Here's an odd little story, featuring current Dodgers broadcaster Steve Lyons and a big-bosomed lady named Stacey Roy. From a court document filed on March 9, Stephen J. Lyons v. Fire Insurance, suggests that this is just a messy little money squabble between an ex-athlete and his homeowners insurance company. But jumping right into the document, you realize that, no, no, no — this is something a little more tawdry than that: More »

Will briefly mentioned yesterday in the apology post that a NASCAR broadcaster made some disparaging comments about Hispanic NASCAR fans, but none of the AP reports knew exactly what he said. I did a little googling, and found a couple of people who heard ol' Ray. More »

So what now for Lamar Thomas? It's ironic that the only real loser in the big UofM-FIU battle on Saturday was the guy sitting in the announcer's booth — albeit a guy who wanted to get down there and mix it up, or so he said. Thomas, as you know, was cast adrift by Comcast Southeast Sports on Monday for his, um, televised commentary during the fracas. It's beginning to look like his may turn out to be the sports call of the decade, being to the 2000s what "The Giants win the pennant!" was to the 1950s.

An enterprising young Atlanta Braves blogger, truly a guy after our own hearts, had become exhausted with screaming at his television set every time he turned on ESPN. As a way to rage against the machine, he set up The Road From Bristol, a 64-person bracket meant to resolve, once and for all, who the most loathsome ESPN personality was. His readers voted on each matchup, and the winner turned out to be ... Stuart Scott! Everyone's favorite boo-yaher sneaked past Stephen A. Smith in the Final Four and Skip Bayless in the finals. We only wish Stuart could give Stuart the trophy himself. More »
