Good news for those of you who use Siri: The Apple application will be answering sports questions, which is good apparently. Because if you watch commercials, the app seems to only be designed to break golf tee times for Sam Jackson, tell John Malkovich some corny jokes and help Zooey Deschanel seem more adorable and quirky (which seems impossible).

Now Siri will be able to help out with sports questions from scores to game times. Which is cool. Because there are times when you will be stumped to remember who won the Heisman Trophy in 1998. Was it Ron Dayne or Ricky Williams? (It was Ricky.)

But how about some real useful questions for Siri … like will Chad Ochocinco play for the Dolphins this year? Will Tim Tebow be the Jets’ starting quarterback? Or why does Mike Shanahan hate your fantasy team?

My guess is that not even technology can help you with those questions. What questions would you have for Siri?
