You three are being very silly, but only exactly one of you is being a dick, and I don't think its rcade.

Things like this are what make college athletics awesome.

I actually *don't* care. I think it's tacky, but I don't necessarily think insincere. I do think if someone is going to pull out gospel to act like that sort of ostentatious preening is somehow the mission statement of Christianity, or anything like preaching the gospel, that person needs to be set straight.

Matthew 6:5-6 - And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men....when thou prayest, enter into thy closet and when thou has shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret....
Sorry, Matthew is one of my favorites. Maybe because it's my name, or maybe its because it's the one most often ignored by proponents of Prosperity Theology bullshit.

Mark 16:15 - And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Matthew 19:21 - Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

In line with Iranian custom, I think you mean. The subset of "Muslim" includes most "Iranians." "Muslim" is not a subset of "Iranian."

I love this. I love it double because I expect the number of women's programs from the above schools banned from the post season would be just about zero.

Oops. Sorry:
Very sad, but I think it was time to go. I agree with the (appropriately) orange text. I'll be interested to see where we go from here.

I only know him from the stupid talking heads show on ESPN that comes on before PTI. I didn't like him. So, now I find out he's not just obnoxious, he's also a scumbag. Well, he'll do just fine on TV, then.

you know, knowsalittle, i think your comparison - besides being absolutely, from-another-planet absurd - fails on a pretty fundamental level. That being, in _flubber_, they are essentially using a technological innovation to improve the performance of equipment. This isn't cheating, this is just sport: golf, tennis, football, hockey, marathoning and on and on - the entire landscape of the competition is constantly changed by improvements to gear. This is something fundamentally different from using controlled substances to change body musculature, hand-eye coordination, etc.

Don't even get knowsalittle started about Angels in the Outfield. The amount of cheating in that is fucking detestable, and supposedly sanctioned by GOD HIMSELF. It's disgusting, that's what it is.

Well, wfrazerjr, I've been waiting awhile. I figured it was about time. I read this in the paper Smithsonian and have been waiting a month to post it.

I have to admit, this is an enjoyable headline to read.
