Congratulations Barry Bonds

Bonds just made history by hitting his 756th home run, surpassing Hank Aarons' career record. Despite the whole steroid scandal, I thought it was worth saluting, so I scanned a copy of his rookie baseball card.

WTG Barry, you've come a long way.

Crap

X Games 13 - Jake Brown


"Brown had pulled off an improbable 720 over the mega ramp's 70-foot gap on Thursday night, but plunged about 40 feet to the ramp's base during his second trick. The impact knocked off his shoes.
He was released from the hospital earlier Saturday after being treated for a broken wrist and a fractured vertebra, his manager said."

I've had the pleasure of seeing this bowling trick pulled off in person, but seeing it live and seeing it on ESPN still aren't as cool as this video.

Scented Bowling Ball


I purchased a new bowling ball last week, and was surprised when I picked it up to find that it smells like black cherry.
So now I have a high-performance 16-pound Gobstopper.
I'm glad I got the color I did; I'm not a big fan of wintergreen.
