* 1978 video features Jon Miller’s hair … system? Never one to get stuck on one sport, ESPN broadcaster Jon Miller has weaved a long, lustrous career in a variety of broadcast capacities. From the video posted below, I myself learned today that Miller called NASL pro soccer matches in 1978. [SportsbyBrooks]
* Forbes, Who Once Called Kevin McHale The Best GM In Sports, Ranks Red Sox Nation #1. So take the fact that the esteemed magazine (except when it writes anything about sports, clearly) ranked Red Sox fans as America’s best with a grain of salt. Below is a brief explanation of the methods Forbes used in determining that a lowbred population of loudmouthed Yah Doods and their pink Red Sox hat-wearing hussy counterparts are the absolute best fans in the country. I’m just kidding, not every member of Red Sox Nation is a knuckle-dragging moron, just the ones that the average person comes into contact with on a daily basis. That’s all. [Sportress of Blogitude]
* Nevada Wolfpack Kicker Ricky Drake Busted For DUI, Smiles For Camera! At least six DUIs in 2 years? This is an SEC level of drunkenness. But let’s get back to the smiling mugshot. The guy is so proud, but then his parents found out that Ricky was losing 50% of his scholarship. That’s right, Ricky called Coach Ault to tell him of the arrest and he promptly dropped the financial hammer and a two game suspension. Who’s smiling now, fool? [Busted Coverage]
* CFL Now Officially Better Than NFL (for Soccer Themed Touchdown Celebrations Anyway). The above soccer-themed touchdown celebration by Dave Stala of the CFL’s Hamilton Tiger-Cats means I’m now officially a fan. [The Offside]
* Also: Hmm. Nike co-founder Phil Knight dumped 27 percent of his Nike stock this past fiscal year.
