That is what I once used to wakeup to every single morning. Not because I was motivated to get money that day, but because I loved Pink Floyd and found that a lot better to wake to than this. I would still do it today if I could, but I think the wife wouldn’t take too kindly to it.

GITC Note: Yeah, I thought I should step in here and add the late night development of Ben Roethlisberger being charged with sexual assault. We know very little right now, but it’s out there. Here’s a Pittsburgh TV station, and the original PFT article.

The short details are that the woman, Andrea McNulty, worked at Harrah’s in Vegas and Big Ben allegedly asked her into his room on the pretense of needing help with his television before the alleged assault. Roethlisberger’s lawyers claim that the allegations are false and that the fact that no criminal charges or complaint were brought before (the incident supposedly took place a year ago) should indicate his innocence.

Not to make light of a serious subject, (actually I’m doing just that) but I just love this quote from the lawyer: “Ben has never sexually assaulted anyone; especially Andrea McNulty.” How do you especially not sexually assault somebody?

Should I have my lawyer put out a statement that says, “Guyinthecorner has never sexually assaulted anybody: especially the Pope.” or something? I’m confused.

Back to your regularly scheduled Sparty…

You can’t help but shake your head at the demands of some players in the NFL. Case in point: Leon Washington. He has never been an every down back, but yet wants elite running back money.

Mike Shanahan was paid $7 million to not speak ill about the Broncos. Pretty good deal, as the Broncos will do a fine job a looking like crap all on their own this year.

Best part of the article, “With the Lions’ defense still full of question marks throughout the depth chart, the offense needs to score a lot of points if Detroit hopes to win a few games.” There is only one player on the Lions offense that isn’t a question mark, and that is Calvin Johnson. How many games did they win last year with that being the case?

The jokes about this one should be really good. Eli Manning is a sandwich.

Did the Cavs know about Shaq’s new reality show? He is going to go up against athletes in their own sport. This has injury written all over it. Then again, it probably has already filmed, so whatever.

MLB needs to settle down. This is one of the few times that I will come to the aid of Barry, but the dude is a White Sox fan, who gives a crap over what jacket he wore at the All-Star game. I would be more concerned about how he throws like a girl.

I’m the place kicker for USF, and I am also a Busch Gardens employee. I am an idiot.

Get ready for a ton of articles that say, so-and-so is excited about ________. Tomorrow? Running backs.

Perfect example of it being about ‘not what you know, but who you know‘.

When does a blog cease being a blog?

Why should LeBron stay in Cleveland? Because that city will friggin die if he leaves. Literally. It is on life support as we speak.

Speaking people that will die in Cleveland, Spencer had a hissy fit after someone said golf wasn’t a sport.

Vlad over Ichiro in right? AYFKM?

This is the advice that Trey gives to all his clients when they are being chased down by the cops.

That’s it for today kids, I will see you Friday morning.
