This Should Cause The Mets No PR Problems Whatsoever
Pitchers and catchers haven't even begun packing, but the first sensational storyline of spring training is already here. Pedro Martinez: Cock Fighter! (As first reported by Home Run Derby.)

Lakers Lose?! Inconceivable!
Hello, my name is Matt McHale. You killed my father. Prepare to die! (P.S. When I'm not preparing to kill you, I can be found practicing swordplay at Basketbawful.) • You just wiggled your finger. That's wonderful! The following is an actual quote from the Associated Press: "With the game on the li...
Duke Shows Off For Lover Vitale
We could go into a ton of detail about the Duke-North Carolina game last night, how Duke is probably the best team in the country right now just a year after a first-round tournament upset, or about how Coach K is able to adjust and elude irrelevance in a way Bob Knight wasn't able to late in his ca...

Kevin Hart Made The Whole Thing Up
We just arrived in Alameda and we're going to spend some time playing Tetris working, but the news just broke: Kevin Hart, the kid who had supposedly been duped by a recruiter into thinking Cal and Oregon wanted him ... made the whole thing up. No: Seriously....
We Left Our Heart In Alameda
By the time you actually read this — this is one of those "future" "posted" items — we will be on the road, screaming up the Golden State Freeway (we can't take the scenic route: No time!) to Alameda, for the next stop of the book tour business....
To Watch Tonight

Time For Blue Devils, Tar Heels Again
Even though our guys are falling apart and college basketball mostly exists right now solely to make us sad, it's impossible not to be fired up by a fiery North Carolina-Duke game when both teams are in the top five. And Vitale's back tonight too. They should have eased him in with a Gonzaga game o...
Light Dawns On The Patriots
We have made no secret of our enduring love of The Dugout, both in its original incarnation and its current, non-expletive form at AOL Sports. But you think these guys just know baseball? Pshaw....
OK, Last Photoshop, We Promise!
Except for the ones below, that is. There's just so many amusing ones out there, that it's hard to stop. And now, for the final word on Super Bowl XLII, we'll hand the mic over to Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force, who as you might imagine is quite enthused with the result. In fact, it may be his fin...
Your Puppy Bowl Recap
The writers strike may have crippled other shows, but the Puppy Bowl remains strong; ratings for Puppy Bowl IV on Sunday were up 35 percent from last year. Just like Super Bowl XLII, some are calling this the best Puppy Bowl ever, although the Bissell Kitty halftime show had too much nipple in my op...
'Oh Why Didn't I Just Get A Jamba Juice Instead?'
Ah, Victor Thompson. Poor dumb sap. Let this be a lesson to all you kids out there; tattoos are permanent, but football winning streaks are not. Sure, it was all fun and games when he decided to get the Patriots logo etched into both sides of his skull earlier this season. What could possibly go wro...

We haven't seen a larger version of this card yet, but we can't help but salute the folks at Fox for coming up with it: It's Rudy Giuliani cheering with the Red Sox as they won the World Series....
Kevin Hart Was Scammed, Not Pranked
So, there's an update on the Kevin Hart story, and it turns out that the whole thing was more "con" than "prank."...
GSTF Book Tour Stop: Los Angeles, California
We had a grand time at the Book Soup reading last night, once we finally found freaking parking. It has been more than a decade since we lived in Los Angeles. We had kind of forgotten. But the real highlight was the reading going on next door to ours: It included appearances by Eric Roberts, Danny ...

Giants Fans Celebrate Tiki As Well
Reader Matthew Ott headed down to the Giants' Super Bowl ticker-tape parade in Lower Manhattan yesterday and found a guy after our own heart. The "uncensored" photo after the jump. Lots of work went into that sign, clearly....
