You, Too, Can Invest In A 25-Year Old Pitcher
So here's a clever idea: A minor league baseball player, trying to essentially hedge bets on his career, is offering fans a share of his future salary. It kind of makes sense....
The Greatest College Basketball Chant - Ever
The College Basketball Closer is written by the gang at Storming The Floor....
Tony Romo Thinks He Can Do Better
Good news, fellows ... Jessica Simpson may soon be available. So for Heaven's sake start wearing collared shirts! (Preferably popped.) Word is that Tony Romo would like to dump her ... only she's not going easily. Hmm. Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction comes to mind here for some reason....
Jose Canseco Really, REALLY Wants To Get Into Film
Our favorite aspect of this whole steroid era in baseball has to be that the grand whistleblower was Jose Canseco. Baseball was so dirty in the '90s that this meathead was the closest we have to a hero. It's kind of awesome. (We own one of these shirts, by the way.)...
Money For Nothing
We are sad to say that Jonah Keri has discontinued his College Basketball Closer; we will miss him. But that's not all for the Closer; we'd like to hand the mic to the gang at Storming The Floor to fill in....
Carlos Mencia Is The NFL's Dane Cook
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....
Clearly, The First Cubs' Japanese Player
Because we're hankering for baseball already and need something to get our dander up, here's the new marketing campaign the Cubs have put together for Kosuke Fukudome. Looks great, right? Well ... that image is a rather offensive one for millions of people....
Hey, At Least SOMEONE Was Calling In
We remember the old days, back when we were dorfing around at the Daily Illini, of media conference calls with Big Ten coaches. Gene Keady would ramble on too long, Lou Henson would drone that earnest whine of his and Bob Knight, of course, would never show up. It was strange, really, to have a phon...
It's Got To Be The Shoes, Money
We are sad to say that Jonah Keri has discontinued his College Basketball Closer; we will miss him. But that's not all for the Closer; we'd like to hand the mic to the gang at Storming The Floor to fill in....
To Watch Tonight
What to watch while caressing your newest, proudest possession: Gary Coleman's pants ... • College basketball: Michigan at Wisconsin (7 p.m., ET); Tennessee at Kentucky (9 p.m., ET). Say hello to Kige if you go. [ESPN] • NHL: Boston at Montreal (7:30 p.m., ET). So much better than televised fishing,...
Rick Majerus Should Probably Just Stop Referring To The Groin Area
You thought Rick Majerus was just in trouble for pulling out his penis in front of his players. Nope! He made the tiny mistake of expressing his views on abortion....
Somewhere There's A Tom Brady Voodoo Doll With A Pin In Its Foot
Your chances of seeing Matt Gutierrez at quarterback in the Super Bowl just improved slightly on Monday, as Tom Brady was spotted hobbling down a New York sidewalk in a foot cast. Now what this means is not clear; all that we know for certain is that Brady's foot speed is pretty much unchanged. My g...
Remembering MLK, Now Owned By Nike
As we, like a lot of you we suspect, spend the Martin Luther King holiday, you know, working, we remind of the sports tie-in to MLK's famous "I Have A Dream" speech....
Jim Calhoun Has A Knack For Agate Type
Jonah Keri writes the college basketball closer (more or less) daily. E-mail your questions, comments or Clarence Ceasar-related memories to [email protected]....
To Watch Tonight
What to watch while boning up on the Letter From Birmingham Jail... • NFC Championship: Green Bay vs. New York. More on this to come. [FOX] • Australian Open, Salty 16. If Caroline Wozniacki is playing I might have to check in. [ESPN2] • Non-Sports: The Wire, a charming documentary on daily life in ...
Trojans Fit Like A Glove
If somebody tells you that they have a read on this USC team then you should feel free to tell them that they are full of shit. Last night they came in to Pauley Pavilion and took care of business against a heavily favored UCLA team that couldn't get anything to fall (33% from the field). Aboya, Mb...
Rick Majerus Will Show You His Billiken
I'm not sure what the monster is supposed to be in Cloverfield, but it can't be any more horrifying than this. From the pages of Sports Illustrated, via Larry Brown Sports, comes Tales of Nude Rick Majerus. Apparently the Saint Louis coach loves being naked, and it's not the good naked, as Seinfeld ...
Some LSU Fans Are Disgusting
If you haven't your fill of repulsive behavior from drunken white football fans yet this morning — because apparently that's all the rage now — this video should be enough to take the taco. Warning: You're about to be disgusted. (Seriously: That's a legitimate warning. Turn the volume on your com...
Cleveland State Snatches Victory Marshmallows
Screaming Vikings. The Butler didn't do it. Haven't had enough time elapse since the last use of bruised-cucumber infused beverage humor, unfortunately. Still, the Vikings did plenty of screaming last night, as Cleveland State knocked off No. 12 Butler 56-52. The win marked just the second time the ...
