In a very quiet move outside of New York, the Knicks acquired Patrick Ewing Jr. from the Houston Rockets in exchange for the draft rights for Frederic Weis.  This trade is hilarious/awesome/strange on so many levels.

Knicks fans may finally be able to rejoice and get closure on the infamous 1999 Draft seletion of Weis over local hero and St. John’s baller, Ron Artest.  Obviously, Weis - yes, the man Vince Carter dunked on by literally jumping over his entire body - isn’t going to come over from France anytime soon to play for the Rockets - but how hysterical is it now that both Artest and Weis are on the same roster - in Houston, of all places.

UWIRE introduced the top players to check out at the 2008 College World Series, and I was surprised by one name not incuded on the list.

UWIRE’s list had all the generic favorites: Buster Posey, Alex White, Gordon Beckham. But surprisingly, the list does not contain Seattle Mariner’s top pick of the 2008 draft, Georgia closer Josh Fields. I saw him pitch for the first time on Saturday night closing out the game against #1 Miami.

Fields was lights out, blending his 97 MPH fastball with an utterly devistating Josh Beckett-esque curveball. I have seen many college pictchers in my day and I’ll agree with Baseball America when they ranked Fields ranked as the college pitcher closest to the major leagues.

Onslaught Of Floodwater Shuts Down U. Iowa Campus

Only the tops of parking meters are visible in the muck. The sandbag wall, which volunteers spent countless days erecting, has been breached in many places. A fine layer of water on the ground floor of Mayflower has developed.

The North Dubuque Street residence hall is taking on water. A walkway extends from the Cliff Apartments directly north of the dorm over the flooded parking lots to Mayflower’s side door.

On central campus, notices taped to the doors of the Adler Journalism Building and the Becker Communications Studies Building warned people to stay out or face trespassing charges.

(Thanks for the clarification Seattle! Unfortunately, I was genetically disposed to KNOW that was wrong - West Virginia thanks you for the heads up though!)

So…I am chillin’ at my parents’ house, being the lazy fat-ass that I am. Sitting by the pool drinking coffee, trying to forget that in less than a month I have to go back to year 3 of a wonderful SUNY education. (NY State College if you are not in the know)

Literally, coffee and food in mouth - I read the following headline from a Seattle newspaper: “Employee accused of sex with goat” In short, this pervert, Arthur Lawton, was banging a goat at the Eatonville’s Pioneer Farm Museum in Pierce County, where he worked, and a tour came by and saw him. OH…but wait…there is more…

This county has a locally enforcable LAW preventing beastiality because it is a growing epidemic in the city of Eatonville. Within the last year you ask? Here you go:
