Greed Is Good

Look kids! Another wonderful, semi-regular feature from West Side Slant, aimed at staying current without having to do any real work. Wednesdays are tough enough as it is without having to come up with what we like to call "material" around here. Therefore, we'll rely on the rest of the Internet for content and shamelessly promote blogs that we like. Speaking of shameless, stay tuned for the seamless segue mentioning our new sponsor later in the post. We're not selling out, we're buying in baby! Bud Fox was a puss.

Money Players, a site dedicated to the facts and figures of big money ballplayers weighs in on the Michael Vick situation.

Speaking of greed, Garret Anderson was hording RBI like they were going out of style the other night. Our friends at The Hater Nation had something to say about his detractor(s). THN is a pretty cool site, and the post comments are always worth checking out.

Switching from greed to desperation, America's least favorite tomato can, Peter McNeeley has announced his intention to return to the ring. Apparently, his 'boys' are better swimmers than he was a fighter. Similac ain't exactly cheap, so it looks like it's time for Pete to get his face smashed in for cash...again. Being a human body-bag has got to suck on so many different levels. Maybe all of the frontal lobe damage makes it tolerable. Check out The Sweet Science for the full story.

Does anybody care what the Ottawa Senators new sweater will look like? I didn't think so. But The Universal Cynic sure the hell does. Hey, we all have our crosses to bear. TUC is a top-rate commentator stuck in a one-horse town. Bookmark it, and check back when the NHL and NFL are in full swing.
