GATLIN LOSES RECORD TO GEEK AT DESK
Justin Gatlin had his world record in the 100 meters taken away by a timing error. Gatlin was timed in 9.766, which should have been rounded up manually to 9.77, only tying Gatlin with current record-holder Asafa Powell of Jamaica.Why?! If he's timed in 9.766, well then, I think that would be called HIS TIME. World's record. This ain't a Yahtzee tournament, there's no point in letting some nerd with an abacus trump uranium-powered laser timepiece technology. that's nearly a half of a one hundredth, you just don't go roundin' that up like a country auctioneer!

"I wasn't gonna drink today, Brandon, but I saw the sign, so I'm forced into pounding 12 Jager shots." You'd drink too if there were gators snatchin' your women right off the jogging paths.
BRUINS FINALLY BEAT SOMEBODY UP

You make it to the NFL. You may never have to work a real job your whole life. Babes aplenty. And you just haaaave to get into it with someone at a friggin' Denny's because he bumped you while grabbing a condiment packet. Hey, you're in the NFL - eat at Cheesecake Factory!
