Bill Walsh was not only a great football mind, he was a hero. Why was he a great coach? Because he coached a great team with great players, and won three Superbowls during his tenure. Why was he a hero? Because he never coached the Dallas Cowboys (your legacy will suck, Bill Parcells. You’re tainted.)
Many critics will tell you that their grandmother could have won Superbowls with Joe Montana at the helm and Jerry Rice on the team, but it’s more than that. Good players become great players because of their coaches, not because of their endorsement deals. Read more... (213 words, 1 image, estimated 51 secs reading time)

TMZ.com, thanks for recognizing our little world of twisted, demented freaks like myself who can’t get enough of celebrities dying!
With all the “news” some of these people get, this site has been my little slap in the face to celebritydom and what some of these people represent. People like Paris, Lindsay, and Britney, don’t deserve the limelight the people that follow them give them. Isn’t the fact that Anna Nicole’s death and subsequent circus-like atmosphere that followed proof enough that America is full of fools? People would rather know what party Paris went to last night than real news that affects millions of people instead of the life of a shallow few. Well, we’re here to wait for their pending demise, and then celebrate our rewarded points! Read more... (129 words, 1 image, estimated 31 secs reading time)

Only one score on this guy — Tommy from the Mini GP 07 jumps from second place to first.

Look at this little innocent girl.
It’s hard to believe that this chick is on a crash course for scoring some people points in this year’s Ghoulpool (and the Mini GP 07). She is a disaster waiting to happen, and I think it’s a case of “when” and not “if.”
On the lighter side of things, we have now seen her breasts, her uncovered crotch, and been a voyeur of her personal demons.
I remember when Lindsay was curvy and sexy, and had some meat on her bones. Read more... (572 words, 1 image, estimated 2:17 mins reading time)

In what may have been the longest awaited death in the game this year, with apologies to Fidel Castro and Ariel Sharon, Tammy Faye Baker Smith Jones Johnson White Messner, finally passed and awarded points to her faithful followers.
Tammy Faye died on Friday at the age of 65 after a 3 year battle with cancer. True to her colors, she appeared on Larry King Live in full make-up regatta on Wednesday to say goodbye to her many Mary Kay representatives, and the few fans that were left.

I happen to be in Denver today on business, and saw this news flash across my RSS screen:
“Man with gun killed in Governor’s office.”
OK, cool. That sounds like a story worth reading. You have all your integral parts to an interesting story: a gun-weilding attacker, a nutjob, guards not afraid to shoot, an inane sentence shouted out, and finally a score of Good Guys – 1; Bad Guys – 0. That has a lot of good moving parts. The fact that I’m somewhat nearby and drawn in by the local angle makes it even better. Read more... (536 words, 1 image, estimated 2:09 mins reading time)

I am a GPS junkie. I bought a Garmin about a year ago because I spend a decent amount of time driving around different cities thanks to my job. I use my Garmin almost everywhere I go, even within the St. Louis area if I don’t know specifically where I am going. And I love that I can touch a button to find a restaurant or a gas station where ever I am. But one thing I found very cool was all the available Points of Interest (POI) lists that are available on the Internet. I even created one of my own that shows me where all the Hooter’s restaurants are all over the country. Read more... (354 words, estimated 1:25 mins reading time)

A rare ghost orchid has been spotted growing about 45 feet off the ground in a tree at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary in Naples. You have to wonder if it will be able to tell anyone about who killed the real orchid, and if this ghost orchid has the ability to talk to the other dead orchids.
Seriously.. researchers have been looking for this flower for years, and two random people looking for owls spotted it. That sounds remarkable, because I know what an owl looks like, but I wouldn’t know a ghost orchid if it slapped me in the nuts. Apparently, they are quite beautiful and magnificent to look at. I seriously want to know how they turned into a ghost. And, if two random people noticed it, does that mean that we can see other “ghost” items? Read more...

Australian radio ‘shock jock’ and television personality Stan Zemanek has died in Sydney at the age of 60 after a battle with cancer.
And the hits just keep falling. The son rises, the moon changes the tides, and Scott A gets more damned points.
Next year, we’re assessing Scott a -300 point handicap to make this more interesting.
In a 35-year career, Zemanek presented late night radio on Sydney radio station 2UE, which was networked to 33 stations across Australia, and also worked at 2GB and 3AW.
He often boasted that he was the most-complained about broadcaster in the country. Read more... (191 words, 1 image, estimated 46 secs reading time)
