In this column, the world learns that Reilly, a confirmed blog-hater and maker of "mom's-basement" jokes, has a personal website where he posts random thoughts on whatever suits his fancy. Um… Rick?

Valentine's Day Weekend, the Memphis Grizzlies' Marko Jaric eloped with his Brazilian supermodel girlfriend, Adriana Lima. Strangely, martial bliss doesn't seem to be helping his game.

Baseball America has finished posting it's list of the Top 100 prospects. Fun to browse, but will even half these kids see time in the big leagues? Meh. Here's a baseball story we like more: Athlete Makes Funny Ad.
Everyone at the Grinder, as readers know, couldn't be more gripped by the momentous, earth-shattering news that Alex Rodriguez used steroids. Thankfully, Selena Roberts' expose in Sports Illustrated was just a teaser for a book whose publication has been moved up to April. Apparently, "A-Rod: The Many Lives of Alex Rodriguez" includes salacious details about Rodriguez sex life. (No, we aren't linking to it.)
Just imagine! A big league baseball player who likes sex. That is a stunner. Seriously? The Grinder is trying to think of a way to protest our massive indifference to this story, and maintain that every moment spent watching, listening to, or reading about A-Rod is time that could be better spent scrubbing toilets in a Mexican jail.
