our wacky legal system
so i\’m doing my normal morning cruise through the online dailies from the local fish-wrap factories, and come across a story about koren robinson entering a plea in his police chase case. (more background here.) did he plead guilty? did he plead not guilty? neither. he pled alford. no, not that alford. this one. in…

Talkin\’ Baseball
It\’s no secret that we here at SP are baseball nuts, first and foremost. It wouldn\’t surpriise me if Wade has at leat thought about starting up his fantasy baseball spreadsheet already.

decent football this weekend. i mean, from the bits and pieces i caught, the games seemed good. close. the new orleans cinderella story keeps rolling. grossman makes it count when he needs to. indy\’s defense continues to play out of its mind. and (shocking)– schottenheimer\’s chargers lose to a team they were supposed to beat.…

It\’s an inside joke…
