I see that the Yanks also flogged the Lithuanians 90-56. I think the Lithuanians would kind of be pleased to be going home after the start to the tournament they had.

Anyone else been reading Tully Bevilaqua's diary? (latest entry here).

It's been quite entertaining and informative, if for no other reason that I've never seen a photo of Lauren Jackson holding up her underpants before (scroll down to second pic).

And apropos of absolutely nothing at all, here's today's wacky sports story: link.

It's the tale of the IBF middleweight boxing champ, Arthur Abraham, who's obsessed with the Smurfs - to the point where he enters the ring to the Smurf theme music and wears a gold Smurf-like hat. (!)

But the Smurfs are not happy about this, and are suing his arse.

This must be one of the best sports stories of the year.
