Since the Dolphins, Heat and Hurricanes all suck, we tell South Floridians how they should better spend their time.
Plus, the Bleacher Bloggers Royal Shakespearian Troupe performs an ARod-Boras reenactment; we lament Barry Bonds and his giant head and share some lowlights from the college football world.

-Tim Couch used steroids and HGH? How could anyone use not one, but TWO performance enhancers and still be THAT bad?
-Drew Henson was released by the Minnesota Vikings on Monday. It's interesting how fast highly touted two-sport athletes can become zero-sport athletes.
-Mike Mussina has been pulled from the Yankees rotation, at least for one game. It would be utterly shocking to see him again this season, even with the supremely erratic Yankees pitching staff.
-Barry Bonds' record...
The new announcements regarding the Mitchell investigation, even with the injection of first-hand testimony from ex-Mets ballboy Kirk Radomski, is meaningless. That's right, I said it, it's meaningless. Meaningless to everyone except for older sports journalists and fans, that is, who still rail about it endlessly. Perhaps it breaks down into an age thing, where younger fans are more realistic and less starry-eyed about the way sports in the modern world works.
Mind you, I'm not saying I condone...
It's a busy day in the Bleacher Blogging world. Today we're talking Celtics, Barry Bonds and even the Washington Nationals. That's right ... the Washington Nationals!

It has been a tough summer for sports, to say the least. Between the sickening Vick dogfighting indictment and the horrifying details coming out surrounding that situation and the NBA referee scandal, I can’t remember a time when horrid sports stories dominated the sports universe and mainstream world news (closest would be the “Malice in the Palace” a few years back.)
Thankfully, those stories have fallen off of the front page, off of the sports talk shows and off of the Sportscenter loop for now. ...
With Bonds’ 756th home run clearing the right center field fence last night in San Francisco, speculation began immediately in my mind regarding the value of the ball for the lucky fan who caught it. Certainly we will all find out soon enough with the inevitable auction that will determine the price, but until then, (much like his career) let the speculation run rampant!
It’s ironic that this comes the same week that has a fan holding out A-Rod’s 500th home run ball for as much as he can get for it.
What an over hyped mess this Bonds home run chase is. Now, its no surprise that Bonds is one of the most hated athletes on the planet (perhaps of all time) mostly because of his attitude toward the press and fans of baseball who don't reside in San Francisco. Of course, most people will claim they hate Bonds for "what he represents" in baseball, clearly indicating the belief that Bonds achieved his numbers using performance enhancing substances.
Now, it is true that Bonds has never tested positive...
