What Is This Slumbering, Slobbery Beast Asleep On The Floor?

Lendale White Suggests Panther Swipe
"If they want a nickname, I can nickname them: 'Identity and Theft,'" said White, who's successfully paired with the speedy rookie Chris Johnson this season.

Kevin McHale To Take A More Active Role In The Failure Of The Timberwolves
The Minnesota Timberwolves are 4-15, which is not the worst record in their division, but it's far from the best.

Deadspin Deleted Scenes: The One With Sean Avery's Dildo Problem
We get a massive amount of tips in our inbox each week.

Cheeky Bloke Blags His Way To Footie Glory
I confess that I do not know a lot about soccer.

So maybe some of the more enligh...

The Moonstruck, Rather Wacky Email From Jimmy Patsos To Kornheiser And Wilbon

So, tomorrow at some point, Playboy will supposedly announce who this year's contestants for their 2009 Sexiest Sportscaster of the year award.
