shut up tony stewart!

you know that's why people watch your dumb sport.

never did know when to keep that trap shut, did he?

lane kiffin got fined $10,000 for crying like a little baby about unfair officiating, after his 3-OT loss to stanford on saturday. coaches aren't allowed to publicly criticize officials.

Kiffin, the Trojans' second-year head coach, was upset about the way the end of regulation in the classic Coliseum game was handled, among other disputed instances. He has said he was promised by side judge Brad Glenn that he'd be awarded a timeout if it was ruled that receiver Robert Woods was tackled inbounds with one second left in the game.

He was not, and he said in his postgame press conference following USC's 56-48 triple-overtime loss that he was "extremely disappointed" with the officiating. He then said Sunday that he was "basically lied to" by the Pac-12 officials.

"The Pac-12 has specific rules that prohibit our coaches from making public comments about officiating, and this prohibition specifically includes comments that create doubts about the credibility of the conference's officiating program," conference commissioner Larry Scott said in a statement released late Monday. "The Conference expects each Pac-12 coach to adhere to our standards of conduct and to conduct himself or herself in a manner which will reflect credit on the institution and the Conference." (via)

jicydak, 311 is a genius idea mike bloomberg came up with. its what you call when you want something feeyuxed, but it's not an emergency. i've called twice. once, for a tow truck idling below my window during sleeping time. the other when there was steam coming out of my floorboards and my landlord couldn't figure out where it was coming from.

wired mag documented and infographic'd 35,000 of these calls to see what the hell new yorkers are cryin' about. check 'em out.

have you called 311? tell me everything.

thx midge!

susan dominus at the new york times is whining because the new pedestrian friendly street parks all over the city use cheap temporary furniture. um susan don't be stupid. people love those little parks. i can't believe you are complaining because times square isn't crowded and annoying like it used to be. also, the folding chairs are charming and you should be praising the city for not wasting money. its a recession you know.
