A Backyard Football Prank With Painful Results. You have to feel bad for that kid. Poor bastard didn’t see it coming at all. On a scale of dirty hits from one to ten, that’s a “Hines Ward.” [Second-String Fullback]

* Mark Cuban explains his comments about the NFL. “The issue is they haven’t always been the big dog and they won’t always be the big dog, and I think they’re being really short sighted and that’s pretty much in my mind the definition of the Ugly American.” [Sports Radio Interviews]
* Like Tony LaRussa, I have also had this dream. “If we’re in contention, we’ll put [new hitting coach Mark McGwire] on the roster Aug. 31. It’s a nice little dream. Is it likely? Probably not. I don’t think it’s a zero possibility.” [The Will Leitch Experience]
* Video: Spitting On The Star? A Real Eagles Fan. It’s something that just never seems to go away, people trying to disrespect our Star. Terrell Owens did it – twice. We forgave him when we signed him, but this guy is just a putz. Spitting on the Star not once, but twice! And he was even looking around trying not to get caught. [Dallas Cowboys Nation]
* Video: Kirilenko’s sweet pass-between-the-legs/back pick. I just wanted to make it two Ball Don’t Lie posts in a row that had nothing to with Gilbert Arenas, Javaris Crittenton and/or guns. So, with that said, beautiful assist/back pick, AK-47! [Ball Don't Lie]
* Accusation: Clippers Announcer Is Very Bad Guy. The Associated Press has an accusation against L.A. Clippers announcer Michael Smith that came absolutely out of nowhere: Smith, 44, and his business partner Bruce Furst, 57, were charged Dec. 21 with felony grand theft, Orange County district attorney spokeswoman Farrah Emami said Wednesday.
