Spotted by SbB reader Juan last week tooling around Los Angeles:

We actually were planning on getting a custom plate for our rig this year, and sadly it looks like our first choice was intercepted.
Now in all seriousness, who, besides Matt Leinart, would get that plate? Well, there’s only one person we can think of.

So in the past ten days, we’ve spent time in San Antonio, Los Angeles and Kansas City. And we’ve also had the pleasure of spending the night at the Austin and Charlotte airports, for which we’d like to personally salute American Airlines and US Airways.

Now, that’s not to say we’re not having a delightful time […]

Beijing’s city government has solved one of the fears for the Summer Olympics in August: pollution has been banned in the weeks before and during the Games. Environmental action by temporary edict: Al Gore will be so proud.

Concrete pouring, excavation, and other smog-inducing activities will cease for a month before the athletes formally arrive. […]

Those of you longtime L.A. *sports* observers know that traditionally the USC Song Girls are much hotter than the UCLA cheerleaders. But if the photos (from WIZARD OF ODDS) from a recent USC charity fundraiser are any indication, we’d say the lovely ladies from Westwood have caught up rather rapidly.

The Song Girls stripped down to […]

Chris Bosh has a simple request to Toronto basketball fans: Get rowdy!

And the Raptors forward is once again using YouTube to spread wide his message to the masses. Last time, Bosh humorously pleaded with NBA fans to vote him to New Orleans for the All-Star Game. But now he has a new favor to ask, […]

Welcome to tonight’s exciting NASCAR action!
Such a scene was seen by by viewers on Fox […]

We’re stuck in the Charlotte airport after missing our connection to Miami last night, so we’re doing all we can to amuse ourselves this morning. Here’s Tiger Woods trying to help, call himself a “dumbass” at The Masters (via FAN IQ):

We know how he feels, after entrusting US Airways and American Airlines to our airport […]

FAN IQ’s 100% INJURY RATE serves up news that’s sure to tantalize tennis fans everywhere - Ana Ivanovic is now being offered in lickable form.

• The FLORIDA TIMES-UNION serves up news that Maria Sharapova is back in championship form, as she wins her first-ever title on clay.

And Maria’s prize - a lovely crystal 7-11 Big Gulp cup, good for one free refill.
• Speaking of a dirtier kind of Clay - with the Sonics having possibly played their last game […]

Clay Buchholz leads a charmed life. When the Red Sox pitcher’s not palling around (and then some) with Penthouse Pets, he’s throwing back some brews with Chris Berman.

The BOSTON HERALD’s TRACKED DOWN spotted Buchholz, Boomer and Patriots linebacker Eric Alexander “hoisting a few at The Greatest Bar“.

(Clay ditched *this* for beers with Berman?)
Seems like […]
