Yes, I know it is random to blog about urinals… but, check these out.  But, apparently, these are in Vienna…

The Toilet-Bar Vienna is a small public bathroom located in an underpass near the National Opera. As you can see from the photo above, this is no ordinary bathroom. For the small price of just 75 cents, patrons of the urinal arts can relieve themselves in some of the most decorative urinals ever conceived by man.

Actually, the thought of pee’ing in these sort’ve freaks me out.  Personally, I prefer the trough.  Every man should agree that the day the trough started being fazed out of sports venues was a sad day, indeed.

How many times have you had to wait at the trough?

By the way, the article goes on to explain that …

Unfortunately, someone blabbed their mouth off to the opposite gender and local women’s rights groups eventually forced the proprietors to remove the sexist objects.

How is this sexist?  Take a joke!  Strange … yes.  Sexist… I don’t know about that one.

So, do you really think Lance Briggs was NOT drinking….

Let’s see, it was 3:00 in the morning, he had left two clubs, and he demolishes his car… oh, and he sneaks off into the night… I think I am going to be a realist here and go with “he was LOADED”. And, then, Lovie says…

Now how do we get to that far? We have a one-car accident and now alcohol is involved? I think that’s stretching it a little bit to go that far.

Love, don’t make yourself sound completely stupid. It is not about the one car accident. Look, at the circumstances. It is better to say “I have no comment” than make a totally jackass comment.

I just watched the Vick apology… gotta say… I don’t think he is “ashamed” of what he did. I think, however, he is ashamed that he got caught and the world knows about it.

Look, being ashamed for one’s conduct is reserved for DUIs, cheating on spouses, and other things where you aren’t thinking straight. In contrast, killing dogs over a period of time shows a pattern of contemplation and conduct. I don’t buy it.

So, now Vick is in a box. All three of his fellow potential defendants are accepting deals and have agreed to testify against Vick if the case were to go to trial.

Wow, with buddies like this… who needs enemies?

It will be interesting to see how this plays out for Vick. I think we can pretty much all say that Vick will not be playing in 2007. That’s a given. And, if he it is shown that he bet on these dogs … well… that goes against league conduct policies. As such, he will get a lifetime ban. So, in a plea agreement, he cannot agree to that.

So, it will be interesting to see what kind of deal he gets - if, at all. With the forces stacking up against him, I think it would be smart for him to accept a deal.

My projection is… he gets a deal that lands him in the slammer for 6 months.

So, now, Barry is fed up. And, he is tired of being kicked around. So, what’s he going to do? …. hire two big time lawyers and go after - note this and follow me here - not the people who said he was using steroids… but, he is going to go after the people who said that he said he was using steroids….

“Barry is basically saying that he has been kicked around a lot and he is tired of being kicked around,” Burris said. “Our issue is really about statements that are made that are attributed to him that are not true. Particularly, statements that someone might say he made about the use of steroids or tax evasion.”

In his press release, Burris referred to Bonds’ former girlfriend, who made accusations in a Playboy article, and a former business partner who supposedly told the FBI that Bonds had evaded taxes, as examples of what kind of statements he would investigate.

Note, he has very little to say about people’s accusations that he uses steroids… interesting that he is taking the “high and mighty” role and going after the people who say that he says he used steroids.

This is all ridiculous anyway. It is merely designed to be a PR ploy. Anyone who has had 2nd semester torts in law school knows the incredible burden, as a public figure, that he must overcome to prevail in a slander or defamation suit.
