Nah, the worst team (overall record wise) hasn't gotten the #1 pick in like 10 years or some shit. The teams with the 2nd through 5th worst records have, based on the past 10 years, a more likely chance of getting the #1 pick than the worst record team does for some reason. It just never seems to work out for the worst record team anymore to get the #1 pick.

Yeah they had a 2.5% chance of getting it. I don't know, it just seems pretty fishy with all of the pub and the turn around from Lebron leaving to now the #1 pick.

The Amarillo Sox Did Not Expect Their New Mascot To Have A Huge Erection (http://deadspin.com/5816771/the-amarillo-sox-did-not-expect-their-new-mascot-to-have-a-huge-erection)

The Amarillo Sox Sock is dead. Long live the Amarillo Sox Sock.

The independent league team only started play this year, and one of the big secrets surrounding the team was to be their mascot. Finally, after much buildup, they got that. The team's GM puts the blame on the costume maker, saying the suit looked like a normal lovable flaccid sock in the photos he had seen.

"It was not the way I wanted it," Lee said. "I'm very disappointed in the lady who did it, and I've told her so. She is going to fix it to the changes we want. I want to say on the record, if we offended anybody, I apologize."

Immediately after its debut Friday night, the Sock was designated for assignment. He's going back to the drawing board, with the team preparing to re-introduce its new mascot this coming weekend. Yes, the same designer is putting it together.

"It's in her hands today," Lee said without a trace of irony.

Holy shit! 5 hours, 53 minutes, Novak Djokovic defends his title as Australian Open champion, defeating Rafael Nadal 5-7, 6-4, 6-2, 6-7 (5), 7-5. This was an absolute HELL of a match. This one has got to go down as the greatest match in Australian Open tournament history, and quite possibly as one of the greatest Men's Singles championship matches in Grand Slam history.

Thank you baby Jesus, the Australian Football League has kicked off the 2012 season. A HELL of a match going on right now, with Fremantle 12.8 (80) leading Geelong 12.7 (79) at the end of three quarter time. Now ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN3 need to get off their asses and get these games on TV and online. Otherwise, I'm gonna end up very tempted to purchase that $99 annual subscription to AFL.TV to watch these matches online all season long.

I can't get enough of either one. They need to put rugby in general on TV much more than the occasional match I come across on Saturday and Sunday mornings on BBC America. As for Australian Football League, it's a nice change and happy medium. It's not American football, it's not quite rugby, it's not soccer. It's a nice mix with plenty of hitting, tackling and take downs and plenty of action.

Granted, I'm just plain a sports nut. NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, minor league baseball, minor league hockey, college baseball, college football, college basketball, rugby, AFL, college lacrosse, pro lacrosse, tennis, golf, soccer (MLS, EPL, other international leagues like Spanish, German, French, and Italian leagues, World Cup), when it's on tv occasionally some cricket, boxing, MMA, racing (IRL with some NASCAR thrown in), all sorts of sports.

That's where I'm already good. I have NHL Network on my cable, so I can watch hockey games regularly (may not get to watch every Colorado Avalanche game, but I make do), I have MLB Network on my cable and have an annual subscription with MLB.TV, so I have every Colorado Rockies game covered, as well as all of MLB in general. That just leave Australian Football League, which good old handy ESPN probably won't show a single game of until at least May or June (halfway through the season of course).

I probably wouldn't follow it too much, at least not to the extent I do the professional sports and college sports, but if Columbus or Akron got a team, I could be tempted to make one or two visits a year just sort of as a weekend getaway to get out of town and do something. And with old friends from college living over near Cleveland, if it was in Akron we'd be able to meet up and catch a game or two and hang out for the weekend.

The only non-NFL professional league that has caught my interest is the All-American Football something or another that started a few years ago, held a draft, and then disappeared without a sound. The premise was that you'd have teams based on states, and it was only guys that had played college football in that state. So you had Chris Leak on Team Florida, for example. Was a neat concept.

