No, it’s not a typo:

Wisconsin 83, Indiana 20. Worst loss in Indiana history. Or at least since Dan Quayle last played scrabble.

83 points?  Seriously.  Today being the Wisconsin punter was about as relevant as being a caterer at a convention of super models.

Nick Coombs sent in this stat, the only time the  Wisconsin men scored 83 in basketball last year was against… Indiana.

(For anyone who doesnt follow college basketball, Wisconsin’s basketball team, while usually pretty good,  plays a very defensive style that results in very low scoring games,  even in years when the team is good enough to make the NCAA tournament.)

  
The U.S. Post Office lost over $8 billion last year and may have to go to five day a week mail service. Angry Americans plan to start a Facebook and email campaign to “Save Saturday delivery.”
This weekend New York City is hosting the two-day Quidditch World Cup.  And over 40 broomstick-riding teams are participating.
Wonder if the championship trophy will be given out by Christine O’Donnell?
But really?  Quidditch?   Even Trekkies are saying “How geeky can you get?”
NFL priorities: This week the Panthers’ Jon Beason of the Carolina Panthers fined $10,000 for a hit to the head on the Saint’s Marques Colston. Meanwhile Chad Ochocinco was fined $20,000, for wearing gold cleats.

Reader Augie’s comment on David Lee, who compared the pain of  his infected elbow to giving birth. 

“Maybe David Lee’s wife gave birth to a 10lb elbow. Just think if he had gotten his head stuck in a hoop instead.”

LeAnn Rimes actually  tweeted her best wishes to her ex-husband, who she famously cheated on,  She then added in another tweet “my congrats is from my heart. Sorry if you don’t understand it. I do not need the publicity, I get plenty”

Uh, LeAnn, if you don’t need the publicity, maybe a congratulatory phone call or email might have been better?

Warning,  the next joke will only make sense to hockey fans.

What’s the difference between the Maple Leafs and the Sharks?  The regular season and the postseason.

    Better that angry Americans start a Facebook page and email campaign to save the U.S. Post Office from the clutches of Congress. The actual loss would have only been $500 million instead of the $8.5 billion, tolerable in this economy, if Congress didn’t mandate that USPS prefund its employee health and retirement benefits by $5.5 billion, something no other federal agency, or company, has to do. The rest of the loss was due to interest rate increases. That pork costs money, you know.

    83??? that’s my bowling avr and IQ. grrrr

    NCAA needs two things for football – playoffs and the mercy rule.

    north of the border, we’ve always only had 5 day mail delivery service. what happened to the 6 billion we saved. (btw, the sled dogs enjoy their weekends off)

    NFL Prop bet of the day: Who has the worst hair night? Polamalu or Brady.

    2nd place finisher gets to keep Christine O’Donnell.

    Oregon over Cal., 15-13; Stanford scores 17? When I saw those scores I thought they must still be in the pre-game warm-ups. Weird week, even Wazzu won a game.

    I’m having trouble figuring out why we still need the US Postal Service any day, other than to keep my brother-in-law working.

      Well, for the average person, about the only time the Post Office comes to mind is when you pull up, stick your arm out, and drop mail in one of those snorkel boxes. Then they drive away and fuggidaboudit. However, what most don’t realize is the the good ole PO anchors a $trillion business related to the mailing industry that employees over 9 million people in the good ole U S of A. The GOP-led congress should pay attention to economic indicators instead of drinking the potion stirred up by witches at a tea social.

    Bud Selig raised eyebrows the other day when he said that civil war veteran Abner Doubleday invented baseball, despite all evidence to the contrary. Leading Jamie Moyer to say: “I knew Abner Doubeday. I fought with Abner Doubleday. And Abner Doubleday did not invent baseball.”
