MORE news you can't use....

This photo released by the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Department shows Cincinnati Reds pitcher Brian Shackelford in a police booking photo early Thursday, July 6, 2006, in Milwaukee, after being arrested on suspicion of third-degree sexual assault.

The 29-year-old baseball player was arrested shortly after midnight at Miller Park, where the Reds played the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday night, police spokeswoman Anne E. Schwartz said. She declined to provide details on the arrest other than to say it involved a woman Monday.

Ok, so in this day and age, everything has to be made into a movie. This one would more than likely end up on Lifetime, or ESPN2, but either way, I know EXACTLY who will play the lead roll...

John C. Reilly! He is a dead ringer for the lead roll. He just needs to grow the little soul patch.

I can see it now...
Born in McAlester, OK. in 1976...Brian Shackelford grew up in a small town where baseball was everything......(fast forward to college yrs)....Once Brian got a taste of the college party life, his dark side began to show. He drank a lot and was often with a different girl every night, whether the girls wanted it or not. Drafted in 1998 by the Cincinnati Reds, he worked hard in the minor leagues, but he played hard also. He let the partying go a bit so he could focus on baseball, and in 2005, his efforts paid off. He made his MLB debut on June 26, 2005.
One year and 10 days later, he would be arrested for sexual assault in Milwaukee, his dream slowly falling apart.....

You know how these movies are...happy beginning, leading into the dark transition to BAD guy, then the obvious fall downward... I've seen it a hundred times. But, makes for GOOD TV!

PAMPLONA!
Well, it's that time again...San Fermin - The Running of the Bulls. The ceremony begins today with the actual even taking place tomorrow.

Get out your white jump suits, red belts and red scarfs, it's time to HAVE SOME FUN!
After Thursday's official sanction, it will be nine days of drinking, drinking, and more drinking. Oh, and a daily dash down the cobblestone streets ahead of the lethal horns of six 3/4-ton bulls.
(Actually, maybe McGone, BPDP and I should book our flights now!)

Don't these people look like they are having a BLAST?!

Why anyone would do this, is beyond me. Oh wait..it's probably the alcohol that makes them think they are FASTER than the 3/4 ton bull!
