Obligatory Sports Babe
This morning Uncoached brings us 10 of the Bustiest Female Athletes. I almost went with the Serena Williams picture they have, because she actually looks pretty good in it, but there's just something about Russian figure skater Anna Semenovich. Well, maybe two things.
Rick Rielly Twitter Account Suspended
Clearly the Rick Reilly Twitter feed was a parody-- they spelled his name wrong!-- but that didn't stop "the man" from bringing us all down by suspending the account. Turns out the mastermind was Drew Magary, of KSK, Deadspin, and whatever the hell else he does, with the help of Canadian icon, Gourmet Spud, and he's not very pleased with the outcome.

Someone went ahead and created a game called WWE Legends of WrestleMania, which lets you play with classic characters, and recreate classic matches, and looks like it might be a little fucking awesome.

"The Emerald Guide distills the 2008 season down to 586 fact-filled pages that contain the pitching, fielding, and hitting statistics for each player active in the major and minor leagues in 2008."
Davey Johnson
Somehow the Dutch moved on to the second round in the World Baseball Classic, but the honeymoon might be short, as their first match in the next round is against the USA-- which is funny, because USA manager Davey Johnson got back into managing when he was asked to be the manager of the Dutch team in 2003, when original manager Robert Eenhoorn bowed out because of his son's cancer. The New York Times fills in the details.
