marbury.jpg*Empty the Bench has a humorous look at several of the less savory items available in the clearance portion of NBA.com’s store. We prefer that Steph Marbury onesie (isn’t that what the parents call those things?).

*Roughkat wanted us to work in our new “Ask …” bit for this Al Jefferson interview, but it’s pretty solid already. Here’s a snippet:

Q: Tennis star Andy Roddick just proposed to Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Brooklyn Decker. But I heard she had a crush on you, so that’s weird.
A: He better keep her out of my eyesight then.

Take it to the rack, big fella! Wait, not you, Steve.

*Steve Lyons’ definition of a family vacation likely differs from yours.

*Interesting and disturbing news about a boxer who fought with plaster in his hand wraps.

*Cry on, Arsenal. Cry on.

It was absolutely, 100%, a penalty (for that matter, it would have been two minutes in the NHL), but I merely assumed the ref was blind, not a cheat.

That said, it wouldn’t have mattered at all except that Arsenal didn’t put away any of a handful of good second-half chances, so there’s really nobody to blame but the boys in red and white. (Especially Nicklas Bendtner.)

Oh, wait, I mean, “Soc-cer?”

Weird that a guy with the nickname “Psycho” would find himself in that kind of situation.

Also, I have no idea what Jon is talking about, but I damn well agree.

That “onesie” looks like it could be a wresting unitard. Any chance Brock Lesner wears that during his next UFC fight?
