Speed Walkers Need Steroids Too

if you thought the only people turning to steroids inasmuch as an advantage these days were barry bonds, roger clemens, and espn nfl analyst john clayton (pictured), you’d be wrong.just before the beijing games began it was reported that three russian speed walkers had tested total for a banned possessions. which of ambit begs the question: there’s more than anyone person competing notwithstanding a spot on a country’s bowl along walking together?the belfast telegraph (yes that belfast telegraph) reported the alibi but is in point of fact not a russian newspaper. they’re located in northern ireland and are likely trying to build strength for their own gold medal caliber irish speed walking line-up by exposing the cheating, scandalous russian squad. the three russians walkers also tested positive for large-hearted amounts of vodka, although it should be famous that it is not a banned substance.olympic go like a shot walkers have always been looking to increase the velocity of their steps, just as sustained it’s not too much quicker. steroid-abusing walkers could be blurring the limit between speed walking and slightly slower running. and after all, anyone can run but walking as fast as possible is an art form as masterpiece as accelerated eye blinking.it’s a sad day for athletic competition when the most honorable of sports has fallen weigh on to the evil steroid empire. it seems that no sport is untouchable from being tainted. curling, we’re watching you.caution of the hat for this story goes to the blog “fighting the man eight days a week,” who specializes on the whole in exposing russian injustices enveloping the world. and male fight game occurring over an impossibly long period of patch.

The Worst Local News Report About Pubic Hair Dye EVER

The Worst Local News Report About Pubic Hair Dye EVER

Between Vodka Tampons, The ‘Beave Commercial, and this, it’s really becoming Vaginagum this week, but this local news report about a salon that uses that Betty dye to dye women’s hair “down there” was funny for too many reasons not to share:

Barnacle

Reason 1: “Some women are dying it red and green for the holidays.” Who? Why? Gross! That sounds like the pubic hair equivalent of a cakewreck. Specifically, this cakewreck (but with red.)

Reason 2: “We hear men love it in the shape of a heart.” If they can provide one man who will admit on camera to loving it in the shape of a heart, well, they’re going to have to pay an appearance fee, because the only man who would ever say that is the Peter Pan guy.

Reason 3: THE GRUNTING! It starts at 1:08. And then it builds. And then they use the same grunt from 1:08 over again? Like a sound effect? And then it’s just grunting and moaning all over the place until it finally, mercifully, ends? I think this TV station needs to be fined by the FCC. (Thanks, Sachar!)

Week 2 Fantasy QB Stats

favreweek2.jpg

Best Week 2 QB Fantasy start? Belongs to Kurt Warner naturally.

Accumulates 150+ yards early on without any incompletions thanks to two long plays to Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald. Warner finishes with 361 yards on only 24 pass attempts and 3 TDs. All to Anquan Boldin who puts up an astounding 6 catches 140 yards 3 TD’s while Fitzgerald matches him with 6 catches 153 yards.

Warner could have put up sick numbers but the Cardinals called off the dogs late in the game as the lead got to 31-3. Hard to believe this type of success will continue at this pace for Warner and friends, but you could spot this fine matchup a mile away. Even with new coaching / personnel, this is still the same Miami team that got lit up by the Patriots and everyone else last year defensively.

Warner will still be producing throughout the year, but has a tough stretch coming up at Washington, at NY Jets, Buffalo and Dallas.

Drew Brees meanwhile lays an egg in Washington, with a decent game (216 yards 66% completion) but only 1 TD and 2 interceptions. The Saints offense lacked explosion down the field and had a non existent running game. Part of this was a nice defensive effort by the Redskins at home in a must-win situation. Colston’s return is still a ways away and it remains to be seen how his departure will affect this passing offense long term, but they should find success the next few weeks. Brees is at Denver, San Francisco, Minnesota and Oakland next. All solid match-ups especially a Denver defense ripe from a Philip Rivers torching.

Peyton Manning bounces back after a terrible week 1 and an even worse start to week 2. You could see the tide in this game turn as the Vikings failed to convert touchdowns and Manning began to get some flow with Anthony Gonzalez and Reggie Wayne. Fantasy owners missed a long lateral TD from Manning to Gonzalez to Wayne and Joe Addai stole that TD. However, Manning threw for a TD to Reggie Wayne along with 300 yards and 60%+ passing. Manning is back on track and you knew it would happen against a porous pass defense in the VIkings.

How about that Aaron Rodgers? Clearly Detroit is a giving defense, already letting Michael Turner scorch them for 3 TD’s and 200 yards. The Packers however just passed their way down the Lions throat with 328 yards and 3 TD’s from Rodgers. If you had Rodgers you likely started him at Detroit unless you had someone significantly better. With all the hoopla about Favre leaving, it’s easy to forget the Packers have a decent supporting cast on offense and defense. This aids Rodgers but still be wary; he doesn’t play the Lions every game of the season. Next week at home against NFC powerhouse Dallas should tell us a lot about Mr. Rodgers.

Also in that game, did we not call Jon Kitna’s line perfectly in the pre-week 2 QB analysis? It definitely was ugly, but Kitna definitely put some numbers up. All the turnovers ruin the pretty numbers, but it’s clear that with Calvin Johnson, Jon Kitna has a budding superstar to get the ball to and Kitna will be passing a lot with the Lions down in games due to their crappy defense. 276 yards 51% 5 sacks 2 TD’s 3 picks…that’s about right.

David Garrard owners are grumbling, but it is hard to have any pity for them. Garrard was a clock management type QB the year before, which looked nice when he came out of no where as a backup to seize the starter’s job. Now that he’s the full time starter though he lack of production in the passing game becomes much more glaring for the Jaguars, who are in must-win mode now. 165 yards 0 TD’s 1 interception 60% for Garrard in today’s game against Buffalo. Sure he has played two defenses, but does this passing offense scare anyone? Reggie Williams 10 TD’s were clearly a fluke last year and he’ll be lucky to get half of that. Tennessee and Buffalo are not pushovers defensively so there will be better games ahead for Garrard, but owners who drafted him as their starting QB in a 10-14 team league are going to need to start looking at the wire to play match-ups. At Indy and Houston at home are next, so Garrard should at least be a mediocre start.

Derek Anderson and Carson Palmer are going to shoot down my lists for a while. They too have been relegated to match-up duty. Anderson I could see this coming for, considering he really only had a few games last year where he produced and fell off tremendously at the end of the year. The Browns too have had a tough slate with Dallas and Pittsburgh, but the offense has looked anemic. At least we can assume they are solid plays when they go against each other in Week 4.
