Roger Goodell says Ben Roethlisberger violated conduct policy; sources say conditional suspension likely

So hooking up with drunk chicks is against NFL policy? Might as well suspend them all now. If charges weren’t pressed then what he did might be in bad taste, but that is all.

ABSOLUT ANTHEM featuring New Order’s Ceremony. Apparently this is the most popular page at BIGJIM.org even though the page doesn’t exist any longer. So I’m reposting!

Mel Kiper Jr. doesn’t do bathroom breaks.

Perhaps that doesn’t seem like an incredible feat, but it helps to realize that ESPN will broadcast a total of 15 hours of live NFL draft coverage this week, and Kiper will be under the stage lights the entire time. In 16 years as his producer, Jay Rothman has never seen Kiper sneak away for even a quick break.

Two Apps My iPad Needs

Two things I’m missing on iPad so far are a good feed reader and Twitter client. I’m currently using Safari with the mobile sites for both but would prefer native apps. The two Twitter clients I have tried, Twitterrific and Tweetdeck, are both buggy, lack key features, & have dark backgrounds. I would prefer a Tweetie Twitter for iPad or Birdfeed Brizzly app, but not sure when / if those are coming. The only news reader I have considered is NetNewsWire but so far reviews on it are poor. Some have also complained the price is a bit high, but I would lay out $9.99 in a heartbeat for a full-featured google reader app.

Just like the iPhone, for me, apps make the platform. Hopefully the iPad apps will be coming fast and furious all summer as more devs get time to release the next killer app.
