Lunchtime laughs: Fainting A-Rod

Here are some morsels before you read Stew Mandel's college football mailbag:

A-Rod's wife says he passed out when she gave birth to their first daughter. In his defense, he hadn't heard that much screaming since he last ran out a pop-up.

Kobe Bryant won his first MVP award yesterday. He said he couldn't have done it without his Lakers teammates. In fact, next season he's even planning to learn their names.

• White Sox pitcher Gavin Floyd threw 8 1/3 hitless innings against the Twins Tuesday night before a Joe Mauer double. It actually would have been the team's second no-no this week, if you count the inflatable sex dolls.

• A federal judge ruled Tuesday that Roger Clemens can keep Rusty Hardin as his lawyer. Hmmm, sounds like the Rocket is setting up an insanity defense. You'd have to be crazy to let that numbskull represent you.

• MLB will hold a ceremonial draft of living former Negro League players this June. Of course, if they'll play cheap, a few might actually make the Marlins.

• Cavs star LeBron James made just 2-of-18 shots in Tuesday's 76-72 loss to the Celtics. To apologize to Cleveland fans, LeBron will offer discounted gym memberships to work off all that pizza.

Speaking of A-Rod and pop-ups....Nah. Nevermind, Pete. I know you missed my presence here.

He was so depressed he drove home at 98 mph.

I don't blame him. There is some pretty gruesome stuff going on during childbirth.

Newsflash:

We were all able to read that three times and still get lunch before LAL were up. (Late Afternoon Laughs). In no way confusing them with LOL.

I think it is more important to be there during conception...

The White Sox had blow up dolls in the locker room as a way to break some sort of losing streak (who'd a thunk it?). Apparantly they were not in good taste and the media decided to pile that onto the last Ozzie rant story.

Hardin's 15 year old daughter made the announcement from a Las Vegas hotel room.

He's a busy guy. You aren't worthy of his...humor.

Just *sobs* leave Pete alone!

FGB, is that Will? It's hard to recognize him without the orange...

I thought that every day Ozzie Guillen wakes up, he makes a no-no.

To Kobe's credit (and trust me, I don't like to give him much credit), he did a really nice job of recognizing the progress his teammates have made in the past couple seasons.

I think he even said personal thank you's to "The big bald guy who rebounds", "Bill Walton's kid", and "That little short guy on point"

Sorry, am I missing something? Who cares, it was in their locker room, right?

That fact that his daughter resembled the mailman might've lent something to that.
