If your eyebrow is still in a raised position with regards to Rockstar’s foray into the explosive, prostitute-less world of Table Tennis, be sure to grab the newly served demo from the Xbox Live Marketplace. Coming in at 526MB, the curtailed code should give you fine opportunity to beat innocent balls senseless and engage in more back-and-forth whacking than a Sopranos episode.
Feel free to gawk at the shiny graphics and the ball physics, but don’t make the crucial mistake of forgetting to press the green button. You can be sure that Conrad’s sister will capitalize and promptly crush your ego in the palm of her adorable hand.

Update: Major Nelson made this addition to his blog:
“Hey, I forgot to post that this is a limited time demo. (sorry about that) That means that you can only download it and play it until the end of August. After that…the title will not work, even if you have already downloaded it! So get it and play it while it lasts!”
Looks like someone’s worried the demo might be a little too good.

Admit it: You wouldn’t be surprised, at this point, if Carson Palmer was nailed for sticking up a Dairy Queen somewhere just outside Blue Ash, would you?
Continuing their rather outstanding string of off-season malfeasance, the Bengals announced today that linebacker Odell Thurman, their first second-round draft pick last season, will miss the first four games for failing a drug test. He is one of six — count ‘em! — Bengals who have “embarrassed” the team in the offseason.
In case you’ve forgotten, the biggest hero of this was Chris Henry, who was arrested four times in six months, culminating in a trifecta of 18-year-old, 17-year-old and 15-year-old goodness.
We know not to call them the Trail Blazers of the NFL, so we’ll simply say this: We full expect Carl Monday to be sitting outside Bengals training camp. Something has to be going on.

In case you happen to be in the D.C. area and in need of a drink tonight, stop by Carpool in Arlington around 7pm for the first-ever (that I know of) D.C. Sports Bloggers Happy Hour. Here’s the list of expected attendees, you know, if any of them decide to show…
· Off Wing Opinion
· Awful Announcing
· Kissing Suzy Kolber
· Banks of the Anacostia
· Burnt Orange Nation
· Japers’ Rink
· DCenters
· William Yurasko
· Saved by the Blog
· Year of the Bird
So, as I told the fellows, the women of North Arlington should be on the lookout tonight as there will be bloggers about with ungodly statistical insights and typing abilities. All are welcome, just look for the guy with the No Mas Native American shirt and awkward social grace, because that would be me.
Update: If Japers’ Rink is coming, I’m sure there will be a lot of this going on…
Yes, that’s apparently new Islanders GM Garth Snow!

While I was out Ozzie Smith stopped by the SBL studio (via phone, of course) for Monday’s show, which was ably hosted by my kid brother Chris. I’m not sure what the Wiz had to say about all things baseball and backflips, but I have heard it was a good interview and here it is for your listening pleasure…
Ozzie Smith on SBL
And here are the other interviews from Monday’s show as conducted by special host Chris the Intern…
Baseball Prospectus’ Will Carroll
Golf Magazine’s Connell Barrett
Sporting News NASCAR expert Matt Crossman
Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio
The full show (mp3)
Also, it should be mentioned that SBL co-host Brad Parker’s Inside the Parker won the coveted Blog of the Week award for nothing more than suffering a brutal softball injury from sliding into third (he was called out to boot). Feel encouraged to follow track the healing process, because it’s as funny as it is disgusting and painful.
