FanHouse: Tue AM 'The Definitive Christ Benoit Memorial' Edition

Never underestimate the well of goodwill out there for professional wrestling: Our memorial for Chris Benoit has over 300 comments and counting, but the definitive take on the diminutive wrestler may come halfway down in today's DeBriefing. MJD invites one fan from those legions to talk about what made Benoit such a pro. Check it out.

And scroll all the way down for the cute overload of Tiger's baby next to a Labradoodle.

The Debriefing: Too Early for Fantasy Football? Yes? Well, I'm Doing It Anyway
This is not what the first round of your draft will (or should) look like. If your first round lasts 12 picks, at least 10 of them are going to be running backs ... but a list comprised entirely of running backs would be boring. I'm a believer in diversity.

Cheers,

MLB:
Pedro MartinezWoman Falls in Love with 'Pedro Martinez,' Wastes $1 Million Dollars: You see that man on the right? That's Pedro Martinez, the real Pedro Martinez. Even though he probably has a lot of time on his hands considering he's been on the disabled list all year, we now know that he hasn't used that time to court middle-aged chiropractors in Florida.

Ken Griffey Jr. Wants To Retire as a Mariner: I know he says it's not going to be a few years, but it's pretty obvious he's already thinking about getting out of Cincy.

A-Rod: Barry Bonds Probably Greatest Ever: I called Eric Bynes a credible source when he deemed Barry the best in history. But now, you have the best current hitter in the game calling Barry probably the greatest player ever.

NBA:
Report: Lakers, Wolves Talking Garnett to L.A.: Draft Week is off to a thrilling start: The Lakers and Timberwolves are discussing a multiple-team deal which would send Kevin Garnett to join Kobe Bryant in Los Angeles, according to Mike Bresnahan of the Los Angeles Times.

Competitive Drinking: It's Already Here: That is a clip from the 2002 World Beer Games, and that is also a pint of beer disappearing in 2.8 seconds, the standing world record for the event. It's a small data pool because it only seems to have occurred in one year (2002) and is currently seeking sponsors and funding for the future.

Don't Feel Bad About Leering at Maria Sharapova: She Does It, Too Sharapova was at a pre-Wimbledon party, and she had an interesting encounter with a fellow guest:

Tiger Woods Shares His Baby Pics: I think maybe it's because there's such a perception that Tiger was endowed from birth with the ability to be the greatest golfer of all time, that we're just waiting to see what great talent young Sam has.
