Kobe Has A Run In His Protective Gear
We share YAYSports!' fascination with Kobe Bryant's tights, or his protective garb, or whatever the hell they are. It appears Kobe's tights — which clearly aren't constricting his ability to shot the ball 40 times a night — are now available for purchase on Nike's Web site for a mere 35 bucks, and...
Yahoo's Fantasy Football Screwed Up. Don't Riot, People!
Most common email we've received this morning: What's up with Yahoo's fantasy football page?

You Can't Trust Cheerleaders. You CAN'T.

We Apologize In Advance ... But MORE CHEERLEADERS!

Wrapping Up The Lesbian Cheerleaders Story
We've reached the saturation point, we think, on the Carolina Panthers cheerleader story, but, frankly, we don't care, and we suspect you don't either. Here's an update on what we've all got, to close this out. Smile wide:...

Now We Know Why The WNBA Doesn't Have Cheerleaders

That itself isn't illegal (t...
"But Boss, They Had Beards! BEARDS, I Say!"
The big news in New York this morning — now that A-Rod has been appropriately chided for that not-really-all-that-nasty gambling business — involves five Muslim football fans who were detained in September at Giants Stadium during the Giants-Saints game. Their mistake? Other than being Muslim, you...
Kobe Bryant And His Leggings
YAY!Sports points out something we don't think anyone else noticed: During last night's thrilling Lakers' win over the Nuggets, Kobe Bryant — who, it seems is somewhat less than popular in the Denver metropolitian area — apparently was, uh ... wearing tights....
NFL Roundup: A Costly Fumble
• It's pretty astounding that fan guy in Cincinnati was able to run on the field during the Packers' closing drive. First off, they were at midfield, which means he had to run at least 50 yards, probably more, without someone beating him to Brett Favre. (Note: The next time you're in Cincinnati, b...
