If you don't check out sportspickle.com reguarly, I would highly recommend it. It is sports satire at it's finest. Here is a sample.


Michael Matz, Barbaro’s trainer, says all the support the horse has received has been much appreciated by the animal, but he’s not sure how much help – if any – they have been to the horse’s recovery.

“Barbaro has to focus his energies on getting healthy right now,” said Matz, “plus, uh, he can’t really read. You know, because he’s a horse. We showed him some of the cards, but he didn’t really seem to acknowledge them, other than blinking a few times and then having three gigantic lumps of crap fall out of his butt onto the floor of his stall. But I think that was just because of his medication, and not in any way to do with the cards. Who knows, though – maybe he’s a magical horse who can read and understands everything that is happening to him. Yeah, that’s probably it.”
