Here are a few items to kick off your weekend in style:
• Football legend Joe Montana is reportedly suing his ex-wife because she sold his old love letters from the mid-70s. Apparently there's some pretty personal stuff in there. Like in one, Montana admits having a dream about the Captain -- with Tennille nowhere in sight.
• The Papa John's 23-cent pizza promotion in Cleveland yesterday got a little out of hand. Police had to be called to several locations to keep patrons from cutting the long lines and to break up fights. That, of course, inevitably led to mayhem at suddenly unguarded donut shops. Indeed, it was a vicious fast-food circle.
• A 78-year-old legally blind man in Iowa bowled a perfect game over the weekend. And this is strange -- today he landed the support of six superdelegates.
• A judge has ordered jailed QB Michael Vick to repay more than $2.4 million to a Canadian bank for defaulting on a loan. Yeah, like that's likely to happen soon. Ol' Ookie's got a better chance to marry Jenna Bush than come up with that kind of scratch.
• Reds mascot Mr. Redlegs was accidentally decapitated on Wednesday, his giant head rolling on the warning track. Said stunned Cincy manager Dusty Baker, "I never expected to see anything like that. A few young pitchers' arms falling off, sure. But not that."
• Mariners first baseman Richie Sexson was ejected after charging the mound Thursday night even though replays showed that the pitch wasn't that far inside. Maybe he just got upset after the Jumbotron posted his .209 batting average in digits five stories high.

Did you know that it can be proven with physics, timers, etc... that it's impossible to hit a 90mph fastball? Literally impossible for any human being.
Unless, of course, you start swinging before the ball is released. Think about that for a second.
I've played enough tennis t obeing to understand how yo ucan begin reacting before the release, but it's still awfully darned impressive.

Report Offensive CommentLet's see, $2.4 million, at $0.78 per day, in dog years, apply the Canadian exchange rate, uhmm, OK:
Vick can pay it off in 2039, when, strangley enough, the Falcons will be 3 games over .500.
