Your olympics coverage was incredible. My husband kept joking that I had to limit my use of the phrase "According to Rodger Sherman..." to five times per day max. Kept blowing past it! Please do the Tour de France next.

This is very good and funny. BUT Curt Schilling played for the Phillies! For eight years!! Much longer than he was on the Red Sox. He was the 1993 NLCS MVP.

The Norwegian skier crashing out after blowing it in the slalom is the most relatable thing I've ever seen. I, too, would simply trudge across the mountain and then lie down in the snow alone. #olympics

Allen Iverson denies a claim made by a former teammate that he occasionally spent $40,000 at a strip club when he was a 76er. "First of all it was like $9,000 at most and there were never any strippers at the TGI Friday's on City Line," says Iverson. "Unless I brought them.
Sometimes I brought a bunch. And I supposed in those cases, yes, the bill could get up to 40K because they didn't have the Endless Appetizers thing back then."
