Wishbone #8: Monica Lewinksy, Revisited?

Follow Casey Thompson, star quarterback for the Los Angeles Condors, as he struggles to come out of the closet and win - both on and off the field of play.

Sunday, September 21, California Condors vs. Dallas Cowboys, Dallas, TX

1st Quarter:  On the opening set of downs, Tommy Tidwell, Casey Thompson’s backup is sacked simultaneously from two directions, leaving him with a concussion and a broken collar bone on his throwing arm.  In comes Casey Thompson:  Eight plays later, the Condors have a 7-0 lead over the Cowboys.

2nd Quarter: The Condors’ nickel back intercepts in the end zone, and Casey Thompson, on the first play of the set of downs, hits his friend Petrius Jackson on a post that turns out to go for 80 yards and a touchdown.

3rd Quarter: Casey throws two more TDs, including a bootleg back across his body to the opposite corner of the end zone to, again, Petrius Jackson.

Final Score:  28-0, Condors over the Cowboys

Swimming: Sports Illustrated Pulls Shocker, Honors Michael Phelps as 2008 Sportsman of the Year

He was voted one of GQ's Men of the Year and faced a swim-off with a certain silver-haired fox. Now, Michael Phelps has grabbed one of sports most coveted honors as the record-setting Olympian was chosen Sports Illustrated's 2008 Sportsman of the Year.

I guess he has more reason to continue his recent partying ways now...

Teaching Gay Boys To Surf

Incredibly hot, gay Australians slide into tiny swimsuits and attend surfing 'school' on a beach, taught by an even hotter "professor".  Australian website Samesame.com just launched "Surf Camp", an online reality TV show where you determine who wins each week.   Take a look at the first clip and then go cast your vote for this weeks pick! 

After Dancing with the Stars and Project Runway ended, I was needing a reality show fix and this is, by far, the best I've seen!   I'll keep you posted on additional clips and the surfers who get voted off! 

College Football: Week Fifteen Picks

This is it, we have reached the final week of the 2008 college football regular season. As always, there is talk of how messed up the BCS system is and how a playoff system would correct the mess with a true national championship. Nevertheless, my condolences to the Texas Longhorn faithful, it's a crime!

The final BCS standings and bowl game announcements will be televised on Sunday. I will be back with Final Standings and a Bowl Game Pick Em' blog in the next few weeks.

Join me in predicting who will win the featured games by posting your list of winners in the comments section of this blog.  See if you can be a college football expert in predicting the winning teams. Good luck! Thanks to all those who participated this season!

(Overall standings and my predictions for this week are in BOLD after the jump!

Bowl Season: Games We’d Like to See!

With all the anticipation over which teams will and will not go to which BCS Bowl games, who will play who, who is getting shafted and who ain’t, here are some all-too-overlooked Bowl games that should be considered:

A Mockumentary: Leaf Blows into Town

Just when we thought we'd seen it all in San Diego, a filmmaker is showing a screening of his movie Leaf for free to all interested San Diegans on Wednesday, depicting the sorry tale of former NFL quarterback and San Diego's #1 draft choice in 1998, Ryan Leaf.  Like we need a reminder of just how much the Chargers sucked (and still do).

WNBA: No More Houston Comets

WNBA President Donna Orender announced today that the Houston Comets - arguably the most successful franchise in the league's 12-year history - will disband this offseason after not being able to find an owner. The league took over the franchise earlier this year from Houston businessman Hilton Koch.

Worst Sports Towns: San Diego Gunning For Seattle

Seattle is clearly the worst sports town in America right now, after all they've gone through. The events of the last twelve months have made America's Finest City a laughing stock. However, with the offical demise of the Chargers, San Diego can set its sights on overtaking The Emerald City for the dubious honor.

College Football: BCS Rankings (11-30-08)

Well, Oklahoma is ahead of Texas in the latest BCS standings and headed to the Big 12 Championship game with an inside track to the national title. This is amazing since the Sooners lost to Texas earlier in the season. Oklahoma barely edged out the Longhorns with a .9351 BCS average. Texas’ BCS average is .9223. The Big 12 conference was forced to use its fifth tiebreaker rule (BCS standings) to determine which team will play Missouri on Saturday in Kansas City. Here is the seventh BCS poll:

BCS TOP 10 (as of 11-30-2008):

1.  Alabama          6.  Utah

2.  Oklahoma        7.  Texas Tech

3.  Texas              8.  Penn State

4.  Florida           9.  Boise State            

5.  USC                10. Ohio State

Plaxico Burress: Living Proof of Karma

Talk about ironic.  After totaling 30 different disciplinary fines over the years from both the Steelers (where he used to play) and the Giants (where he currently plays), after suspension upon suspension, Plaxico Burress has now shot himself in the leg.  It might as well have been the foot.
