Afternoon Blogdome: Dan LeBatard Keeps His Interns Smiling And Happy

• Why do they call her the "Super" intern?: The naughty boys at Busted Coverage manage to take an innocent picture of Dan LeBatard posing with his "super" intern, Christina, and force you to think unclean thoughts. The picture of Miami Herald writer Greg Cote does not have the same effect. For now. [Busted Coverage]

• Life is...Too Short:: Saints running back Reggie Bush takes some time out of his busy day of working out and Kardashianing to kick back at Vegas club Rehab with rapper Too Short. Big Daddy Kane and DJ Quik were probably out rollin' in their 6-4's or something. [NFL Juiced]

• Yeah, Ripken, you suck: Or so says Real Clear Sports, who listed Ironman Cal as #10 on its "Top 10 Worst MLB All-Stars" listicle. An ignominious list if ever there was one featuring the likes of Cesar Itzuris, Freddie Patek and others. Sadly, no Tyler Green. [Real Clear Sports]

• Tiger Woods' niece is also pretty good at this golfing thing: Meet Cheyenne Woods, niece of Tiger. She not only shares her uncle's facial features, but also his golfing ability. Cheyenne has so far in her short career won the American Junior Golf Association Nike Golf Junior, the Big I Junior Classic and two U.S. Kids Golf World Championships. She'll attend Wake Forest University this fall to study, work on her game, and forge her inevitable path to national Swooshdom. [Sports By Brooks]

Bilas Vs. Le Batard: Quien Es Mas Macho?

Leitch — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 16:10:25 EDT

In case you haven't heard it, here's the exchange on Dan Le Batard's radio show between Le Batard and Jay Bilas. It's possible these two don't like each other very much.

Generally speaking, we think Le Batard is more prone to discuss matters of race in sport than most of his colleagues, something we find commendable. But we kind of agree with Bilas here: We're really not sure what Le Batard's point is supposed to be. If Michael Beasley were white? If Tyler Hansbrough were black? Where you going with this?

That said, Bilas is awfully short fused here; the man's pretty serious for a guy who was in a Dolph Lundgren movie.

ESPN Is Just CRAWLING With Sexual Harassers

Leitch — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 14:50:51 EDT

On his radio show Friday, ESPN fella Dan LeBatard, because he's out in Miami and apparently no one in Bristol listens out there, had a few choice words to say about the Woody Paige, "Cold Pizza" sexual harassment case. He called ESPN "filled with sexual harassment" and said "it's actually funny." And we agree: It is!

But he saved his loudest admonitions for our pal Harold Reynolds; he says Harold has no business pleading innocence. What's LeBatard's case? Harold hit on his girlfriend.

"For Harold to be claiming that he was wrongfully fired.. I don't know how he says that with a straight face." ... "He creeped out two of my girlfriends ... I'm doubtful."

You can hear the whole audio at Leave The Man Alone. Personally, we're just creeped out that Dan LeBatard has had multiple girlfriends.
