Highlight reels are great, but some recent bombshells from the sporting world have mushroomed beyond acceptable levels of over-analysis: Slate posted a hilarious minute-by-minute breakdown of Kevin Garnett‘s surreal Sally Field moment after his Boston Celtics won the title; Tiger Woods‘ injury at the US Open last week continues to get the Omaha Beach treatment, complete with details on the sounds of his knee bone grinding; the firing of New York Mets manager Willie Randolph has become the Manhattan Project. And it’s CSI: Detroit as details continue to emerge about how the Red Wings dented the Stanley Cup during drunken hijinx in Hockeytown.