The guys on NFL radio questioned why the USFL, UFL, and all these other leagues don't just pool their money. Obviously they disagree somewhere about how the various leagues should be run, but you would think that they'd have the business sense to combine forces.

What a last minute collapse by QPR.

I'm still in shock over it. That was amazing. Watching all of this unfold this morning, flipping between games, was as good as it gets in sports. Then to have goals at 90+2 and 90+4 to snatch the title from United - Jesus.

City has a history of letting their fans down. And today appeared to be a letdown of historic proportions. They were the top home side, playing the worst road club. Add to it they were facing Mark Hughes, the manager they fired before hiring Roberto Mancini and that QPR was facing the possibility of relegation. You can't make that shit up. I'm still shocked.

But, mostly, I'm thrilled that United did not win another title.

The most-watched annual sporting event in the world is taking place today in Munich. The Final of the UEFA Champions League is at 1:45 PM Central, and I can't wait.

The game features Bayern Munich of the German Bundesliga and Chelsea of the English Premier League. The game, by chance (site is determined years in advance), is at Bayern's home ground. That's a first in CL history.

Chelsea has had a crazy season. Their 6th place finish in the Premier League means they didn't qualify for any European competitions next year through league play. However, they did qualify for the Europa League by winning the FA Cup 2 weeks ago. Obviously, a win today would qualify them for next year's Champions League, which is much more important than the Europa.

Should be fun to watch (it's on FOX, by the way). I hope Chelsea can complete this improbable run and secure their first European Cup!

Since upgrading cable last July and getting access to Fox Soccer Channel (and taking part in Streak for the Cash on ESPN, which has soccer props every single day of the week that there's a soccer match being played somewhere), I'm watching soccer all the time now.

On an unrelated note, in horse racing, holy crap! For the second time in two weeks, I'll Have Another makes a sprint down the stretch, overtakes Bodemeister (who has led the race the entire time since the gate) in the final 100 yards, and wins at the line, by 1 1/2 lengths in the Kentucky Derby and now by a neck in the Preakness.

It took me a good 6 months to settle on one.

I wanted a team that has a chance of success but I wouldn't want to root for United, because that's too easy. I wouldn't want a club that teeters on relegation and is never on TV.

I started researching the clubs and found that I had reasons I could hate all of the top clubs. For example, Bin Laden was an Arsenal fan - eliminated.

When I circled back, Chelsea was the only club I only had "unimportant" reasons to not like, in my eyes. Add to it that I have a friend that is a big supporter and that I watched their incredible run through the Champions League, where they were heavy underdogs and put on life support several times (including today), and I made the decision to support then awhile ago.

Any suggestions on what to watch?Personally, I only watch the national sides -- i.e. World Cup or similar level. I know very little about the local teams.

Also, one rule difference I thought of ... the extra point is there, but you have to kick it from the angle where the touchdown (called a try) was scored. So if you scored on the extreme end of the end zone, that's where your kicker has to kick from. Plus a given distance out from the goal posts. Makes it far from a gimme, and much more exciting than a real extra point.

Woo! French Open tennis just started in the last 20 minutes with first round action. After nothing since the Australian Open at the end of January, finally Grand Slam tennis returns to TV with Roland Garros for the next two weeks. And thankfully, I'll be able to watch more of it. With the Australian Open, most tennis started around 8 or 9 pm and lasted until 7 or 8 am EST, so if I wanted to watch the top players, I had to either get up, or stay up from 3:30 to 7 or 8 am each morning. French Open starts at 5am and goes until 6 or 7 pm EST.

Worst possible mistake: A fan ordered a Tom Brady Fathead and got this instead.

Here's how Fathead made it up to him: http://bit.ly/11rVzPS


The only thing the fan could offer was, "What did I do to deserve this?"

I didn't think Glavine would be a 1st ballot off the top of my head, then saw he had over 300 wins. I could see an "outside" chance of Frank Thomas and Craig Biggio this year too. Moreso Biggio than Thomas though.

Other than Maddux and Glavine you've got a lot of very good players but not HOFers IMO. Maybe Donny baseball or Tim Raines
