    I like the quotes from Screamin' A. and Wilbon.

    I thought it was going to say MJ got back with Juanita -- just so he could cheat on her. Womanizing isn't as hot and dangerous when you're single.

    The "he wanted another shot at a ring" line is pretty damn good. The Onion's depth of humor always amazes me. Jamming funny stuff in every nook and cranny. (have fun with the quote function)

    Can we all just agree that The Onion represents the pinnacle of journalism?

    P.S. There was an article about this in ESPN. They claimed it was their scoop first.

    I dunno about pinnacle of journalism, but it is the pinnacle of humor in America today.

    I love the "related story" on the right side of the page: "Augusta National Honors Tiger Woods With Own Drinking Fountain."

    This one is even better: "Daytona 500 Honors Dale Earnhardt's Memory With Wall Of Fame Across Track"

    I thought this was pretty funny:

    Sports Fan On The Street
    On The Annual NFL Offseason Coaching Job Hunt

    "It's an oddly inspiring part of the sports calendar that reminds me that I may be homeless and orally pleasuring strangers for food money, but at least I'm not Dennis Green."
