Yo mama's so ugly the last time she heard a whistle was when she got hit by a trainWhy do athletes take steroids? Because they work. But admitting it doesn’t work - at least not with the World Anti-Doping Agency and especially in the european-regulated endeavors such as Cycling and Track and Field. But unlike disgraced Tour de France winner Floyd Landis who failed a test, 5-time Medal Winning Track and Field athlete Marion Jones passed everything cleanly and defended her clean record in the face of overwhelming circumstantial evidence. Until now.
For years, Marion Jones angrily denied she was a drug cheat, swearing she was clean and daring anyone to prove otherwise. Seven years after her triumphs at the 2000 Olympics, the three-time gold medalist has admitted in a recent letter to family and close friends that she used steroids before the Sydney Games, The Washington Post reported Thursday.
She’s scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court in White Plains, N.Y., on Friday to plead guilty to charges in connection with her steroid use, a federal law enforcement source told The Associated Press. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing, and would not provide specific details about the plea.
As Pete Rose and Michael Vick found out, you can deny all you want to in the press, but when the feds come calling it’s time to sing, or you’ll be wearing the orange jumpsuit and cleaning highways for a long time. Kudos to Marion’s new-found moral core.

Yo mama's so fat she broke her leg and gravy dripped outI was surprised to see Versus (Vs) pick up delayed feeds of the Rugby World Cup. Rugby was a staple on the old Fox Sports World channel - they used to show Super 12 and RWC03 matches at 4 in the morning. They even had a guy (Brownie?) who did the Rugby Report segment on the Fox Sports World Report every Wednesday. Anyways - seems everyone’s anticipated finalists New Zealand and Australia lost (AGAIN) to their European competition - France and England respectively.
Honestly? I didn’t expect Australia to win the World Cup… it would’ve been nice if they did, but it would have been a ’steal’. I expected to maybe get to the semi-finals. Hair Bear ChabalI have many a Kiwi friend who for the past 13 hours have been pictures of pure despondency. New Zealand went into this world cup with an expectancy I’ve not seen before. A feeling of ‘destiny’. Pretty much every New Zealander I know wasn’t talking about the quarters or semis, they only discussed the final, and it was spoken in terms of ‘when’, not ‘if’. To then lose to France 20-18 will be absolutely gut-wrenching.
England’s rugby program(me) was in turmoil just a few months earlier after losing some embarrassing test matches at Twickenham, sacking their coach, and reporting on the general poor state of English Rugby from grass roots to the national team - saying England’s 03 title was the worst thing ever because it allowed the unaddressed problems to go unnoticed. Apparently it ain’t all that bad. Or maybe Johnny Wilkinson is another Chuck Norris:
Johnny Wilkinson does not sleep. He waits.
The chief export of Johnny Wilkinson is Pain.
Johnny Wilkinson doesn’t read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants.
When Johnny Wilkinson does a pushup, he isn’t lifting himself up, he’s pushing the Earth down.
Johnny Wilkinson’s hand is the only hand that can beat a Royal Flush.
Johnny Wilkinson can lead a horse to water AND make it drink.
Johnny Wilkinson doesn’t wear a watch, HE decides what time it is.
Johnny Wilkinson can slam a revolving door.
Johnny Wilkinson does not get frostbite. Johnny Wilkinson bites frost!
