Uncle Milty is back in the news, this time playing the race card<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Seriously, Milton. Even if Jeff Kent were playing second base wearing a hood, have you ever<\/em> paused to look in the mirror? Or even think for a moment or two before you speak? Because it really doesn’t look like it.<\/p>\n

The only thing I take from this latest tirade (aside from the cleverly placed use of the third person) is the shock that only 9% of major leaguers are black. With 25-man rosters for each of 32 (I think?) teams, that makes for roughly 70 black players. Seems a little low, if ya ask me. It’s late, but if anyone can dig up a link that breaks that sort of thing down, please do. Thinking about most pitchers being white (it seems) and the influx of Latin American players, I think Milton might be close, but if the percentage of black major leaguers is less than even 20%, I’d be pretty shocked. <\/p>\n

And today’s question on the “Texas Rangers SAT” is:<\/p>\n

Chris Young : good :: CJ Wilson : ______________
\na) bad
\nb) shitty
\nc) abysmal
\nd) one step ahead of putting a brain dead chimp on the mound<\/p>\n

For those still doubting the goodwill of the Cincinnati men’s basketball program, ESPN’s Pat Forde has a pretty good rundown<\/a> right here. Check out paragraph five, the one that wraps around that stunning photo of UC President Nancy Zimpher. <\/p>\n

(But really, who could forget Art Long going Mongo on a horse?)<\/p>\n

Finally, one for Brian at mgoblog<\/a>…<\/p>\n

The University of Tennessee is going to retire Peyton Manning’s jersey<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Maybe they can put it on display next to his Heisman Trophy:
