He thinks it’s completely bogus that we can’t throttle other countries on an Olympic gridiron.

I’ve been slacking on here, but this aught to redeem myself at least a little…

ALBION — No one struck out when it came to playing a marathon whiffle-ball game over the weekend for charity and a scholarship fund…They recorded the marathon on tape. It began at 7 p.m. Friday and ended at about 7 p.m. Saturday. (Whiffle-ball game for charity lasts 24 hours, sets record – Erie Times-News)

I think these stats speak for themselves…

• Final Score: 935 – 514, the game ended in the top of the 149th inning (there was no need for the home team to bat in the bottom half…with a 421 run lead)

• According to one of the player’s wives, some players hit 150 to 200 home runs (with a 64-foot fence, she’s probably not exaggerating that bad)

The players raised $1500 for charity, and (surprise, surprise) they could find themselves in the Guinness Book of World Records.

In an effort to get StuffTheOlympicsLiked.com up and running, posts here are going to be short and sweet.

Doesn’t mean they can’t contain a bucket of awesome, however.

With that said, if you get FitTV you should be watching Namaste Yoga. For your viewing pleasure…

It’s yoga that can be enjoyed from your couch, with a can of Budweiser! The HR guy at my company turned me onto this by the way – god bless him.

Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh won the gold medal yesterday during a rain storm. (I don’t know what I did to deserve that). I could see this match living in my DVR for quite awhile.

Anyone else lose count of how many time Karch Kiraly said wet balls?

I never thought it would get this out of hand…

TAMPA, FL — Police have arrested a local kickball coach and charged him with raping a 21-year-old kickball player. 26-year-old Andre Javon Newton is also accused of threatening the player’s life.

Investigators say Newton visited the woman in late July and asked her to help provide money for kickball uniforms.

When she went into a bedroom, he reportedly followed her, pushed her onto a bed, and then raped her.

Tampa Police say this is the same kickball league that spawned fights at Riverfront Park back in late-May when officers responded to a brawl of about 100-people. (ABC Action News – Tampa kickball coach accused of raping player)

With the past incidents, It would not shock me if Tampa had some sort of penal kickball league already in existence. Unfortunately for this mook, he’s probably just got lots and lots of solitary confinement to look forward to.

Quality 1-on-1 roller derby match-up between two diet staples…

Salt really abandons the tenet of good sportsmanship with that croquet mallet.

It gets a little contentious at center track, before salt goes out of his gourd and skates straight into the wall.

Supports the assertion that bacon is awesome.

I would even eat it in ice cream.

His name is Frank “El Ingles” Evans. He’s 66 years-old, and the only living English bullfighter.

He’s slain over 300 bulls in his 40+ year career. This past weekend, he got back in the ring for the first time in three years since having a knee replacement and quadruple bypass heart surgery.

His next stop could be a matador tour of South America – so that he can say he’s fought in every country in the world that will allow you to kill a bull inside a ring. (Fighting fit at 66: Britain’s heart bypass matador back with a flourish)

This guy makes me feel bad about myself, and ashamed to know half the people I know.
