If the only people you’re following on Twitter are people you know, then you’re probably doing it wrong. Sure, it’s good to keep tabs on what your friends are up to, but is it really all that interesting? It’s high time you started following some people who actually are actually doing something interesting – like professional athletes! From Michael Phelps to Shaun White, we’ve got you covered with 10 Pro Athletes Who Twitter. (more…)

The Olympic Games are just that, games–they can’t stop world hunger, find a cure for AIDS or put an end to war. But for a couple weeks they can make things seem a little brighter. This isn’t a new idea, it’s been reported on in the past and I’m sure it’ll be reported on in the future, but that doesn’t make it a tired topic.

Iraq has seen war, and little else, for the past six years. But come August 8, two Iraqi athletes may be just what the country needs to find a release from the hardships it faces.

Iraq is lucky to have any athletes competing in these summer games at all; in June the country’s national Olympic committee was suspended by the International Olympic Committee for what it called “political interference” by the Iraqi government. And with deadlines for the submission of athlete names for competition looming it seemed likely that no Iraqi athletes would be able to beat it. (more…)

On the 205th said it best:

“Rather than doing something silly like playing in the Euro 2008 tournament, which begins tomorrow, for which his England team failed to qualify, Peter Crouch is in the Caribbean with his turbo-hot girlfriend Abbey Clancy. Some people cope with negative things by using drugs and alcohol, Peter does it by looking at his hot WAG’s ass. Ah, the life of a professional athlete…”

Ok, so we’re all hating on the dude because he makes lots of money, gets hot chicks and is actually good at something. But that’s as good a reason to hate as any, so move aside while we stare at your girlfriend, loser.

Blasphemy: Tebow Isn’t UF’s Most Dominant Athlete

What would you say if I told you Tim Tebow is only the second most dominant athlete at the University of Florida?

Would you cry blasphemy?

Probably, but that’s only because you likely haven’t seen the best UF has to offer.

The right arm of softball ace Stacey Nelson has led the Gators to the best record in school history (65-3) and is largely responsible for making UF the favorite to win the national title.

She does not have the same media attention or buzz as the golden boy Mr. Tebow, but when it comes to her sport she is by far the best in the business. [Independent Florida Alligator]

The Music Industry Threatening to Sue Over Music File Sharing at the University of Utah.

It may be too late to apologize at the U of U. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has notified the U that 12 people there illegally shared music files using the U’s Internet service.

The industry has asked university officials to forward notices of copyright infringement to those 12 students or employees. The RIAA says it will sue if they don’t respond. [KSL]
