SportsFilter: The Tuesday Huddle:

A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.

In the final installment of our "On This Day in SpoFi History Series" celebrating the 10th Birthday of SportsFilter:

On this day in SpoFi History . . . 10 years ago, SpoFites were talking about the firing of the guy who traded for Jason Varitek in the first place (the Red Sox were, after all, in the midst of an 84-year run of futility) and an already-over-the-hill John Madden taking his talents to the MNF broadcast booth; some jackass came mighty close to editorializing in a front page post about the great Mario Lemieux shelving it after the Olympics (with a Michael Jordan sighting as well); and some nerds talked about brackets and shit (and were then shoved in a locker in the Locker RoomTM, left hanging on the coat hooks by their underwear waistbands).

And someone calling him/herself "tipanimal12" (apparently tipanimal 1-11 were taken) joined the site, looked around, registered, made a comment in a bowling thread, and left for good. tipanimal12, we hardly knew ye! But to commemorate your contributions and the 10th Anniversary of SportsFilter, I intend to design and have made t-shirts featuring a sexy cartoon rabbit waitress, with the tagline "Tip Animal" underneath.

The sexy cartoon rabbit waitress should either be bowling or serving up platters of chicken wings and beer to bowlers. And with a mad looking Maddux in the background? Just waiting for his time to "shine."

The Mayans predicted SpoFi gets hit with a Madduxian Cease and Desist tomorrow.

Trons 1 through 6 are still under contract to Snow White.

They're all due a roster bonus in 60 days, though, so she's going to have to decide whether to keep them, get value for them, or let them test the market.
