Well Shaun White is on a roll this year - 2 golds so far at the AST Dew Tour, and his first Vert Gold at the X Games - he's chasing the legend of Tony Hawk in a big way.
13 was a pretty good X Games overall, although I wish they didn't scratch the best trick skate vert comp. 'Unbreakable' Jake...
Jake just called in to talk to Sal and he says he has a bruised kidney, bruised lung, a fractured rib, minor fracture on one of his vertebrae, and whiplash (obvious when you see how his head hit). He sounds a little out of it (pain meds are fun), but otherwise he's in pretty good shape and looks...
Murray's slam was hard, but it wasn't that bad at all - he was almost done rotating and not in danger of landing on his head (which I thought was going to happen to Travis last year). What made his dangerous was how the clutch jammed and the bike went after him as soon as he rolled away, but his...
He has a contused liver - unbelievably, he's OK otherwise. He's probably going to be released tomorrow from the trauma unit. The man fell about 5 stories high, landed on solid wood like a rag doll, and barely got injured - Australians are by far the toughest SOB's on this planet!
Edited to add...
Haven't been able to find anything on his conditions yet, but I caught something on ESPN a short while ago that sounded like punctured lung and lacerated liver - but those were injuries that happened to a BMX rider last year and I was only half paying attention as I reached for the remote, so...
Jake Brown is the toughest/luckiest man alive, and he probably shouldn't be. He drops in from the 80 foot high ramp, launches over the 70 foot wide gap while spinning 720 degrees (2 full turns with the skateboard) and lands perfectly on the other side. After landing one of the sickest tricks...
I like stuff with lots of Latakia and Perique for flavor. Mac Baren's HH Vintage Syrian (about half Syrian Latakia), and Dunhill's Nightcap are two of my favorites because of their strong latakia blends, along with stuff like Grey Havens and Frog Morton's on the Bayou.
Shorpy - a cool site that features photos from the past 100 years - has some cool pictures of cigar factories in Ybor City from 1909:

Chavo and Dean were amazing during the tribute - I don't envy either of them (or Rey). They are far too young to be losing their close family and best friends in such tragic ways.
I just saw another report alluding to that (although the calling in sick because his family was coughing up blood...
Not sure if there are any wrestling fans out there, but this is just freaking me out:
Chris Benoit and family found dead
I've read reports that said he didn't show up to last night's pay-per-view (where he was allegedly supposed to win the ECW title) or a house show the night before because...
Apparently Padron 1926's!
Caught Sunday night on a fishing boat with some friends, after much caffeine and an Añejo. Of course the one who is actually a father caught nothing :p
After waiting for 10 years since Fallout 2, the first official teaser for it's successor, Fallout 3, was released today. Bethesda, wisely following the traditions set by FO 1 & 2, made sure to add in what was named the Most Memorable Video Game Quote, and the teaser film looks freaking amazing...
The great thing is there are no "real" lyrics - although most found on the net will fit, none were ever written down, and he changes stuff every time he sings it (my brother's band used to have a song like that - must be an 'artistic thing' :p ). I have both singles it was released on, and...
The one on the right hurts to look at for too long and could be distracting when it's not supposed to be the focal point. The one on the left has a lot of subtle detail that is easier to absorb (it just looks better), plus it matches the business cards which I thought were awesome the first time...
