In America you can name your child anything you'd like. In fact, names are all the rage - even David Brooks is writing about 'em! Have you ever met a Lexus? Have you read Freakonomics and then noticed all of the Brittanys, Britneys, Brittanis, Brittanies, Brittneys, and Brittnis out there?

lioninoil posted 7/26/2007 from lioninoil.blogspot.com

The Boston Red Sox took out a quarter page ad in today's Variety to congratulate Matt Damon on his getting his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Defamer points out that pal Ben Affleck is likely to be quite jealous. But Lisanti's missed the real issue here.

Not Your Normal Tennis Injury

lioninoil posted 6/14/2007 from lioninoil.blogspot.com

In the few weeks between the French Open and Wimbledon there are a few weeks in between when players tune up their grass court games. What happened at the Queen's tournament in England to Marc Gicquel should not be permitted under any circumstances. Here is the caption from yahoo sports...

Bad Moon In Bankruptcy

lioninoil posted 6/13/2007 from www.blogger.com

It looks like former NFL star Andre Rison can now join the likes of Scottie Pippen in the category of " I wildly misspent all the millions I made during my successful career." Rison is now facing a court-ordered bankruptcy to pay back over $105,000 in back child support and other debts. Oops...

Remember Jeff Samardzija? He's 0-The Season

lioninoil posted 6/10/2007 from lioninoil.blogspot.com

Remember Jeff Samardzija ? Last time you heard from him he was being glorified on national TV along with his pals Brady Quinn and Charlie Weis . And no longer being buoyed by NBC's self-interested promotion of the Irish, his luck seems to have dried up , at least for now.

Danish Fan Oh So Sorry

lioninoil posted 6/5/2007 from lioninoil.blogspot.com

Meet Denmark's version of Steve Bartman. Or the guy who is WAY worse than Steve Bartman. An apology came today from the Danish fan who attacked referee Herbert Fandel during Saturday's qualifier between Denmark and Sweden. The referee abandoned the match, which in all likelihood will cause the Danish squad to miss next year's Euro 2008. "I so want to say I'm sorry to everyone in Denmark..."

As we all know, soccer in most parts of the world means everything. And it's personal.

Young, Restless Brewers Hit Hollywood

lioninoil posted 5/23/2007 from lioninoil.blogspot.com

The Brewers are a young and restless team, who are baseball's surprise of the season so far. Especially with them being in first place in the NL Central. With the team on the rise it's no wonder players J.J. Hardy, Bill Hall, Chris Capuano and Jeff Suppan decided to try and conquer what every athlete dreams of - crossover success. In other words, Hollywood. Or at least daytime soaps for now. ...

Kid Can't Slide; Mom Sues Coach

lioninoil posted 5/22/2007 from lioninoil.blogspot.com

In a new measure of insanity, one woman won't let things slide. A Staten Island mother is blaming a Little League coach for an injury involving her son three years ago. Jean Gonzalez's rationale? The coach didn't teach her son Martin how to slide properly.

The state of New Jersey is sick and tired of people asking - "where's Rutgers?" - so the state legislature has taken the steps to finally do something about it. They passed a resolution to put "NJ" on the Scarlet R logo. That will do it!!
