If you’re like me, you’ll confidently reblog this first, and ask questions later. And anyone who wants to take the pussy way out and give it a “like” - guess what? We’re done.
On Sunday, I was apparently at the same party as Jason Statham and I didn’t see him or get a chance to say hello. I promise you, not a minute goes by where I don’t think about what could have been.

Whatever you think of the guy, this is just bad, bad news for sports.

I am going to buy a Wii, but I’d rather not do the whole informed consumer thing.
