Some exercise, some work towards obtaining a college degree, and some file hand-written lawsuits against public figures, both dead and alive. Well, that last one may be unique to Riches. During his time in prison for wire fraud, [...]

Say hello to Your Morning Wood, LAF’s barely readable daily link dump. Well, the links themselves are enjoyable, the drivel I lead with is not. Finally college football season is here. Sorry baseball, it’s been fun, but the gridiron is where it’s at. Now if only the NFL would start, all would be right in [...]

Work it Tito, work it! Yep, that’s 51-year-old Terry Francona, manager of the Boston Red Sox, celebrating his daughter’s engagement in the most fitting way possible…shirtless and flexing. Seems appropriate to me–this is exactly how I celebrated my son’s briss, only fatter, drunker and oilier. Gotta give it to Francona here—he’s in pretty good shape [...]

Especially after catching a glimpse of Noah on the practice green at the annual Chicago Bulls charity golf tournament. His outfit is not what most golfers would consider “appropriate attire” for playing 18 holes of golf. But I disagree.

From the Trenton Thunder’s “Football Kickoff Night” comes this picture of the world’s most interesting 8-year-old. Little man with some sweet bling is autographing the ball for these three Philadelphia Eagles cheerleaders, and not the other way round. The story is as impressive as this kid’s smoothness. From Thunder public relations director Bill Cook… The [...]

Big companies know that protecting their investment is as important as the investment itself. head & shoulders knows this, hence the reason they went and had the flowing mane of Steelers safety Troy Polamalu insured with Lloyd’s of London for a cool million bucks. You think I’m kidding, but look at that head of hair [...]

Welcome to Your Morning Wood, LAF’s not quite ready for prime time daily link dump. Gorge yourself on these scrumptious links, then unbuckle your pants and come back here for a spell. In other news, I vote we change the name of Monday to Craphole…seems fitting, no? Et tu, Monday? 21-year-old tries to pass himself [...]

As far as managerial meltdowns go, this is nearly as good as Phil Wellman’s epic tantrum of three years ago. While Wellman’s is the gold standard, Gary Robinson’s tirade is right up there too. Robinson, the State College (Pa.) Spikes manager, was upset with a call by umpire Roberto Ortiz, and the two jawed back [...]

I try and give credit where credit is due, and I have to give all the credit in the world to Bucks point guard Brandon Jennings. It takes an honorable man to follow through after losing a bet, even when the payment is as embarrassing and degrading as grooving out to Lady Gaga, sans shirt. [...]
