Well this should be an interesting TMA. My internet service is currently less reliable than a satellite dish in a hurricane, and all we got were a couple thunderstorms. That being the case I will try to battle through it, not for myself, but for you the readers; because I know your day just wouldn’t start off right without an array of random links.

It’s Friday, it’s been an uneventful week, another one down, another week without an internship; the one thing keeping me from a diploma. Would including Sparty & Friends on my resume possibly increase my luck? Probably not, no one likes bloggers except maybe bloggers. Anyways, enough of my self pity, hopefully everyone has big plans for the weekend. I’ll be spending my Saturday at the U of M’s new stadium watching this year’s Big Ten Champs runner ups middle of the pack, Golden Gophers scrimmage. If anyone is interested pictures may be an option.

Now it’s on the main event, the LINKS!

This better be one valuable item, especially given the time and effort to try and recover it like an Adrian Peterson fumble.

I’m with Miz on this one, I had no idea that JCPenny’s could actually possess $1 million worth of merchandise in their store at one time.

Here’s your world track and field news, as if anyone really cares when it isn’t during the olympics, as if anyone really even cares then. Usain Bolt sets another world record, could he becoming to an NFL field near you? In women’s(?) news, the family of the South African runner suspected of being a dood stands by their daughter(?). If anyone should know I would think it would be her family. Is it fair for South African officials to make this an issue of race? Personally I don’t think it’s an issue of race, but rather her linebacker like physique and a voice that’s probably deeper than mine.

What’s with the recent rash of athletes hitting cabbies? First hockey players smacking a driver for a few pennies, now football players for apparently no reason at all?

Speaking of unexplainable actions, it’s good to see Kentucky fans get behind Calipari even with his 2008 season never happening, the reason he was hired by Kentucky in the first place. I remember going through a similar episode with the 1996 Gophers, no wait, I don’t, that never happened. Calipari is really going to need that support after taking the Wildcats to the Final Four this year, only to have it erased from the record books when it’s discovered Calipari has screwed over another school.

If you thought NHL games outdoors were already cool, just wait until this happens.

Here’s a shock, Brett Favre has the ability to make cheap tickets magically disappear. BTW if Darren Rovell reads this and needs an intern to make copies and coffee give me a call, I’m your guy.

A leading sports goods dealer won’t be stocking Vick jerseys. At least until they evaluate the reaction of Eagles fans, which is made all the easier by not having the item in stock to actually see how well it sells.

A late addition. Spencer will end up with a child named Terrelle if the Buckeyes win a National Title.

Well the little green light on my modem is blinking at me, must mean my times is up, or that one internet provider will not be getting their business from me for much longer. I leave everyone with some Letterman.
