Adam Greenberg Finally Got To Swing The Bat In A Major League Baseball Game
Adam Greenberg finally got his first official MLB at-bat tonight, seven years after getting hit in the head in his only plate appearance. Unfortunately, it came against R.A. Dickey, who whiffed him on three pitches, something the presumptive NL Cy Young Award-winner specializes in. Regardless, good ...
Paint Your Corners. Clint Eastwood's Baseball Movie, <em>Trouble With The Curve</em>, Reviewed.
1. Pretty much everything about Trouble With the Curve is a crock, but I couldn't help but like it anyway. It has a hackneyed, painfully overstructured screenplay; its motivations for its characters are stock at best and embarrassingly obvious at worst; and it knows so little about the game of baseb...
Like A Meaner, Braver, Less Funny <em>Bridesmaids</em>. <em>Bachelorette</em>, Reviewed.
1. In retrospect, the "surprising" success of Bridesmaids should have been the furthest thing from a surprise. It was a big, broad, audience-friendly comedy that made sure, in between all the poop jokes and the rampant silliness, that you liked all of its characters. It was ribald and bawdy, but nev...
Adam LaRoche Hit A Ball About As Far As Possible Without Hitting A Home Run
Bad break for the Nationals on this one. Adam LaRoche took Cliff Lee deep over the wall at Citizens Bank Park. Unfortunately, it hit flush with a small fence on top of the wall, bounced straight up and back onto the field. Jayson Werth thought it was a home run. Adam LaRoche thought it was a home ru...
Man Dives Into Kauffman Stadium Fountain For Adam Dunn's 400th Home Run, Is Arrested

ESPN's Adam Schefter Has The Most Adorable Facebook Page
Facebook rolled out its Timeline feature earlier this year, and the redesign makes the site even creepier than it was before.

Anthony "Spice" Adams On His First Love, Basketball: "Yeah I Can Fly, For A Little While"
Anthony Adams continues his endearing quest to catch on with a pro football team. Or, at the very least to gain notoriety as a total goofball who makes fun videos. It looks like now he may try his hand at basketball "since there's an opening in Orlando." Or, maybe he'll make it in his first first ...
Won't Some NFL Team Please Give Anthony "Spice" Adams A Job?
Anthony Adams spent five years as a DT in Chicago, and four years in San Francisco before that. He's 32 now, toward the end of a lineman's effective lifespan, and was released by the Bears in February. He's spent the offseason trying to catch on elsewhere, so far unsuccessfully, but he's managed t...

NBC Says It Was Twitter's Idea To Kick That NBC-Critical Journalist Off Twitter

NBC's No. 1 Tweeting Critic Has Been Suspended From Twitter
Guy Adams is The Independent's Los Angeles bureau chief. During the Olympics so far, he has carved out a nice spot on the how-much-NBC's-coverage-sucks beat. Now his Twitter account has been suspended—supposedly because NBC had it cut off after he complained:...

Nostradamus On Paterno (The Town In Sicily): "Flee Oh, Flee ... The Dreaded Pestilence!"
There is a new translation of Nostradamus's The Prophecies, the text that when read just so manages to predict everything from 9/11 to the rise of the Kennedys (and whose contents were the subject of roughly 98 percent of all emails forwarded from AOL accounts between 1998 and 2004). In a review on ...
Ready Or Not, Here Come Ads On NBA Jerseys
"Years in coming," advertisements will begin appearing on NBA jerseys as early as the fall of 2013. The NBA Board of Governors hasn't taken an official vote on the matter, but according to deputy commissioner Adam Silver, not a single owner is against it....
Because This Stuff Never Gets Old, Here's Carmelo Anthony Scaring People By Pretending To Be A Wax Figure
Melo got his sculpture at Madame Tussauds in Times Square yesterday, and in between saying things like "my time is coming," he did that thing where he stands stock-still until unsuspecting ticket-buyers get close enough to spook. There were no reactions as magical as this one, but Anthony's timing...

Welp, it looks like Adam Jones can amend his Scared Straight syllabus. A jury has awarded the victims in that Las Vegas shooting case $11 million in damages. Predictably, the opposing attorneys each have a different take....
The Stupid, Stupid, Unforgettable Madness Of Adam Sandler. <em>That's My Boy</em>, Reviewed.
There are few things in modern cinema as reliable as an Adam Sandler movie. Since 1992, he's appeared in at least one film every year except for 1997, and just about all of them have been terrible. And yet there's something oddly comforting and exciting about the arrival of a new Sandler offering. I...
The NFL Asks Pacman Jones To Scare This Year's Rookies Straight
I guess being a 147-time offender in the NFL actually does have its perks. Adam Pac-Man Jones told the Cincinnati media that Commissioner Roger Goodell has called on him to speak to this year's group of incoming rookies on how they can avoid screwing up whatever promising career they hold in front o...
Whose Post-<i>SNL</i> Film Career Is Andy Samberg Most Likely To Have?
