Marvin Harrison's Walkoff, Pujols=Jerk, Don West Swims in Cards, College Hoops Power Rankings, Flying Wii Remotes, Playstation 3 for Baby?

NFL:
Marvin Harrison walked off the field before the half was over, then he failed to even attempt a tackle on Lito Sheppard. Lebron James was raked over the coals for something similar. Terrell Owens would have been sent to the gas chamber. Can anyone say, "double standard"?
Loyal Mondesi reader A.J. sends over the gayest Tom Brady tribute video ever made. Watch at your own risk.
MLB:
Albert Pujols, turning into a jerk right in front of our eyes. Barry Bonds would be proud.
If you've never checked out Joesportsfan.com, you're missing out. Be sure to check out former Bucco Bob Walk, featured in the "Worthless Card Collection".
On the topic of baseball cards, the above site has a great article on former Home Shopping crazyman Don West. You know, the guy who tried convincing you at 2 AM to buy that Gem Mint 10 of Derek Jeter? In the article, the author references an occasion when West accidentally knocked a box of 3,200 baseball cards on the floor in the middle of a sales pitch. Always the master of improv, West then "swam" in the cards, as only he could. He explained that he used to swim in piles of cards as a kid. Alas, here is said video of Don West swimming in a pool of overpriced cardboard.


COLLEGE HOOPS:
SI.com's Luke Winn gives his college basketball power rankings. Wichita State #3, Butler #4, Gonzaga #6, Marquette #8, Pitt #10. Maybe next week he'll release his real power rankings, as these were obviously a joke.
NBA:
Tony Parker and Eva Longoria to live happily ever after.
RANDOM FUN STUFF:
The Nintendo Wii has a major downside: Wii remotes flying from player's hands, crashing TV sets, windows, and pictures of Grandma in the process.
Wondering about how the Michael Richards video affected Seinfeld Season 7 DVD sales? Would you believe they're up 75% over season 6 and 90% over season 5?
A St. Paul radio station had a gag in which they offered a free Playstation 3 in trade for 24 hours custody of your baby. The result? They were overrun with calls.

Eli Manning Adopted, Donovan McNabb Done?, Yao Ming Stuffed, Bowl Projections, Playstation 3 Grill, Michael Richards Video

I work and work and work on making this a great sports site, and then I throw in one or two non-sports links every day to broaden our horizons. So guess which two links had the most out clicks the other day? That's right, the one about video games and the one about Paris Hilton and Britney Spears partying in Las Vegas. Yep, this is one fine sports blog.

A big thank you goes out to the Post Gazette's Blog and Gold Steeler column, who has thrown many a kind link Mondesi's way. If you've never checked it out, it's a really cool wrapup of the odds and ends of the internet in relation to your favorite team.

Eli Manning is having a hard time telling the Giants he was adopted.

A San Antonio newspaper takes a variety of shots as ESPN. See, we're not the only ones who have a bone to pick with the Worldwide Leader. (via Deadspin)

Is Donovan McNabb on the downside of his career? I have to admit, Don Banks makes some good points.

A great video of 7'5" Yao Ming being stuffed by 5'9" Nate Robinson. This is the #4 video on YouTube today, passing this week's trifecta of trainwrecks, the original Michael Richards video, the awkward followup interview on Letterman., and the Kelly Ripa vs. Rosie O'Donnell video.


Stuart Mandel once again revises his NCAA Bowl Projections. This time, he has Pitt against Tulsa in the Birmingham Bowl on December 23. If there's one team that deserves to play in the post-season, it's Pitt.

Now presenting the Playstation 3...Grill?
