Time to bend over, and inject.

The cycle starts now. Coming to you live and uncut from The Warehouse, in Atlanta, GA.

July 20th is normally not an important day in the sports world. Football season is a month and half away, baseball is just getting into the second half, the Tour de France is on an off day (yeah, I didn't know they stopped riding, either), Tiger didn't make the cut at The Open and NASCAR is gearing up for The Chase for the Cup, which might be the most unexciting playoff in sports (unless of course, you have an advanced enough degree to understand the rankings of PGA's FedEx Cup).

Or is it we are just still hungover from the summer of 2008? Lakers vs. Celtics? Phelps vs. the world?

We have traded the U.S. Women's Gymnastics Team vs. five Chinese boy scouts half their age for Tom Watson nearly defeating 80 golfers half his age.

But things are looking up. Manny is back from his 50-game Summer vacation to save the Dodgers from first place, and........hold on, this has just been handed to me.......Michael Vick is finally free!!! It appears the UFL may have a new face of the league. More on this later.

But most importantly, July 20 means the launch of a new forum for discussing sports--the truest form of entertainment and enjoyment in life--and the news and personalities that surround it. Performance Enhanced Blogging is where everyday sports fans can present any and every angle to every sports story (or nonstory) big and small. This site isn't for people who say, "It's just a game," or, "What does it matter what the Seahawks second string quarterback said to a Mexican-American immigrant at the gas station last night?" This site is for those that know sports matters.

Sports are what makes us happy...and sad...and angry...and moved...and turned on (see U.S. Women's Gymnastics team). Sports provide us the entire range of emotions possible. We do care. We are interested. We think--hold it, we know--sports matter. (And no, there will be no "now more than ever comment." We do not care about North Korea or Afghanistan or Kosovo or Global Warming or the Stock Market--though we will make completely uneducated and unneccesary comments about all of these and more undoubtedly, at some point.)

Our goal is to cultivate a place full of differing viewpoints. All are welcome. Be funny. Don't be stupid. We are douche bags, so don't think we can't spot them. Obviously insenstivity and bigotry are not accepted (unless it is really, really funny). So have fun, enjoy and remember...


...if you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'.






Oh, and Cleveland Cavalier Shaquille O'Neal will host Monday Night Raw next week. STAY TUNED***
