Curt Schilling Is Trying To Sell His Massachusetts Home Again
The new season of 30 for 30 kicks off tonight with Broke, a look at pro athletes' penchants for burning through their fortunes. One of them is Curt Schilling, whose video game company not only went bankrupt, but blew tens of millions of dollars worth of shady taxpayer-funded loans. So it's maybe coi...
A Red Sox Fan Pulled A Jeffrey Maier And Gave The Yankees A Home Run
We thought last week's minor kerfluffle, on Bobby Valentine's game of employment chicken, would be the last Red Sox update we'd have to do this season. No sense piling on. But the Red Sox can't seem to stop doing terrible things....
The Denver Nuggets Unveiled New Alternate Jerseys In Your Local Business Park Conference Room
The dropped ceiling. The fluorescent lighting. The undeniable look of flesh without a soul. This is a random Monday afternoon, maybe an hour or two after lunch, in InterCorp, Ltd. with offices in Anytown, USA. And this is where the Denver Nuggets gave the world a look at their new alternate jerseys...

How Did This Girl End Up At A New York Hotel With Mark Sanchez And Tim Tebow? [UPDATED]
Those intrepid internet lurkers over at Busted Coverage found this one, and we have to agree: Once we saw these photos and considered where they came from, all we were left with were questions. The photos were tweeted by a girl who appears to have been visiting New York City this weekend from parts ...
Warren Sapp's House Is Up For Sale In The Pages Of <em>The New York Times</em> Today
Are you a Times reader? Are you in the market for "A Magnificent Lakefront Estate Home in Prestigious 'Lake Butler Sound,' Windermere, Florida"? Do you have a Warren Sapp fetish that you haven't told anyone about? Well then you're already probably pretty excited! This was on page B7 of the Times tod...
Bill Belichick No Longer Owns A Park Slope Brownstone; Bill Belichick Owned A Park Slope Browstone
Ah, Park Slope: where diligently hip mothers push extravagant strollers into studiously low-key coffee shops, where you're nobody if you don't get your kale at the most organic of the four farmer's markets on your block, where you retire at 45 after your loosely-defined art collective produces no a...
When Good Statistics Go Bad: The Case Against The Case Against R.A. Dickey
R.A. Dickey, objectively speaking, is the greatest human being in history. His knuckleball destroys cities and he climbed a huge fucking mountain. But should he win the Cy Young Award?...

Browns Center Alex Mack Has Blood On His Ass [UPDATE]
The Browns are, so far, managing not to embarrass themselves—Cleveland's within a touchdown of the Ravens in Baltimore as of this writing. More serious injuries notwithstanding, we are concerned about the health of Browns center Alex Mack, who appears to be bleeding from a place you really do not w...
Bobby Valentine Expects To Be Back Next Year. Ben Cherington Is Already Thinking About His Next Manager Search. The Red Sox Are Fantastic.
We thought we ought to check in with the Red Sox, just a year removed from being the Best Team Ever. (Seriously, will this cover ever get old?) Yesterday was the season's final game at Fenway, and to celebrate the Sox held a ceremony honoring their All-Fenway Team....
Always Be Posing: What 20-year-old <em>Glengarry Glen Ross</em> Can Teach Us About Manhood
There's a certain type of masculinity we're used to seeing on screen. John Wayne, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Statham: big, taciturn dudes who won't put up with any weakness in others and certainly not in themselves. They're not just muscular and powerful, though—they're heroic, saving the day and ...
With Ink Like This, Who Needs A Shirt?
We mentioned last month that it seems the soccer fans who shouldn't go shirtless are the ones who always do. I wouldn't ascribe that rule to this gentleman, though whatever his physical fitness I'd hate to think he spent all that money on what appears to be Cubist design principals in tattoo form a...
Here's A Picture Of JaVale McGee Riding His Segway
Reader Patrick sends us this picture of JaVale McGee riding his Segway around the 16th Street Mall in the heart of downtown Denver. Because McGee keeps his followers regularly updated on Twitter, we went to see if McGee posted anything relevant around the time that he was spotted riding his Segway....
Free Alex Smith's Hat!
Yesterday, Alex Smith revealed that the NFL has threatened him with $15,000 fines if he continues to wear his San Francisco Giants cap during press conferences. It's non-approved gear from a competing league, you see, and that's not cool. Postgame is prime time for marketing NFL products, and the le...
Dale Sveum Doesn't Even Have The Heart To Be Mad At His Players For Not Paying Attention
This is life as a Cubs manager. There are 25 people (40 in September!) whose only goal in life seems to be to give you agita. They do bad baseball things, but even worse they do dumb baseball things, and after a while it just becomes too much to take and you have to check out. There's no way to stay...
They're Getting Worse, Not Better: Here Are The 28 Worst Replacement Official Mistakes From Week 2
After a lousy first week in the NFL, replacement officials again came under fire this weekend following trip-ups, missed calls, and general ineptitude. While Roger Goodell testifies to the NFL's increased emphasis on player safety, his continued lockout of union officials reveals the league really...
The NFL Will Fine Alex Smith For Wearing A San Francisco Giants Cap
Alex Smith grew up in La Mesa, outside San Diego, so it's not a surprise he used to wear a Padres cap at postgame press conferences. But Alex Smith used to be terrible, so something had to change. Last year, in the midst of a successful season, he switched to a Giants cap and used it as a good luck ...
Beer Of The Week: Hoptimus Prime
The further we get from the '80s, the less defensible the hero-toys look. G.I. Joes might've delivered creepily timed PSAs - oh, don't mind Doc hanging around outside your bathroom window, kiddos - but in setting up a reflexively force-oriented response to terroristic threats probably helped set the...
Here's Umpire Jerry Meals Trying To Avoid To A Ball And Instead Incurring The Wrath Of Yankees Fans
The New York Yankees are not getting along very well with Jerry Meals. Last week, the New York Daily News compared Meals to legendary goat Jeffrey Maier, and the usually robotic Mark Teixeira was moved to say Meals's out call in the ninth was "terrible"—he even said, " "Sometimes you wonder if the...

JaVale McGee Threw A Free Burrito Party, But Only One Dude Showed Up [UPDATE]
JaVale McGee invited 10 Twitter followers to a free lunch with him at Chipotle yesterday. And in typically JaVale fashion, the invitation was well-intentioned, but poorly thought out, producing a hilarious result. Given just five minutes notice, only one fan made it to Chipotle: Andy Mathisen, who d...
Jerry Lawler Collapses During Live <em>Raw</em>, Has CPR Performed As Michael Cole Informs Viewers "This Is Not Part Of The Show" [UPDATE]
WWE's Raw has gone silent in Montreal tonight as wrestling legend Jerry "The King" Lawler collapsed at the announcer's desk and immediately received CPR during tonight's live airing of the program....
