Loyal reader Tom Schmieder is a big fan of sports and poetry. Here are a few limericks he wrote for us on the buried Red Sox jersey at the new Yankee Stadium and Tony Romo playing golf:
Red Sox jersey fan buried... resurrected
to eliminate Yank curses or hexes
But perhaps this explains
why we win so few games
All the rest buried their jerseys in Texas
Playing golf in the summer and off-days
Not why the big bucks Mr. Jones pays
Romo should focus more
on how Cowboys score
Making long drives in football not fairways
Don't mix football with golf anymore

A Smoking Gun.com article says rapper Akon is not what he purports to be.
Akon touted his past as the "ringleader of a notorious car theft operation" and a former convict who fought for his life during three years in prison. According to the Web site, he was neither.
The Smoking Gun investigation shows that he was given three years -- of probation -- for handgun possession and receiving stolen property (a BMW which he, himself, never stole). The story also tells a humorous tale of how the thieves that did steal the car dumped all the items inside it, including a classic guitar valued at $100,000, on the side of the road.
It's a long article, but worth it to see what great extents rappers will go to gain street cred.
