Shame on me. How oh how will I ever make it up to her?

Look, I make my fair share of mistakes. Some of my (severely broke and suddenly former) friends would say more than my fair share.

Point is, I don’t need the U.S. House Oversight Committee to let me know when I’ve, in fact, overlooked something. No, I’ve got you loyal – dare I say, rabid? – readers for that.

Last week I posted a couple Top 10 lists – Cowboys’ losses and Hottest athletes – that, on second thought, require revisiting. Perhaps even a tweaked addendum.

Included among the Cowboys’ all-time most embarrassing losses should’ve been the Oct. 19, 1987 loss to the Washington Redskins. The "Scab Game", if you will. Before a Monday Night Football audience, a team of Redskins’ scabs beat a team of strike-ignoring Cowboys, led by Danny White, Tony Dorsett, Randy White and Ed “Too Tall” Jones, 13-7, in Texas Stadium. The game sparked Keanu Reeves in The Replacements. Ouch.

And though my Hottest Female Athletes list was mostly applauded and even accepted and promoted by Men’s Fitness, it too needs a slight edit. You are right, hearty, horny Sportatoriumites, California pole vaulter Allison Stokke deserves a spot on my list.

Tell you what, I'll tradeja Danica Patrick and a future spot on my upcoming Top 10 Biggest Oversights on my Top 10 Lists. Deal? – Richie Whitt
