Onion-type sports site.: Satire sites in the Onion vein are hit and miss, but I find this site has more of the former than latter. Take a peak.
OK ... now I say we just kill the mutha.

Actually, it's a pretty funny site, and unless someone can prove Whitey's involved in it, I have no problem with the posting. And it's "peek" (viewing), not "peak" (mountain).

gets? I thought I was always in full-on cranky mode. I'm just going on the "two posts, two sports-related web sites" record. I can google that crap if I need it.

"two posts, two sports-related web sites" huh? we're not posting sports-related sites now? Embarrassed God Jumps Off Notre Dame Bandwagon that headline rocks. thanks for the link, Whitey.

Oops, sorry about the typo! :)

It says in the link guidelines a) that it not be a site you created, and b) that it could be a sports site "of note." The "of note" part is subjective, of course. The first site I mentioned, Sportsdrivel, is probably not of note to this audience, as it's "competition" of sorts. This site, however, is a new and fairly decent quality satire site. It does not try to mine the same vein as 'filter. I'm not playing dumb. You have a right to be skeptical of self-serving folks trying to contribute soley to their traffic and not to the 'filter community. However, in this instance my motives were entirely on the up and up.

That Notre Dame joke is so old my grandfather told it to my dad, and my grandpa died when dad was three!

Yeah they've lifted some lines right off the pages of The Onion, but there are still a few chuckles to be found. : )

"two posts, two sports-related web sites" huh? we're not posting sports-related sites now? Not when they are the only things posted by someone. That's just cheese. It appears, however, that Whitey is on his way to being a "real" SpoFier, rather than the self-serving knuckleheads we try to keep off the pages. If so, Whitey, my apologies, and welcome.
