think, in order of quality so far, I go episode 2 then episode 3 then episode 1.) After the show was over I got into bed and read a book for a couple of hours. That book was “Attempting Normal.”   In all, I spent 3 and a half hours with Marc Maron Friday night and he didn’t even know about it.

Is that weird?

Are we good?

It looks like allergies hit the Parc des Princes last night as David Beckham was substituted off for the final time. PSG’s game took a brief stoppage as one of the games greats got teary eyed and hugged what seemed like everyone he could find.

Pretty awesome thing his teammates did in dying their hair red, white, and blue in honor of Becks.

Also love that no matter the situation he still has time to fix his hair.

While playing his quarterfinal match against Graham McDowell in the Volvo World Match play Nicolas Colsaerts hit an errant tee shot into a hazard. After officials ruled he crossed the line over the toilet, they made him drop the golf ball in a strange place…the bathroom. Somehow he still made par and halved the hole.

Those announcers sure do love their bathroom jokes.

They probably don’t care who wins the second leg of the Triple Crown, but they do seem to care about each other.

This poster speaks for itself. 111 of his players picked in the NFL draft. 33 in the six years at Alabama. Nick Saban knows what it takes to get his players to the next level.

4 star recruit Elisha Shaw tweeted out a pic of his iPad screen with the quote “Man, I need that fifth star.” Unfortunately for the hotly recruited DT, he forgot to close out the other tabs. You probably don’t want to be lobbying for that elusive last star with POV porn loading in the background.

The 42nd ranked player in the class of 2014 according to 247 Sports favors Georgia and Alabama in the recruiting process. Maybe Isis Taylor can change his mind and get him to USC, a place where they definitely need help on that side of that ball.

Who knew Charles Barkley has his own brand of ribs out. Kenny Smith is right, how can he be a spokesperson for Weight Watchers and have his own baby backs on the market. Guess I really don’t care, I just want to try them.
