My blogging vacation continues with an appearance on Treehouse Fort tonight, talking NBA playoffs and NFL draft. I should rest this often when I’m dead, I tell you…

From Adrian Wojnarowski’s column at Yahoo! Sports:
Whatever (Josh) Howard’s take (on marijuana use in the NBA), he didn’t need to breathe life into a week-old newspaper story that no one noticed by volunteering to on the radio and make matters worse within hours of Game 3. Of course, one of ESPN’s NBA house organs was calling the game, chastising Howard for dragging other NBA players into the story.
Quite frankly, I love what he’s done here.
(Okay, mostly taking two days off. Mostly.)

The Last Two Days of Tuffy History:
- The Patriots’ lawyers enjoy hubris as well.
- Baseball will let you know when you’re thirsty and how you’ll deal with it.
- My traditional mid-April smoking bingo story.
- An excuse to post a picture of the Jordan douche screencap.
- My *favorite* piece of the week. Old people will understand.
- An excuse to post the Robin Ventura-Nolan Ryan “fight”.
- I love the pictures in this piece. Mad props to the Honolulu Advertiser.
- Groin abuse.
Tonight, the Treehouse Fort gets all NFL Drafty. Bring duct tape.
Also, I’m really looking forward to the Ladies… coming by SPORTSbyBROOKS for the NFL Draft all weekend. Their liveblog ought to be event Internet. I’ll check in all weekend on them.
I’m also running a liveblog Sunday at SPORTSbyBROOKS: Angels vs. Tigers, 8 pm ET. You know what happened the last time the Christians and the Tigers tangled…
After that, I’m taking a couple days off the grid to recharge and make bail. So come by Sunday if you are into hot Tilde action. Otherwise, see you next week!
(Update: Liveblog canceled. Naptime approved. See you at the draft!)
(Update 2: I forgot that I wrote a piece of this article. Really, that’s not a good sign.)
It’s Brooks Spaghetti Night!

Two Days in the Tuffy History:
- Bob Knight golfing with you. And by you, I mean “you and not me”.
- Investigative journalism and pornography. I think I’ve been down this road before…
- I was at the Cubs game Tuesday. Here’s proof.
- Goodbye, Tiger Stadium. (We can’t miss you until you leave, though.)
- Benny the Bull deserves his own Fox reality series.
- Do you think Pacman Jones liked Lord of the Rings?
- I’m afraid my Photoshop just makes it look like Isiah is smelling his finger.
- Brewers buzz tower.
Tonight, I’m trying new liveblog software at SportsbyBrooks. It should make it easier to chat during the Yankees-White Sox tilt tonight. Or be a disaster so epic that Gene Hackman will have to save us. So stop by, eh? 8:11 pm ET first pitch; game’s on ESPN.
Brooks. Just… Brooks.

Today in Tuffy History:
- European cheerleaders need us to dance with them.
- Melrose Park has a big Little League problem.
- I make a really unfortunate joke.
- Duck Fuke: Baseball edition.
Sunday’s liveblog was such a success that I’ll be doing another one Wednesday. Details to come.
Monday’s Treehouse Fort seems to have archived, so please enjoy a series of flights of fancy.
Their Prowess is Potent

Best of luck today to the marathoners in Boston. Try to avoid turning an ankle on a passed-out patriot beneath you on the route. Between yesterday’s holiday and today’s, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a mobile college student in Boston by this evening
Next Brooksday
Friday, April 18th, 2008Today in Tuffy History:
- Cubs fans, you disappoint me.
- Jim Tressel, you impress me.
- Mike Wise, you annoy me.
- Dan Le Batard, you make me jealous.
Another live blog Sunday at Sports by Brooks: game to be determined. See you there!
UPDATE: Live blog’s up!
Christmas Ape (Michael Tunison) on Treehouse Fort
Friday, April 18th, 2008
Tonight, we’re blowing the doors out on an expanded 90-minute Treehouse Fort. Matt Sussman and I speak to Michael Tunison from Kissing Suzy Kolber, now famously formerly of the Washington Post. We’ll talk about the events of the past week, his plans for the future, and favorite excrement jokes.
Also, Goathair from The Blowtorch will break down the NBA playoffs for us, new school. I will fondly reminisce about George Mikan.
Finally, we bus’ some fools up with Charlie Doherty in his ribald “What Were They Thinking?” segment. Bring the kids!

Thursday, April 17th, 2008Today in Tuffy History:
- Baseball teams are still rich (with Bud Selig Photoshop!)
- L.A. wants a stadium… except maybe they don’t
- Chicago’s Olympic bid in trouble? Or a shakedown?
- Aaron Gray gets punched in the groin… and it’s funny!
- Bye bye Boylan (with Photoshop!)
Also, CeCe you at the Big Tilde.
