Lonny Baxter Does Not Trust The Postal System
One would think, after that whole firing weapons outside the White House thing, former Maryland "forward" Lonny Baxter would be careful with the transport of his weapons in the future. One would be wrong....
We Were All So Lame In The Early 90s
We don't mean to destroy the mystery surrounding the ESPYs — which taped last night and will be shown Sunday — but, well, co-host LeBron James did a song called "My LeBrongative." We're sure the rest of the evening's hilarity followed that pattern....
The Doggest Day Of Summer
It's only 400,000 degrees in Brooklyn today, rather than 4,000,000, but that doesn't mean today's been any less difficult of a day; we are fully wrapped up in the most boring sports day of the year. No sports today — not counting the WNBA, of course — and the taping of the ESPYs. Some might say you ...
Barry Bonds' Last Friends In The World
Bud Selig can take some solace in the world: Not everyone is gnashing their teeth and rending their garments over Barry Bonds' impending destruction of Hank Aaron's home run record....
Tim Legler Is INTENSE
From the now defunct Awesome USA! blog, here's what appears to be ESPN NBA analyst Tim Legler awfully intense on a roller coaster....
Guilty? Me? Nawwwwww ....
• Sometimes, you just plead innocent, no matter what. [The Futon Report] • UTEP footballers, scufflin'. [Sports By Brooks] • More NESN programming. [Surviving Grady] • Yes! Jock Jams! [Hawg Sports] • The Sabres might be able to play outdoors. [Buffalo Rising] • Everyone in the NHL should text messag...
Platt Vs. Turturro, For All The Ham
If you haven't gotten brought up to speed on The Bronx Is Burning just yet, fret not: It's pretty easy to catch up. Oliver Platt yells, John Turturro yells, Sam shoots people, Reggie hits homers. (The Dugout recap sums it up rather well.)...
Meet Ron Artest's Fat Brother
As some of you might have heard, Ron Artest's little brother is trying to make it in the NBA. He's got a few strikes against him. First, he's Ron Artest's brother. Second, he weighs about 300 pounds. Third, he weighs about 300 pounds and thinks his jump shot's gonna get him to the League....
The Royals Rule The All Star Game
This is Gil Meche, the Kansas City Royals' "All-Star" for last night's game. Like Albert Pujols, he didn't get in the game. For Royals fans, this is the furthest thing from unusual. Their All-Star history is so checkered that the last Royals to get a hit in an All-Star game was ... Bo Jackson....
The ESPYs Keep The Talent Happy
The ESPYs are airing Sunday, but they've already been filmed, and, just like last year, they handed out a ridiculous gift bag....
Brady Quinn's Unskinny Bop
Thanks, Mondesi's House, for reminding us once again that there is absolutely nothing like a Brady Quinn photo. That's Bret Michaels. Of course it is....
In Case You Forgot Who Was Managing The NL ...
We only caught the last couple of innings of the All-Star game on DVR last night/this morning, so we can only conjecture forthwith that, if the last inning was any indicator, this was actually one of the fun ones. Ichiro hit an inside-the-parker, A-Rod was thrown out at home, the immortal Victor Mar...
It's Your All-Star Game Live Blog, Ya'll
We run this picture, not because there's any particular reason to run it, but because it's the All-Star Game tonight, and we will never, ever tire of looking at this picture. It has been five years since the ultimate Bud Selig befuddled moment — honestly, just look at that picture again; doesn't it ...
