In the news today...Chess grandmaster, and mall Santa look-alike, Bobby Fischer passed away at the age of 64. Where was he? Read to find out.
Golfweek editor, and apparent fall guy, Dave Seanor was hung out to dry today, after the latest edition of the magazine was released with a noose on the cover. Well, I'm glad that Mr. Seanor kept that cover super secret, and didn't let anyone else at the magazine look at it before it went to print.
Herschel Walker will reveal in an upcoming book that he suffers from multiple personality disorder. I'm guessing all of them were pretty decent running backs. I do wonder if he ever said anything really weird in the huddle, though. "Herschel's not here right now. My name is Cindy."

Se7en says is quickly becoming a staple on the afternoon roundup.

One of our Community members is on this problem as well. Jump in the coaching conundrum with My never ending Story.... Oops. I guess they just hired someone. Well, I guess we can see if our user was right.
If you like cheesy jokes, I mean really cheesy ones - the kind that make you groan out loud - than check out The Words of Dezy. So, a horse, a priest and Rosie O'Donnell walk in to a bar.... I wish it was that good.
Footballstu put together his own afternoon roundup. The difference? Stu on This is a collection of afternoon delights from around the internet, and all of them pertain to the Yankees.
