In keeping with the theme of the Report this week’s Summertime Tip is going out to a ball game. We know the game hasn’t been the same in the modern era, but still, sunflower seeds and overpriced draft light beer, doesn’t that still say America? and Summer? Get out there, and root for the home team, as they say.
And not to over do it with the All-Star nostalgia, but here’s the first home run in an All Star game, back when PEDs were whiskey and cigars. 1933, The Babe.

The SFGate’s Bleacher Report is always hilarious, and today, they ranked the Top 15 athletes with short fuses. They give Sean Avery a #14, a Serena Williams #6, Andy Roddick at #4 (notice the tennis stuff), Milton Bradley #3, Ron Artest gets a big #2, and coming in at #1... the Cubs Carlos Zambrano.
We definitely think it should be Artest… or McEnroe.

Colbert tried to sell Martin a portrait. It was a painting of Colbert, in front of a painting of Colbert, in front of a painting of Colbert, and so on. Shepard called it “beyond aesthetic redemption” and then covered it in graffiti. Too many of our favorite people all here in one little segment.

Everyone has done their part in trying to cut off the increasing radiation one gets at a doctor’s office, but apparently dentists don’t really want to play that game as much. Which is awesome, considering the x-ray machine being pointed directly at your fucking skull when the shoot and re-shoot that one tooth pic. How many times have you said to a dentist, “Um, you think you got that one?” We do it all the time, makes them nervous.
As the Times reports,
Orthodontists and other specialists are embracing a new scanning device that emits significantly more radiation than conventional methods, an examination by The New York Times has found.
Designed for dental offices, the device, called a cone-beam CT scanner, provides brilliant 3-D images of teeth, roots, jaw and even skull. This technology, its promoters say, is a safe way for orthodontists and oral surgeons to work with more precision and to identify problems that otherwise might go unnoticed.
But there is little independent research to validate these claims. Instead, the cone beam’s popularity has been fueled in part by misinformation about its safety and efficacy, some of it coming from dentists paid or sponsored by manufacturers to give speeches, seminars and continuing education classes, as well as by industry-sponsored magazines and conferences, according to records and dozens of interviews with dentists and researchers.
Oh, just great. Read the full report here.

We have a new member of the Upper Playground/Citrus Report family, the hip-hop site, Nothing Can Save You. Its sort of like us where the writing is a tad tongue and cheek, and its not like us because they know more about hip-hop than we do.
Check it out. Say hi to them.
