Because he is not making any attempt to hide them, and you clearly see him say the word "dive", and so you stuff up the middle with linebackers, and tackle the running back for a loss of yardage? I don't think many of us would say that it is. So is it cheating if the runner on 2nd base can see the catcher's signs, knows what pitch is coming, and relays this info to the hitter? I don't see how these two situations are different. It is a team's responsibility to hide its communication on the field. And unless some type of technology is being used (telescope, microphone, etc), then in my opinion, all's fair. It's only a friggin game, after all.

By the way, I thought Frankie Rodriguez's strength is in his fastball, which he throws so hard that you'd think his arm will fall off. It doesn't really move that much.

But seriously, kids, let this be a lesson to you: DON'T SMOKE! You might only live to the age of 84.

Brilliant and worthwhile mashups of copyrighted works seem to survive. Just witness the Gray Album, which combined the Beatles and Jay-Z. The simple guitar riff of "Mother Nature's Son" mixed with Jay-Z's lyrics in "December 4th" is phenomenal - and really, who would have ever thought of that? Every jerkoff in the world has done the Bob Dylan voice at some point or another, and the Dr. Seuss parody was already done much better by Saturday Night Live when they had Jesse Jackson read "Green Eggs and Ham". Copyright is copyright. If you're going to try to violate it, at least come up with a a better idea. Then, your work will live forever. This Dylan/Seuss crap will be forgotten by the 4th of July.

Not that it really matters, but I suppose we should be correct in referencing the work. And you're missing out if you haven't heard it. But I respect your stance.

But this is one of the best, funniest and most infuriating things I've read in Salon. You put all the full-timers over there to shame. Thanks.

You took a horrible tragedy, the murder of dozens of innocent children and adults, and used it to make a lazy political jab at the President. Like him or hate him (who could possibly love him), is it really fair to throw this in Bush's lap also? Jesus, you people are insane.

We can only wish that if your fantasy came true, the first thing you would do is put both of them to your head and pull the triggers. Then there would be one less fanboy in the world. Jesus Christ, man, take a break for a little while and get some fresh air.

He said all bullets should cost $5000 each. If bullets cost that much, "no more innocent bystanders!".

I guess you had to be there. But it was funny.

And it looks like just another blog from just another Internet nerd with way too much time on his hands. He makes a few valid points, and talks about a bunch of stuff that nobody else really cares about, but unless I missed the hidden "kill whitey so the asian man can take his place as master of the universe" message, it looks pretty tame. Another stupid website to ignore, in other words.

Small-town boy or girl (from somewhere like Binghamton, Scranton, Toledo, etc) follows his or her dreams to the BIG CITY of New York. He or she scrapes to survive, does things they are not proud of, gets an apartment, settles in, and makes a home for themselves. Approximately 3 years later, he or she is magically transformed into a no-nonsense, rough-and-tumble Gothamite who scoffs at the idea that you can't get Chinese food at 4am in the pisant little burg where you and I live. Anywhere other than New York might as well be Salina, Kansas. This same person, who a few years ago was wearing acid-washed jeans and listening to Tesla at the boarded up drive-in theater, is now Woody-Frickin-Allen.

The Metamorphosis is so cute. Cute little new-New Yorker! Go on! Condescend the Midwest! Awwwwww. So Cute.

Don't worry, all of you have convinced all of us that you can be a great Assistant to the Regional Director of Quality Assurance and STILL have the rockinest taste in music on the entire 4th floor of your office building! We're all very impressed.

From sites that revolve around thin teenage boys. In pop-ups, your computer is just trying to give you more of what you have previously indicated that you want!

I kid, I kid....

"your sweet bippy" - that is priceless.

I was at Kansas during Roy's tenure there and I can say first hand that you will not find a nicer, more caring, more genuine person than Roy Williams in college or pro sports.

And, yes, King, sorry but that is all I took from your column. I couldn't care less about the NBA playoffs if I tried. Not that anyone cares about my likes & dislikes, but I'm just saying.

If that's your thing...just be sure to bring lots of money, and a fake ID in case you get caught. You don't want to end up in a Thai prison. Or then again, based on your apparent sexual preferences, maybe you do.

I don't eat anything that casts a shadow.
