Really, Kelloggs
Seth Myers on Kelloggs and the Phelps Bong controversy.
Priceless quote – “If your kids argue why can’t they smoke pot and Phelps can’t? The appropriate response is, you can AFTER you win 12 gold medals for your country.”
By the way, some Indian readers might be confused by why smokin a Bengali is such a [...]

Bong no way Steroids A-OK
Why isn’t Alex Rodriguez’s steroid use in 2003 more serious than Phelps’ bong use? Are the Yankees going to dump him or is he going to lose his endorsement deals? I bet you not.

Tough Guy Challenge 2009 Photos
Amazing photos from what they call the “the safest most dangerous taste of physical and mental endurance pain in the world” called the Tough Guy Challenge. Why ‘Tough Guy’ when I can see at least one woman in the pictures or is it generic as in ‘hey guys’? I love the guy in the Borat [...]

Obama and the College Football Playoffs
This op-ed in NY Times on Obama’s suggestion that college football should have a playoff system instead of the current top-two battling for the national championship is one of the stupidest commentary I’ve read. First, it is a suggestion by a football fan and not the “first policy proposal”; any football fan with half a [...]

The 2008 Beijing Olympics finally concluded with yet another show of pomp and grandeur. So how did these Olympics fare compared to the others? As the BBC Olympics blog put it best, “there are really 204 different Olympic Games every four years – one from the perspective of every country taking part.” So for China, [...]

Rules of Celebration post-Olympic Victory
Olympic athletes train for a long time before it comes down to mere seconds in their respective races. Usain Bolt has been a phenomenon at the Post-Phelps 2008 Beijing Olympics and thanks to his cool Jamaican attitude, is also a crowd favorite.

“Michael Phelps is the new Chuck Norris. And Chuck Norris is fine with that.”
Michael Phelps at conception
Before Usain Bolt smashed those world records in 100m and 200m with astonishing ease, Michael Phelps and his record eight Olympic golds were the talk of the town. Of course, there were a couple of close shaves but Phelps literally demolished his opposition and now promises to return albeit with a less [...]

Will they deport Henry Cejudo’s mom?
Although we have had an overindulgence of sappy Olympics background stories, this one is genuine. Henry Cejudo, 21 son of an undocumented migrant or like some like to call them, illegal aliens has just won the gold for the U.S. in the 55-kilogram wrestling event. His immediate reaction – “The United States is the land [...]
