Stephon Marbury Doomed To Wander Knicks Sideline For All Eternity
Isiah Thomas established previously unprecedented levels of bizarro organizational management while running the New York Knicks, but just because he doesn't work there any more it doesn't mean the front office isn't still covered in crazy residue. Team president Donnie Walsh and new head coach Mike ...
Drunken Redneck Browns Fan Ushers In Brady Quinn Era
These videos were taken last season, when this anonymous Browns fan — we'll call him Doyle, because he reminds me of the Dwight Yoakum stepfather character in Sling Blade — was quite comfortable with the way things were playing out in his world. But as Busted Coverage points out, now "there's a b...
Philly Car-Tip Victim Inches Closer to Leaving Public Transportation Behind
Many unfortunate car owners in the Philadelphia area were impacted by the chaos that invaded Broad Street soon after the Philadelphia Phillies (WFC) won the World Series that night.

The Church Of Maradona Makes Baby Jesus Cry
Most often-asked question by first-time visitors to the Church of Maradona: Is that a soccer ball with a crown of thorns? Why yes, it is. This holy procession honoring the Argentine soccer great also includes a replica World Cup trophy and a church with a tiny soccer ball steeple bell. No way this c...
Your Halloween Costume Was Not This Good
I went to two pretty decent Halloween parties last weekend and saw a lot of clever costumes—Tony Stark with glowing chest plate, Anton Chigurh, Carmen Sandiego, Sewer Urchin, half the cast of "The Maltese Falcon," two Sarah Palins, 16 Jokers, and a dude in a Chinese gymnast leotard. But none—none—of...
The New Mayor Of Sacramento Can Go To His Left
The votes haven't all been counted yet — this is California, where we're the last to know anything — but it seems that former University of California and Phoenix Suns guard Kevin Johnson is now the mayor of Sacramento. Why is he being punished, you ask? No, he sought this office, beating incumbent ...
Morning Blogdome: Living The Dream
It's [email protected] in a landslide! • Thanks, but no thanks: Yeah, the last thing the Cubs want to do now is add another all-star caliber pitcher to their roster. They like Jake Peavy too much to put him through that. [Luol's Dong] • Chris Fuamatu-Ma'afala was unavailable: Two bloggers reali...
Brandon Marshall Would Like to Get a Few Things Off His Chest
The Miami Dolphins walloped the Denver Broncos this past Sunday 27-16 and leading the post-game victory gloating was, of course, linebacker Joey Porter. After the victory, the nine-year veteran called Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall "soft" and said the Dolphins defense "got into his head", re...
Yes We Did
Got an image you'd like to see in here first thing in the morning? Send it to [email protected]. Subject: Morning crap.

Everybody knows what today is. The importance of it, what's at stake, all that. There's no way to avoid it.

ESPN "The Mag" Needs You to Help Them Soothsay
ESPN "The Mag" has unveiled its annual "Next" issue candidates, where it picks a handful of athletes destined for large endorsement deals, debilitating concussions, homosexual rumors, Madonna trysts, and Colorado rape trials.

Allen Iverson Traded: The Day After
So Allen Iverson is now a Piston. And Chauncey Billiups is heading back to Colorado. And the world now knows the name Cheikh Samb.

After yesterday's extraordinary news that the Brady Quinn era begins in Cleveland Thursday night, let's see what the rest of the sports blogosphere has to say about his long-awaited coming out party.

The Real Question Here Is, Who Felt The Need To Foul Him?
Last month we told you about Ken Mink, the wrinkly, onion-belted gentleman who made it onto the Roane State Community College basketball roster with dreams of greatness and foggy recollections involving the Truman administration. On Monday, 52 years after his last college game, Mink made it to th...
Meet Argentina's New National Soccer Coach (Burp!)
I see no possible way this ends badly. Argentina, which has been sent home ignominiously from the past four World Cup soccer tournaments, has turned to its largest celebrity in terms of land mass to return the nation to its glorious past. Diego Maradona, considered by many to be the greatest soccer ...
Ralph Wilson Stadium Is A Sexy, Sexy Place
Orchard Park police arrested 37 people at Ralph Wilson Stadium on Sunday, but none more special than the two found creating a "public disturbance" in the 300-level women's restroom during the Jets-Bills contest. It seems that watching Trent Edwards getting piled on while Jay Feeley seduces the uprig...
Oaks Christian Has An Overabundance Of Famous Progeny
Here are Nick Montana, Trevor Gretzky and Trey Smith, all of whom play football at Oaks Christian High in Westlake Village, near Los Angeles, and whose rather famous fathers don't have much trouble paying the school's annual $21,640 tuition, I'm guessing. If you want to witness a hilarious sight on ...
Election Night: An Excuse To Stay Up Past 8:30
Well, it's here. When I was a kid, Election Night was one of the few nights of the year I was allowed to stay up past 8:30. (Seriously, my bedtime was 8:30 until I was a freshman in high school. And you wonder why I still wet the bed.) I never knew who any of the candidates were, or even what the "...
