Lazy, lazy, lazy

Well, I wanted to post something, but I'm too tired to think. So here's a bunch of links to some humorous/quirky/cool stories, and one funny use of editing.

ABC and ESPN paid $100 million for the rights to the 2010 and 2014 World Cups. But the big news is that they were one of five American network groups bidding for the rights. That's a huge step forward for soccer.

Wide receivers in the NFL are wearing non-traditional numbers. And ESPN.com is writing non-traditional NFL articles.

According to Chinese scientists, there's a black hole in the middle of our galaxy.

You can buy a semi-pro indoor football team on EBay. For the low, low price of $100 grand.

And finally, a video editing house in Seattle had a competition to see who could recut a movie trailer to make it seem like something it was not. This is the winner. I warned these Hollywood types once already about overusing "Solsbury Hill," and now these folks have showed how that song's power can be used in horribly wrong ways.

If you're a fan of the Adult Swim shows on Cartoon Network and you haven't heard Danger Doom's The Mouse and the Mask yet, run right out and get yourself a copy. Hi-class underground rap interspersed with bits by various Adult Swim characters. Sweet.

I know of an NFL team I'd sell you for less than that $$....
