Have You Seen This Man's Testicles?
In the new issue of Playboy, Jose Canseco's ex-wife Jessica — who poses nude in the magazine, because that's what Playboy does, it shows pictures of naked people — gives us a rather detailed description of the 'roided sluggers' genitals. Feel free to look away now....
Rosenhaus Tries To Woo Letterman, Fails
We watched NFL "superagent" Drew Rosenhaus on "Late Show With David Letterman" last evening. We have to say: It's the first time we've ever seen a guest on that show being booed. Lustily booed. And Letterman wasn't afraid to keep grilling him either. ...
Pay No Attention To This Post, For It Is Only Rumor Mongering
The rumors are running like crazy: Tales of a "big-name" player about to be outed are everywhere. Pretty much everyone we know has been whispering in our ear about it for the last 24 hours; it got so bad that MLB even had to release a statement debunking the rumors....

Hey, It's The New Guy
See that guy? That's Greg Lewis. Like us, he went to the University of Illinois, where he was overshadowed by teammate (and current 49er) Brandon Lloyd. He caught a touchdown in the Super Bowl last year, the only touchdown of his career. He has a Web site: GLew83.com, which contains the following...

Get Ready: Another 'Roid Name Is Coming
Orioles roid head — that's a new name we're trying out; great, ain't it? — Rafael Palmeiro is scheduled to return to the Orioles tomorrow after serving his 10-day suspension for steroids. But many observers aren't sure he'll come back at all; Congress is still investigating him, some of the Oriol...
Today's Fun eBay Auction
In the offseason, the Florida Gators paid coach Urban Meyer $14 million over seven years to bring his high-powered offense to Gainsville. But apparently it only would have cost them $4.25 (plus shipping). Meyer's playbook is up for auction on eBay. Fourteen hours left to go. Good price, if you as...
More Net Nerds Hit It "Big" Time
We were impressed to see the folks from on ESPN2's Cold Pizza this morning, as much as we can be impressed to see anyone on Cold Pizza. We still don't think Football Outsiders is ever going to quite hit the levels of Baseball Prospectus, if just because people who watch baseball are just bigger c...

Speaking of ESPN head overlord Mark Shapiro, he had a pretty money quote to SI.com this week. Talking to "media critic" Richard Deitsch, Shapiro explained why the network might have been interested in a Mike Tyson reality show a couple of years ago, but isn't anymore....
Another Reason To Hate Teenagers
We've been watching video of that dumbass teenager who jumped onto the screen behind home plate at Yankee Stadium last night. We love contrasting the terrified look on his face after he pulled that stunt with the this-is-why-we're-never-having-children smirk when he was taken into police custody ...
Fun With ESPN's Ombudsman
We repeat: We find it hysterical that ESPN has hired an ombudsman — former Washington Post editor George Solomon — to tell it when it's operating outside the boundaries of journalistic ethics. We mean, it's ESPN: Duh. Anyway, Solomon does his monthly tilting at windmills this morning, and as alway...
The Saga Of Larry Krueger
For those who don't know him, Larry Krueger — who was finally fired last night — is a motormouthed, somewhat annoying late-night talk host on the San Francisco Giants flagship radio station, KNBR-680. On the air August 3 following another inspiring loss by the home lads (3-2 to the Rockies), Krue...
