@edsbs Freeze Ian Darke and thaw him out two months before Brazil 2014. We can’t have anything happening to him in the interim.

@TheBigLead Athletes: if you want to get a daytime DUI, shoot up a strip club or take a dump in a closet, today is the day. Thank Steinbrenner later

@marklisanti He’s been confirmed dead for about 5 minutes now, and still haven’t seen a Steinbrenner Gets Another Chance To Fire Billy Martin joke yet.

@LeavittDC Can we get someone to set odds on this bill passing? RT @chadmillman: Congressional hearing for pro-Internet gambling bill July 21.

@edsbs By the time the Big Ten’s embrace of cold weather championship game is over, they be playing nude on an icefloe.
