Sir Charles, telling it like it is
 
Charles Barkley talked politics at the Democratic National Convention and ... didn't suck. I especially like his answer about what he thinks of Hillary dead-enders who claim they'll vote for McCain. Is he Winston Churchill? No. But he ain't Ocho Cinco either. Look out 'bama, this could be your next Gov.

More evidence that being an SD fan sucks
 
Sadly, LT was forced to place his ESPYs on ebay to afford Padres tickets and an extra nacho cheese cup. Forbes magazine just published a "study" discussing the worst sports cities to be fans in. Not only do they take into account how good the actual teams are, but the cost of attending a game relative to the average household income. According to the study, only Miami is worse, probably ...

Well, the ’08 Summer Olympics are over. Michael Phelps broke records, the Chinese broke the bank, and Morgan Freeman broke my tear ducts with those cloying-yet-you’d-have-to-be-made-of-Terracotta-not-to-cry-at-them Visa ads. Here are a few observations/highlights to wrap up the Games...

We were so GOOD together! (sob) -FYI, Cal Football Fan Fest is this Saturday . Come out to support the Asian American Bone Marrow Donor Program and maybe even meet Marshawn the dog! [Bears With Fangs] -With John Smoltz and Tom Glavine both sidelined for the year with injuries, new Dodger Greg Maddux appears to be the "Last Man Standing" from those great 90's Braves ptiching staffs.

The Science of Crotch Shots
 
So what EXACTLY happens when you get hit in the nuts with a tennis ball at high speed? Well the people Fox Sports Network: Sports Science are more than happy to pelt a guy named Jason in the nether-regions in such a fashion, and the result is quite entertaining. And educational, too!

Throwbacks and Fitteds
 
Above is a sweet new design from http://www.ecapcity.com/ . The Padres minor league affiliate Rancho Cucomonga Quakes have always had a popular lid, but they've taken it to another level with the actual fault line across the bill. Pretty sweet for us hat dorks (FYI, the other cap is of Phillies' minor leauge affiliate Clearwater Threshers ). And for even more Padres-related stuff, this ...

LT Meets Kimbo, You gotta see this
 
This is an awesome new Nike commercial (via Awful Announcing ). Now whether or not the last part was real, who knows. But I love this backyard training stuff. Tony Simpson-Romo should try it: And here's an Olympic-sized Inspirational Quote for everyone: "If I had a bad performance in a particular leotard, I threw it in the trash." -Former gymnastics gold medalist Mary Lou Retton

 Fantasy Football: The cure for Blog Hibernation
Fantasy Football: The cure for Blog Hibernation
Yes, it's been a while. Yes, we've sucked at keeping up this blog updated with the intra-web shenanigans that all of our seven readers have come to expect. Overall things have been slow, and for Padres fans the dog days of summer baseball have been less than inspiring, to say the least.

Happy Birthday PHN!
 
Yesterday was the one year anniversary of this here blog and we all forgot. Kinda like we forget about this little gem most days. We are bad parents. Thanks to those of you still reading. I'd say we'll try and be better about posting, but lying is such an unbecoming character trait.

Adiosito, Manolito
 
And so the Manny Ramirez Era in Boston comes to and end, in a fashion that seemingly mirrors the man himself: Confusing, dramatic, and with a total screw job for the Pittsburgh Pirates. OK, so Manny's career has never had anything to do with the Pirates, but they did seem to get the raw end of this deal . About 40 minutes after the trade deadline Thursday, it was announced that Manny is ...
