The Many Faces Of Bomani Jones

A Hank Williams Jr. Discussion Turned ESPN's OTL Into <em>The Morton Downey Jr. Show</em>
I mean, I think this conversation was about Hank Williams Jr. It was less than a minute old when Paul Finebaum, an Alabama radio personality, said Dave Zirin had uttered the "single stupidest [statement] [he's] ever heard in the history of this program."

Just Read The Damn Book: Welcome To The <em>Sweetness</em> Bash
Between 2003 and 2009, I wrote four books. That means, on four different occasions, I've gone through the your-book-is-out-so-pimp-it-to-the-max drill of AM local news television interviews ("So Jim, why write a book about the '87 Mets?"); call-in sports talk radio shows ("You couldn't carry Lupica'...

Crazed Australian Rugby Fan Advocates For Pedophile Wallabies, Nazi Kiwis, And In-Game Snipers
On Sunday, Australia meets South Africa in the Rugby World Cup quarterfinals. The pundits are nattering aplenty. Perhaps the least conventional viewpoint is the one expressed above: that the Aussie team needs to "harden the fuck up" and get a "bit of mongrel back in the game" by adding snipers to ...
TCU To Leave The Big East Even Though It Still Isn't A Member
TCU might have been a geographic misfit when it joined the Big East, but its admission was thought by some to be the logical conclusion of the vision of the league's late founder, Dave Gavitt.
