A Few Tidbits from Around the Web

Here are a few interesting links from around the world wide web (and one from a magazine that is reprinted on the web). Click on them and be enlightened.

• The Sounders season opener was a wet one and for the first 90+ minutes it looked like the weather was going to be the only victor. Then during injury time (and definitely near the end of that) the Sounders struck with this goal. Definitely worth watching the whole thing.
• JR Smith quite possibly has the most tattoos per skin area of anyone in the NBA. He can shoot 3 pointers with the best of them. He once played in China. He was also fined $50,000 for repeatedly untying opponents shoes. Yahoo Sports took a closer look at this very interesting player.
• The No Fun League (NFL) has struck again. This time they are outlawing post touchdown goalpost dunks. Apparently because they hate seeing players and fans happy.
• ESPN the Magazine took a look at while the NBA is the most conspiracy laden league. Pablo Torre does a great job and it is definitely worth a read. However if you don't have EPSN insider or you don't want to spend the time here is the short version, David Stern was the NBA's commissioner for 30 years.
