  That audio clip is hilarious.  After they spending 7 minutes reading the entire story on the air, it takes a caller to tell them that it's "definitely fake."

  That was one of the funniest things I've ever heard.

If I can only get Chris "Jesus" Ferguson to go to that Russian restaurant with me and Oleksiy Pecherov and Harvey Grant and Kyle Visser and Norman Chad, I'll be willing to accept a buyout and go back to work selling high-end French sheep's milk cheese for the rest of my career. I will also note that, in my career, I'm 2-for-2 on Vegas WNBA bets. Sadly, WNBA All-Star Week, which Adrian Fenty will officially proclaim tomorrow night, will limit my chances to get rich this week. But if anyone knows of any obscure sports that would be worth a theoretical, mind-only, non-ombudsman-inciting look, feel free to let me have it.

Snide commenters aside, I think the Junkies are pretty likeable, or a ...
