Whoever said life imitates sport was right on the money but what if real life held some of the answers for sports? A nonsensical notion at best but what if sports started paying attention to the unimportant world around it? Maybe it would look something like this...
                          
$20 million 'virtual' border fence scrapped
The US Government is pitchforking $860 million taxpayer dollars into this boondoggle that makes the newly clothed emperor look naked yet smart.
                       
It's not a fence but a bunch of iPhones stapled to poles that pinpoint illegal aliens crossing our border and then take a pretty picture. While an "actual" fence is centuries-old proven technology costing 10% of the "virtual" fence, virtuality leapfrogs the whole fuddy-duddy fence as a physical barrier concept and replaces it with cutting edge stupidity. "Oops" the first $20 million dollars just got flushed down the drain...
                         
Sort of reminds you of the Detroit Tigers doesn't it? They built the best "virtual" baseball team in the off season for $130 million dollars and right now the 8-year, $152.3 million dollars they dumped down the Miguel Cabrera drain is looking all systems go. Swatting a very ordinary, .263 with 5 dingaroos, Fatty, as his teammates like to call him, waddled over to play 1st base after a grueling three-week stint at 3rd.
                   
Meanwhile Dontrelle Willis and his $7,000,000 salary are nestled safely on the DL with zero wins, just two-starts, a hyper-extended knee and a 7.20 ERA. Willis has all the fixin's o####iant floparoo of a season. After notching 9 wins out of twenty played the Tigers are tied with the dismal KC Royals who managed to spend a paltry $57 million dollars for the same result. It looked real good on paper.
              
Israeli Airstrike Targeted Syrian Nuclear Reactor
Despite being years away from completion and based on a photograph of a Syrian wearing a I Helped Build a Reactor at Al Kibar & All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt those wacky guys at the Israeli Defense Ministry bombed the snot bubbles out the Syrian site. Their policy of Love Means Never Having to Say You're Sorry is simple, bomb first and refuse to answer questions later.
                    
That same solution might be perfect for those New York Knicks, after a 2008 season where Isiah Thomas redefined imploding, coughing up millions for his #### lechery to childish squabbling with Stephon Marbury, he topped it all off with, Whoops there go all my real jobs. Winning 56 games over two years and losing 108 as coach Thomas is a certified triple threat, he stinks at being President, GM and Coach. He singlehandedly destroyed basketball as we know it in New York City.
                
Kept on out of spite to wring a nickel's worth of value out of the money paid him, Isiah the Useless was peremptorily bombed by his successor Donnie Walsh the other day with the announcement Thomas is banned from having any contact with members of the team! While he doesn't have an office, desk, phone or chair Thomas can still speak to Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan, but only after saying "Donnie may I?" Walsh strafed the smoking rubble of Isiah Thomas' career in a recent interview saying, "He's answering to me and nobody's reporting to him." I wonder what the question is?
            
Life and sports intertwine in ways so wacky you can't even make it up...

KINSHASA (Reuters) - Police in Congo have arrested 13 suspected sorcerers accused of using black magic to steal or shrink men's ####es after a wave of panic and attempted lynchings triggered by the alleged witchcraft... Purported victims claimed sorcerers simply touched them to make their genitals shrink or disappear...

We finally know why the Patriots lost the Super Bowl to the Giants...

Forget the Iowa caucuses we have the real election right here. Cast your ballot for the real BCS Championship. In the interest of fairness I threw in three ringers, see if you can spot them. Remember they are pro's while the rest, god bless their enthusiastic hearts, are amateurs whose Olympic cheerleading status remains intact. May the best man, or in this case, woman win, but we know who the real winners are here...unlike primaries, your vote actually counts here...

                     
The Pistons give their fans something to cheer about every night.
         
Don't know what the Oregon Ducks cheerleaders are doing, don't care.
          
Kansas U. makes me want to plow Delaware under and plant millions of acres of corn & wheat.
           
One potato, two potato, three potato, four, wow. LSU is number one in my heart.
            
Sing it Neil, "You are like a hurricane..."
              
Makes you want to be a gopher, don't it?
                           
What's sport without the mystery cheerleader? I have no idea where she pom-pom's...
               
I think it's pronounced "Miss-her-sip-puh" I could be wrong.
               
Finally a reason to like rugby that doesn't involve drinking and concussions.
              
Or later, your choice...
               
I have a question is that a team nickname or a plea for help?
              
If I only had one wish it would be to get a job as bow manager at the University of South Florida.
               
OK if you insist but only if we can take you home...
