Those Pesky Mariotti-To-Tribune Rumors Will Not Dissipate
Rumors continue to flutter over Chicago this afternoon concerning sensitive Around the Horn talking head Jay Mariotti and his possible move to the Chicago Tribune. A couple of sources close to the situation have emailed me and said that the Trib's editorial staff are taking the rumors seriously, and...
Bonfire Of The Insanity: Former High School Football Coach Goes A Little Nuts, Apparently
This gentleman here is Brian Butcher, 34, of Saratoga, Calif., a former frosh-soph football coach at Los Gatos High School. Butcher was, unfortunately, fired from the post this past spring. And so he did what you and I would have done under the circumstances, especially after repeated viewings of th...
Angels Make Final Push Toward Postseason
The Angels have had enough of your everywhere-but-West-Coast bias. They will NOT be ignored, Dan! The only infielder named Rodriguez in the AL playoffs this year will be named Sean, and after Monday's 12-1 victory over the Yankees, their magic number is 2. Rally Monkey drinks your milkshake! As the ...
When Jobas Collide: Fake And Real Chamberlains Set For Historic Meeting
So the New York Post is setting up a meeting between our fake Joba Chamberlain — Jersey Shore resident Ryan Ward — and the real Joba on Friday at Yankee Stadium (Joba Chamberlain quote: "I want to know what was going on in his head"). And just like in The Prince and the Pauper, we'll no doubt soon s...
The Casselification Of America Has Begun
So you thought you were suffering from Tom Brady overload? At least there's only one of him. Meet the Cassels! Matt, of course, you know; he filled in for the mangled Brady on Sunday and led the Patriots to a 17-10 win over the Chiefs. He is set to assault every one of our six senses — especially he...
The Sad, Curious Case Of Evan Tanner
By all accounts, Evan Tanner was somewhat of a troubled soul. In the midst of a Ultimate Fighting Championship comeback, friends say that they he was struggling with alcohol, and that they had to check on him to make sure that he had food in his refrigerator and that he was taking care of himself. H...

Women's Hockey Needs To Adopt A 60-Goal Mercy Rule
Confidence booster for every athlete anywhere in any sport: You may be bad, but you're not as bad as the Bulgarian women's hockey team. In a 2010 Winter Olympic qualification tournament in Latvia on Saturday, Slovakia beat Bulgaria 82-0. I'm not up on my history in that part of the world; what did t...
Fox Sports: They Report, You Decide
Yeah, her character was pretty tough in Sin City, and Kurt Russell really regrets messing with her in Death Proof. But I doubt that Rosario Dawson is up to playing tight end in the NFL. Although I could be wrong, it's more likely that the guys in the Fox Sports production truck just got caught up in...
A spectacular day of racing football turned catastrophic when Barbaro Tom Brady, a 3-year-old colt 31-year-old quarterback with a seemingly clear path to the Triple Crown Super Bowl, broke down in the first furlong quarter of the 131st Preakness Stakes Patriots-Chiefs game yesterday and was fighting...
Raiders Games: Like Prison, Only With More Darren McFadden
Headiing out tonight for Broncos vs. Raiders in Oakland; it's been about three years since I've been to a game there, and that's too long. I miss the tailgating most of all: the small, drunken children; the charcoal briquettes falling like hailstones (catch one on your tongue for luck!); the many...
