THIS WEEK IN ATHLETICS-RELATED STUPIDITY >>>

Every week the Volcano's Cup Check column comes to you on Thursdays, like a present from a long-lost, chemically-dependent friend you didn't realize you wanted. After a full week of intense research and scrutiny, carefully concocting my thoughts and diligently gathering information, I sit down and pound out a bunch of fairly-sophomoric jokes about professional jocks and the world they live in. It's a pretty sweet gig. Again, we call it Cup Check ...

This week, in what should come as a shock to no one, now indefinitely-suspended Jets strength and conditioning coach Sal Alosi draws the Cup Check spotlight, along with Mike Vick, Cliff Lee and Carmelo Anthony.

Check it out here.

And, if you've got a minute, take a gander at the video below. Through the magic of YouTube, it seems I'm not the only person providing commentary on the Sal Alosi saga.
