Charles Barkley, the man who makes a living off of speaking truth to the power of sports figures and commentators that we all kind of hate, is on record as saying that ESPN's Skip Bayless is "one of the two people [he'd] like to kill." But since murder is kind of bad for one's public image, Chuck just resorts to talking shit about Bayless as much as he can. More »

When David Beckham left Real Madrid five years ago for what was billed as a "million-dollar-a-week" deal with the L.A. Galaxy, he said that he had two goals: He wanted to win an MLS championship, and he wanted to use his name to help raise the league's profile. More »

Working on his golf game? Check. Mystery blonde? Check. Series of pictures purchased from a photo agency, slapped with a few words about how Alex Rodriguez didn't play good baseball and how he should feel bad about it all winter, and trumpeted as a Post exclusive? You better believe it. More »

Sam Borden's got a column on SI.com today, idly wondering if Jeter will become the first player in history to be unanimously elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. It's a question that shouldn't matter because HOF voting is so flaky — Tom Seaver has the highest percentage of any electee — but it does, because it's baseball and Derek Jeter and the only conversations left are about his legacy.

Journalism fight! Journalism fight! Let's all throw spicy language and felt-tip pens at one another! Yesterday, ESPN's Chris Sheridan sued the New York Post's Peter Vecsey and his employer for libel in NY State Supreme Court. The bone of contention was a "scandalous diatribe" (to quote the complaint) that the "vituperative" Vecsey wrote on December 14, 2010. Its subject: that Sheridan was full of hooey for reporting two days earlier that Carmelo Anthony had told the Nuggets he'd only agree to sign a contract extension if he were traded to the Knicks.

Of all the headlines created in regards to the Brett Favre/Jenn Sterger hubbub, this is my favorite: "How will Jennifer Sterger affect Vikings/Jets betting odds"? It means A.J. has forced the bookies to factor in dongshots when oddsmaking. More »

Geez, I guess they'll let anyone write for the New York Post. David Wells, in a column I would describe as "portly," because, well, for no reason, shares some of his experiences interacting with the wonderful, friendly people from Philadelphia. More »

A disgruntled former MSG exec says he designed the blueprint for YES network, which George promptly stole to build his $3 billion television empire. So naturally he's suing for due credit, to the tune of $23 million. More »

Here's the thing about telling all about your former players, as Joe Torre did in his book, "The Yankee Years." In the war of words that follows, you're always going to be outnumbered. More »

If there's one thing that Matt Cassel wishes for his starting debut with the Patriots on Sunday, it's that a prominent teammate talk some smack to the opposing team, which already has a contract out on him to begin with. Oh, and a very painful cold sore; that would be good. Randy Moss just couldn't help popping off to the press on Wednesday, when asked about New England's upcoming meeting with the Jets: More »

As many of you know, Pope Benedict the Magnificent XI was in New York on Sunday to celebrate mass at Yankee Stadium with 57,000 Bronx old ladies carrying plastic rosary beads.

This is how ugly that Cavaliers-Nets series has become: The Nets scored six fourth-quarter points, on the road, facing elimination ... and they won by 11 points. As the Bulls-Pistons series stirs slowly back to life, this plodding, limping joke of a series still stumbles along, one team emerging victories because someone has to win. More »
