A Juvenile Delinquent After My Own Heart!

When is a Rose not a rose?

When it’s Kevin Rose of Digg.com

If you get the chance, take a look at the crap Kevin Rose is throwing out there now. You would think Kevin gets aroused just thinking about his Recommendation Engine. It gives him an open-door policy to ban any and everything based on the “secret” recommendation engine and how it magically works. My theory is a little old lady in Detroit is a moderator for Digg and she basically deletes Digg users for fun on a Friday night.

I’ll be interested to see what effect if any, Kevin banning loyal diggers will do for him and his site over the next few weeks. I’ve heard of some cool ideas in the works, and I’m interested to find out what will come of it all.

This weekend could be the best weekend for college football

Does it get any better for watching college football this weekend? Some of the best games of the season happen in less that 24 hours. From Deadspin:

Texas v. Oklahoma (-6.5)- According to Texas fans Colt McCoy is the white Vince Young. Their stats are comparable but it’s yet to be determined whether their big game heroics and sanity are equally similar. Although rumor has it that Colt has been rolling into Austin bars shirtless and swilling Patron for months. Make of this what you will.

Meanwhile Sam Bradford of Oklahoma has already thrown 18 touchdown passes. Seriously, 18. Colt only has 16. Both men have thrown 3 picks. So their combined touchdown to interception ratio is 34-6. This would be more impressive if either team had played a legit top 25 opponent yet. But they haven’t.

Both the Texas and Oklahoma offenses average over 45 points a game while each is giving up less than two touchdowns. In a stroke of mathematical precision that has yet to be noted by anyone in either Texas or Oklahoma both teams average margin of victory is 35.8. So something has got to give. (Brent Musberger made himself a legend by intoning the previous cliche with the proper measure of respect.) Just be careful, this game is set for 12 eastern. Set the damn alarm.

Nebraska at Texas Tech (-20)- It’s even rarer I give gambling advice, but right now take all of the money that you’ve got left in stocks, cash out (go ahead and take your tax losses), and put it on Texas Tech to cover the 20 point line. Seriously, do it. Nebraska has the defense of a southern Theta at a Dave Matthews concert. Which is to say none. Back the truck up at the sports book. Do it now. Do it. (Not that you still subscribe to peer pressure anymore but if you don’t do this then I’m telling everyone that you slept with special sheets to keep your mattress from getting soaked when you still wet your bed at the age of 16.)

And did I mention our friends over at Football Jesus Las Vegas came up with some very funny signs at the

Jose Canseco Busted For guess what? Steroids, again

Is Jose Canseco ever going to learn?

“In a stunning turn of events that you could not possibly have seen coming, 40-40 man and all-around mensch Jose Canseco was recently detained at the U.S.-Mexico border for … do we even need say it? Yes, Jose will appear in federal court next week to answer charges of illegal steroid possession. But not just any steroid; this one is for your balls.”

“In males, [Human chorionic gonadotropin] mimics L H and helps restore and maintain testosterone production in the testes. As such, hCG is commonly used during and after steroid cycles to maintain and restore testicular size as well as endogenous testosterone production.”

other words, when you put the juice in you, it shrinks your nads. So you put this stuff in after it to re-embiggen them. Problem solved. Frankly, we think the government needs to end this crazy war on drugs that keep your nuts at their proper size. How many lives will it ruin before we learn our lesson?

And oh, by the way … Jose Canseco is sleazy drug cheat who will never ever change. Ever.
