Consider This Your WNBA Season Preview
It's time to break out the glittered wigs and fanny packs ... the WNBA, or, as I like to call it, Diana Taurasi's secondary source of income, sees their 2007 season kick-off today. The Detroit Shock take on the Sacramento Monarchs at 3:30 on ABC today, which probably has nothing to do with why the W...
Bengal Arrested ... Blah Blah Blah
I would've gotten to this sooner, but I thought it was probably a good idea to wait a few hours, see if any other Bengals got arrested, and then combine them into one post. Alas, they put together an unprecedented 12-hour streak of good behavior....
Chelsea Are Your FA Champions
It must've been a rough morning for our pal David Hirshey. Not only did Chelsea get a 1-0 win when Didier Drogba scored in extra time, but it came at the end of a game that's been described as "rubbish football" and "cack."...
Putting The 'Montana' Back In Tony Montana
When a college football team and a drug cartel are linked, quick, what school might you suspect it would be? Correct, it is the U of M, but it's not that one....
Leonard Davis Gives A Damn About Your Horse
It's the biggest time of the year in horse racing, and you know what that means: total disregard for the health of animals while the rest of us drink bourbon and gamble. But not for Cowboys offensive lineman Leonard Davis. Davis is an equine hero....
That'll Be All, Suns
If you love fast-paced, up-and-down, uptempo basketball, I hope you have a DVR ... because if you're craving anything of that ilk, you might have to watch the conference finals at about 4 times the normal speed....

Once More, With Feeling (And Amare)
We've been accused of overstating the backlash David Stern will face if the Suns lose tonight — if there's a Game 7, you can make an argument that it all evened out, though we're not sure we necessarily agree with that either — but it's clear that everyone (save for, of course, Spurs fans) will be h...
Ah, The Sweet Relief Of Augusta
You can't quite tell from this far a way, but a reader who recently caddied for him at Augusta National lets us know that the gentleman urinating into the woods in this picture is none other than South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier. Here's the before photo:...

Interleague Play Is Back, If Anybody Notices Anymore
We've never had a major problem with interleague play. It's possible this is because our Cardinals get to play the Royals six times a year — and boy could we use the help — but mostly, it's because the game has been so twisted and pretzeled over the last decade that, hey, what's one more switch? Peo...
If Lastings Milledge Has Offended Any Of You Hos, He Apologizes
A while back we recorded the saga of the Mets' Lastings Milledge, whose new rap song, Bend Ya Knees, not only failed to capture the imagination of America's youth, but also angered his baseball employers. Milledge apologized on Thursday, probably ruining his street cred among all Triple-A/hip hop fa...
