Daily Dose: June 20 - So....

I literally just sat down to do this, and I was thinking to myself - "Self, what do I think?"
I didnt really have much to offer by way of the Sox/Cubs game (Sox can't hit, etc etc), Bulls (God, when is this draft already?!) or Bears (Forte on verge of holdout)... and then, as is usually the case, the world of sports does not disappoint...

I find this.

There's a lot about sports that you shouldn't give a rats ass about, but this has got to be right up there with dumbest things we've read this year...

this sentence alone is ridiculous:
"Forensic scientists say champion Australian gelding Phar Lap died of arsenic poisoning, solving a mystery that has intrigued the horse racing world for more than 75 years."

then this little gem: "Phar Lap's mounted hide is on display at the Melbourne Museum, while his heart is kept at the National Museum of Australia in Canberra."

Wha? Huh?
Hey, what's Barbaro up to?
You know, I think Eight Belles took a dive mysteriously!
Dig 'em up, slice 'em up, freeze their heads, rah rah rah....
And ya know, I think we need to re-examine how Kartoum bit the dust as well...I'm not sure the initial diagnosis was correct..
