10) That Dirk Nowitzki's father wanted him to go in to professional handball over basketball. I mean, is there money in professional handball? Wouldn't being 7' be a disadvantage in handball?

9) The fact that I have no will power when it comes kettle corn or honey wheat pretzels. Case in point: I polished off an entire bag at 2AM last night.

8) Trying to keep all the World Cup games straight. Ivory Coast, Trinidad, Sweden, Germany, Costa Rica, England, Iran...who has one point, who has two?

7) Bumbling sports announcers. Example: Game 1 of the NBA Finals, first quarter. Dirk got popped in the face by Shaq's monstrous elbow and of course, it caused Dirk to flinch...the reporters told it like this: "Well folks, in that last time out, Dirk sat down and a trainer came over and spoke to him for 45 seconds and asked him "are you okay?" and Dirk said "yes" and then Dirk touched his face twice, took two sips out of two different clear-liquid bottles and then whipped his face with his towel. I think he'll be back in the game." I mean, seriously!

6) The fact that Barry Bonds won't talk to special investigator, George Michael (opps...I mean Mitchell) unless he gets immunity from federal prosecutors. Hahaha...can we say "guilty?"

5) Did you know that 40% of NASCAR fans are female and that 75% of NASCAR fans went to college? Guess it destroys the idea that most NASCAR fans are rednecks, especially when 35% of NASCAR fans make over $50,000 a year.

4) David Beckham may be trashy, but he is still G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S!!!

3) Regardless of how much I studied or paid money for a test-preparation class, my GRE scores still came out average. At least they are good enough to get in to school, but it just proves the fact that standardized tests are pointless in predicting your competency as a student.

2) Frank Solich, ex-Nebraska coach and current head coach for Ohio University, is fighting a drunk-driving conviction based on the fact that GHB, the date-rape drug, was found in his system. Uh...I didn't know men could use that excuse too.
