Carlos Tevez Happily Wields "R.I.P. Fergie" Sign At Man City's Parade
After a miracle at Etihad, two goals in stoppage time, gave City its first title since 1968, the team today celebrated with a parade. The trophy was carried through the streets of Manchester on an open-top bus, attended by delirious fans and at least one jubilant forward who does not forgive or forg...
Fergie's Got A Feeling Tonight's Gonna Be A Bad Night

Ohio State Loses Star Recruit Because Of Convicted Sex Offender Charles Eric Waugh
As the ballad of Charles Waugh unfurls, Ohio State has taken its share of lumps in the P.R. department. Now, they are getting hit in the athletic department. Alex Anzalone, a highly rated linebacker recruit from Pennsylvania, has decommitted from the school just one day after the Athletic Departmen...
Roberto Mancini Told Sir Alex Ferguson To Shaddap You Face
It figured that tempers would flare a few times during yesterday's pivotal Manchester derby, but perhaps the greatest drama took place outside the touch lines when City manager Roberto Mancini and United chief Alex Ferguson got into a chippy war of words that took several attempts to separate by as...

Alex Smith Used You For Your Beach, Miami
Smith re-signed with the 49ers after they lost out on Peyton Manning, and he couldn't be happier. "This was always the goal to me," Smith said on a conference call, "just to get back here." That's the sort of diplomatic thing you say when you sign anywhere, but was there really a need to kick sand i...

The Miami Dolphins do not have a quarterback, and now there are no good quarterbacks left....
A-Rod Lets Girlfriend And Niece Charge $17,600 To His Credit Card, Then Demands Refund
This latest A-Rod Thing comes to us via the New York Post, which reports that A-Rod brought girlfriend Torrie Wilson and niece Michelle Silva to a Manhattan boutique last month, gave them free rein of his black AmEx card, and "joked around with the saleswomen while the girls shopped," according to a...
The Dolphins Have Spent An Offseason Humiliating Themselves
Believe me when I tell you that I say this with zero malice: the Dolphins are a pathetic franchise at the moment. It's not so much that two weeks ago they were certain they were going to have Peyton Manning throwing to Brandon Marshall and Reggie Wayne, and now they may have to content themselves wi...

Alex Ovechkin Picked Norfolk State (And So Did A Hairless Cat)
Everyone needs to take back all the mean things they said about Alex Ovechkin's third-grade napkin scrawl of a bracket. He nailed the Norfolk State over Mizzou upset, and appears to have them advancing to the Elite Eight....
Dwight Howard To Be Named Owner, President, CEO, Star Player Of The Orlando Howards
The Magic's strategy for keeping Dwight Howard is to try and land a star player before the trade deadline, in the hopes that Happy Dwight would want to stay in Orlando. It's risky, but it's probably their best and only hope. So that's fine....
The "Scam Cup": How A Very American TV Event Gives U.S. Gymnasts A Leg Up On The Olympic Competition
If you listen to USA Gymnastics and NBC, it's one of the most important Olympic tune-ups. If you listen to the rest of the world, it's a glorified showcase for American athletes. So maybe it's fitting that the American Cup's highest-scoring female gymnast wasn't even entered in the competition. ...
42 "Pussy" Shots For £126! An Unscientific Analysis Of The Epic £203,948.80 Bar Tab From A Liverpool Nightclub
Where to begin with this epic bar tab (full version at the bottom)? It's so single-minded, so devoid of nuance. I hate it. When Petchesky first directed my attention to this abomination, which was posted a few places yesterday, I thought it could only belong to one man—Don Johnson, the "champagne ki...
This Just Might Be The A-Rod Photo To End All A-Rod Photos
At least until he brings his own food into the men's room and has his girlfriend feed it to him as he kisses the mirror. But only then....
Alex Ovechkin Met A Contest Winner, And They Had A Cake With Both Their Faces On It
Ovechkin awakened from a weeks-long Twitter slumber to send out this photo with the caption "With lucky guy James who win Mr Big dinner with me. Hahaha))))" (Those are Russian smiley faces, I believe.) But—that cake. Can we talk about the cake? I could take or leave the dinner with Ovechkin — his En...
A-Rod Does Another A-Rod Thing
Allowing himself to be photographed kissing his own mirror image? Check. Being hand-fed popcorn by his movie-star girlfriend at the Super Bowl? Check. Buying Us Weekly at the airport? Check. Just when you think A-Rod has done enough to show the world his complete lack of self-awareness, he keeps rig...
Gary Carter Went Out With A Win
There's a great line in the New York Times obituary of Gary Carter that says he "may have led the 1986 Mets in hugging teammates."...

This Division II Player's Dunk Is One Of The Best You'll See This Season, At Any Level
That's Cal State San Bernardino's Kwame Alexander taking off with two feet just before the free-throw line and basically dunking over a defender from Cal State Stanislaus on Friday night. And it happened exactly one week after Alexander had done this with another dunk on an alley-oop. [The Dagger]...
