Screw the British, Dirk and Wife Announce Their Own Royal Offspring

DALLAS - Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki is a first-time father.
His team has confirmed that Jessica Olsson, the wife of the 2007 NBA MVP, has given birth to a daughter today, something reported by German newspaper Bild earlier in the day.
"I am proud to be a grandfather for the third time," Nowitzki's father, Jörg, told the paper. Nowitzki's sister, Silke, has two children.
The name has not been disclosed. Nowitzki and his wife were married in Dallas on July 20, 2012, in a quiet ceremony.

The big German just can't miss. Bangin' the bottom out of that open bucket with that high leg kick like it's his MVP year. Who says he's out of his prime? Sure diluting the Master race may upset the Motherland, but just wait twenty-two years when their women's national team is getting torched by an unguardable seven footer with a fadeaway jump shot as pure as their lineage. Brittney Griner better enjoy the precious few remaining years of her collegiate records.

FDA Doing It Big Per Usual, Bans Dallas Lab's Workout Secret's Jack3d and OxyElite Pro

DALLAS - USP Labs' Dallas headquarters doesn't actually look much like a laboratory. It's more of a nondescript warehouse in a sea of nondescript warehouses off Stemmons Freeway and Northwest Highway. That's where the company keeps its stock of its bodybuilding supplements for shipping to retailers like GNC or directly through its website.

One of its most popular products was Jack3d...
But Jack3d does more than boost workouts. It also allegedly kills people, most notably two soldiers who suffered fatal heart attacks during Army workouts after taking the product. That led the Defense Department to ban the product and others containing a compound called dimethylamylamine, or DMAA, from stores on its bases. Earlier this year, the Food and Drug Administration issued a public alert, warning consumers to steer clear of DMAA-containing products after confirming 86 reports of illness and death.

The agency has since been working with supplement companies to get DMAA off the shelves. According to a piece in The New York Times on Tuesday, USP Labs agreed to reformulate Jack3d and another product, OxyElite Pro, to make them DMAA free, which made the FDA happy. Then, it went about selling its remaining inventory of the product as usual, which did not.

Come on FDA, do you even lift, bro? Gym rats like me don't need some pencil-pushing government bureaucrat telling me what I can and can't eat, drink, snort, or inject to get that chiseled blogger's look like you read about. Whether its pushing that last bench set or crafting that hilarious, deadline-beating blog post, sometimes you just need a little nudge. Coffee, cocaine, topless interns, and innocent fat-burners that have only killed or injured a meager 86 amateurs are all in play if you want to remain a media tycoon in this town.
