It was there for all to see

Bartolo Colon is the second coming of completely underrated Stooge Shemp Howard.

Does Ken Macha have some secret polaroids of A's owner Steve Schott? If not, can someone explain to me how he still has a job. He makes Art Howe look alive.

I never thought I would say this, but the cast of characters on the newest Surreal Life might even be a bit much for me. What a collection of asshole and losers. Not a redeemable quality to be found.

HOWEVAH, the cast of the newest Celebrity Fit Club has serious promise. I mean, Willie Aames, Victoria Jackson, Jackee, and Gary Busey??? Busey might be the first person to actually die on a reality show.

Um, yeah, I've had to delete several punchlines to this, so I'll just give you the item itself...
He [Donald Trump] confirmed that he is considering a new format for his next "Apprentice" -- a team of African-American contestants would be pitted against an all-white group.

Greg, you will truly appreciate the 15 minute conversation I just had about this fine man...

Tom Jones, Singer

Born: 7 June 1940
Birthplace: Pontypridd, South Wales
Best Known As: Sexy Welsh singer of "It's Not Unusual"
Name at birth: Thomas Jones Woodward

Jones's 1965 single "It's Not Unusual" shot to #1 and made him a player in the swinging music scene of the 1960s. The same year he scored hits with the movie themes to What's New, Pussycat? and the James Bond film Thunderball. Jones was a pure power singer, with a roguish bare-chested appeal that was a particular hit with female fans. His act was ready-made for Las Vegas (where he became friends with Elvis Presley), and from 1969-71 he had his own TV show, This is Tom Jones, which aired both in the U.K. and America. Jones's star faded a bit in the 1970s, but in 1988 he reinvented himself, joining the cutting-edge band Art of Noise to remake the Prince hit "Kiss" into a hit of his own.

Jones shares a name with the rascally title character of the 1749 Henry Fielding novel Tom Jones... Jones performed as Tommy Scott early in his career, then returned to his own birth name minus the 'Woodward'... Jones married in 1957, when he was 16 years old; he and his wife had one son, born later that year, and remained married into the 21st century.

speaking of Tom Jones. He appeared as himself in the 1999 movie "Agnes Browne" with Angelica Huston. Nice story, if you like tales of Irish spirit.

It's amazing he's still married when women have been throwing their panties at him onstage for 40 years. If women began coming into my office and tossing their lacy undergarments at me every day, I'd have a hard time maintaining my professionalism.

"Delilah" is pure oldies gold. Such a sad song.

His wife must have some "skills."

A sure sign your offseason isn't going the way you planned:

The Wizards are interested in signing Donyell Marshall and will bring the free agent in this week, the Washington Times reports.
