Barry Bonds Could Really Use Johnnie Cochran Right About Now
Considering the charges against him — and the public opinion forces, going all the way up to President bush — one would think Barry Bonds' legal team would be coming together and preparing a fierce, scorched earth strategy to take down what are arguably pumped-up charges. One would be wrong....
Baseball Alumni Would Like Some More Of Your Money, Please
Always wanted to get close to your favorite baseball players, but only in a corporate, officially licensed, non-transferable type of way? You're in luck: You can become a member of the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association....
Micah Owings Might Go Both Ways
One of the stars of the Diamondbacks' improbable 2007 season was Micah Owings, the pitcher who could hit better than almost everybody else in Arizona's lineup. In the offseason, teams look for every advantage they can find, to fill every hole. The D-Backs are getting creative; they're thinking of pu...
Your Team Would Like To Trade For Santana Too
Andruw Jones signed with the Dodgers yesterday — the money seems a bit high, but the two-year commitment wouldn't seem crippling to us — and Dontrelle and Tubby McTubberson headed to Detroit, and that's pretty much all that came out of baseball's winter meetings, which end today. So, perhaps Johan S...
All For Naught
The NBA Closer is written by our own Canadian weekend maestro J.E. Skeets. When he's not busy scouring the box scores, he can be heard on The Basketball Jones daily podcast. Huzzah!...
Some End-Of-Day Love For The Rainbows
In the most bizarre, bewildering, ultimately disappointing — we'd much rather see Missouri vs. West Virginia in the title game than Ohio State vs. LSU; we admit it — there's only one team that has done nothing but provide unadulterated joy to its fans all season long: The Hawaii Rainbows. (Or Rainbo...
God Just Can't Make Up His Mind About Kentucky Basketball
All right, seriously, God: You need to let us know whether or not Alex Legion is part of your worldly college basketball plans, or not. Enough with that global famine business: Let's get down to the real work....
In A Way, Aren't We All John Maine?
For years, we have been plagued by the scourge of John Maine impersonators. We have fallen prey to this ourselves; heck, just more than a month ago, we thought Maine had shown up at our door, asking not for a dress, but for candy. One would think we would have learned to have been more skeptical....
Fat Guy, Skinny Guy Shipped To Detroit
As was first reported (kinda) by Sports Review Magazine, baseball had its first big trade yesterday. The Marlins sent Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis to the Tigers for six guys, though we think the actual amount of tonnage exchanged was close to equal....
About Last Night
What you missed while doing a little Christmas decorating ... • NBA: Sun explodes, melts Pacers. Phoenix 121, Indiana 117. • MLB: Cabrera, Willis soon to breath in the sweet second-hand smoke of the Tigers' dugout following megadeal with Marlins. • College basketball: Don't you ever underestimate th...
Introducing The Dugout's "Football Guys"
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....
Never Trust God's Hoops Recruiting Sheet
You might remember Kentucky freshman hooper Alex Legion, whose mother famously was told by God would lead the Wildcats to the Final Four. Well, God would like a mulligan, please....
Dick Williams Brings Honor To Cooperstown
Former Padres and Mariners manager Dick Williams was elected to the Hall of Fame earlier this week — good ole Whitey Herzog came one vote short — and Sports By Brooks reminds us of Williams' finest moment before his selection....
Two Attractive Humans, Walking Down The Street
For whatever reason, there are people who have been clamoring to see photos of Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson together. We do not know why....
Brian Billick's Passionate Kisses
We're sure you've seen it by now, but here's that highly amusing "kiss" from Ravens coach Brian Billick to Patriots defender Rodney Harrison. Warning, Brian: It's best not to mock effetely the roided up large man. Trust us on this one....
John Maine Loves The Little Black Dress
If we know anything about baseball players, we know that they love to dress up in women's clothing. This is a verifiable fact, as true as the nose on your face and the whet of your whistle. Witness Exhibit 2732-A, Mets pitcher John Maine....
The Best MNF Game In Many A Moon
If you weren't able to stay up and make the whole "Monday Night Football" game last night, we're sorry for you: That was as terrific an NFL game we've seen all season. You can tell from the comments on our late-night post: As Larry King might say, "if that game didn't excite you, check your pulse, b...
The Patriots Might Just Be Toying With Us Now
A while back, we said that this whole "call a timeout right before a big play" business would end when someone called a timeout that nullified a great, game-winning play by his own team. That's exactly what happened tonight, thanks to an overeager timeout from Baltimore defensive coordinator Rex Ry...
Another Night That The Patriots Run The NFL
Sometimes it seems like the only major drama left in the NFL swirls around Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots. We're almost as fascinated with the Dolphins' losing streak as we are with the Patriots' winning one, but tonight, "Monday Night Football" will reap the national benefits....
