First off, many Adriatic blessings to all those who have donated. First day results are producing high-fives across the weblines, and I'm as rosy as ever about waking up and writing. I'm keeping it at "unlimited" for the sake of tact and sky-high optimism. I will, however, reveal that we're developing some kind of insider-ish content prize, most likely a regular dose of Silverbird's arm-mushing statistical universe. So today, the internet is abuzz over Daniel Artest . I get it: he's an Artest, he weighs 300 lbs. and can dunk from far back, and is trying to bull his way into the professional ranks with little or no right to be there. That, my friends, is what we in the weeping business call a real American folk hero. Someone who lunges into the league on the wings of improbable narrative, who captures our fancy with a healthy dose of cartoon iconography. The best-case scenario for them is usuall ...

... The DC Sports Bog has the skinny on Ron Artest's massive (some say 300 pounds) brother Daniel, who is on Sacramento's summer league team. Most think that Daniel is only there as a favor to Ron, but the larger Artest counters that if Ron has so much influence, would Daniel really be sitting all game every game? ...

Does Summer League Mean Anything?

... There's definitely some hyperbole at work there but they have looked good. Nichols, in particular, has been an eye-opener but before we start planning a tickertape parade remember who they are playing against. The Sonics won't be very good no matter who is on the court for them this season but the players are likely to be better than Kenny Adeleke, Ronnie Burrell and Antwayne Robinson. That's the problem with analyzing summer league performances. For every Belinelli or Durant there's a Daniel Artest or ...

... . The size of the baby - around 4ft 3in tall and weighing 110lb - suggests she was between six months old and a year when she died. There are no clues about the cause of death, although there were signs she had been involved in a skirmish with a predator or another mammoth. The mammoth had no defects, except that its tail was bitten off, said Alexi Tikhonov, of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, who helped carry out a preliminary examination of the creature. In terms of its state of preservation, this is the world s most valuable discovery. You know what else is this world s most valuable discovery? You mom. BURN! Okay, that was fucking stupid.

... being invited? How must Maurice Evans feel being the third wheel in this triumphant trio? I imagine it to be similar to being forced to hang around with the Three Stooges, but if they had a penchant for randomly attacking you with fists instead of two slow-moving fingers to the eye. Perhaps even worse, what if Ron Artest becomes the leader for a generation of Kenyans? What then? A tribe of "Tru Wariers" is not one I'd necessarily want existing in any sense. Forget Daniel Artest, Kenya might be a real problem for David Stern in a couple years. On the plus side, those kids can probably run away if need be. For days. ...

... Following: Strong/unclear. This was a subject of internal WRG debate. When Steinberg writes about DC-area newsmakers--Gilbert Arenas, SportsTalk 980, Eastern Motors commercials--he'll draw dozens of comments. But so many of posts are too esoteric to connect with the average reader; last month, for example, a series of posts on the Rugby World Cup each drew just a handful of comments. What distinguishes Steinberg's following is how universally he's loved--"Dan Steinberg Does God's Work" wrote in one commenter--plus his scope (as a co-host of the televised blog show and frequent name-check on other blog sites). Steinberg's situation reminds us of the Arrested Development phenomenon--a TV show so smart, not everyone got the joke; it was bound to be a niche. But for our money, of any of the newspaper blogs we looked at in the Atlantic, the Bog was head and shoulders the best; Steinberg ...

THIS EXPLAINS A LOT
Published 9/27/2007 by BP at I *Heart* Celtics
... Now, brothers of famous athletes are almost always a little "off". For example, there was Stephon Marbury's crooked-shooting brother that led the potent attack of the Rhode Island Rams for a couple years. Then, there was the slightly more pear-shaped Collins twin with the slightly more pronounced horse face and overbite. Then, there's my personal favorite- the fatter, funnier, more lovable, less disciplined, more articulate yet amazingly less self-aware Artest brother. However, none of those brothers of famous players came so completely out of nowhere to commit something so clearly insane. I mean, this jerkoff was threatening JJ's ex-girlfriend, she took it to the cops, and he CALLED AND THREATENED HER WHILE SHE WAS WITH THE POLICE! I, for one, never knew JJ had a brother. Now, we'll all know him not as JJ Redick's less talented brother, but as JJ Redick's incompetent little cell phone hitman t ...
