Ready For Some Good, Old-Fashioned College Basketball Nightmare Fuel?
Note to Bruce Pearl: There's such a thing as overselling an event, as may be the case tonight when Tennessee women's basketball coach Pat Summitt is supposed to appear at the men's game against No. 5 Florida and "do something special." Pearl (personal motto: Dignity, Always Dignity), the Tennessee m...
Gilbert Arenas Is Playing Russian Roulette With His ACL
As always, the greatest moments of All-Star Weekend happen when the "game" isn't actually on, and The 700 Level found perhaps the best one. During a commercial break, Gilbert Arenas — of course — decided to satisfy a lifelong curiosity and, playing along with the "entertainment," dunked off a trampo...
Because This Had To End With Tim Hardaway Being Nude On YouTube
Tim Hardaway might not enjoy gay people, but I really think it could give us all a chance to heal if gay people had a chance to enjoy Tim Hardaway. And since there's already footage available on YouTube that might facilitate this healing process... I feel morally obligated to bring it to you....
Who's Sorry Now? Naked Hi-Jinx Edition
Simply put, we can think of no more embarrassing yet hilarious opening line to a letter than this:...
Please Ignore The Shirtless Gyrating Man
Over at The Fanhouse, The Mighty MJD posted this video of a Seton Hall fan — we think that's Seton Hall — coming up with an inventive and terrifying way to distract a free throw shooter. We think after seeing this, we'd just try to avoid being fouled all together....
The Underrated Legs Of Rex Grossman
The good people at SomethingAwful threw together some inspired Super Bowl photoshop work. And because it's excellent and because I'm having a difficult time letting go of football, I cobbled together a few of my favorite into the above image... I hope they don't mind....
Agent Zero Fails To Back It Up
Gilbert Arenas had vowed to get 50 points against the Blazers today, in his continuing revenge tour against the coaching staff of the US Olympic basketball team. Blazers head man Nate McMillan was one of those coaches. Gilbert even implored ESPN to pick up the game to witness his spiteful heroics. H...
It's Never Too Early To Ruin A Kid's Enjoyment Of Sport
Yesterday was college football's signing day, and as you've probably noticed by our coverage of that and similar recruiting stories, we're always kind of creeped out by a bunch of middle aged men watching teenagers in their underwear run sprints and lift weights. Maybe it's just us....
Hey, Why Is Kenny Chesney Suddenly Calling Me?
In our original neck of the woods in Mattoon, Ill., NFL loyalties are rather split. Some people root for the Chicago Bears (four hours away), some root for the Indianapolis Colts (90 minutes away) and some odd souls hopped on the Rams bandwagon (two hours away). (Some insane people stuck with the fo...
DeShawn Stevenson Doesn't Care About His Money
From time to time, you'll hear about a ridiculous bet that NBA players make during practice... something like putting a couple grand on a halfcourt shooting contest. And I always think, "Man I'd love to watch something like that."...
Agent Zero Revenge Tour Makes Imaginary Stop At Duke
We must report that our new favorite place to visit on the Internet is Gilbert Arenas' NBA.com blog (sorry, Fleshbot). This is because A). He actually writes it himself, unlike some people; B). There are posts with headlines such as "ESPN The Magazine Took Me Off the Cover" and "I Was Fouled Against...

Jared Fogel, Rising Up The Dating Chart
If that last post about the new Raiders head football coach didn't depress you enough, here's something that might finish the job. Last night, in Indianapolis, at the Pacers-Bulls game, the Conseco Fieldhouse had itself a little celebrity sighting....
The NBA's Shame
I've been critical of David Stern and his obsessively fascist measures to cultivate a friendly, lilly-white non-threatening image for the NBA, but perhaps I was misguided on that....

NOT What Jesus Had In Mind
When your dad's a former professional hockey goon, your childhood can pretty much be summed up in three words: Fun, fun, fun. Clint Butler was the bantam A team youth hockey coach for a boys 13- and 14-year-old team in Montreal. Let's get right to the action....
Gilbert Arenas Rates His Swag
It must be frustrating for Gilbert Arenas sometimes, being stuck on a planet with people who couldn't possibly understand the way his world works. Sometimes, though, an intrepid reporter will try to break through....
A Strange Way To Go After An Arena Football Job
Far be it from us to tell anyone how to deal with the tragic loss of a family member ... but this seems like an awfully strange way to do it....
The Inside Story On Gilbert's Birthday Bash
The big party last week was, not surprisingly, the big Gilbert Arenas birthday party, complete with ice sculpture, Clinton Portis and, of all people, Kissing Suzy Kolber's own Unsilent Majority. (Obviously, Agent Zero should be a bit more judicious with the guest list.) Unsilent spoke with Free Dark...
The Key To Any Good Party Is The Ice Sculpture
If you were wondering what happened to your invite to Gilbert Arenas's 25th birthday party, it got lost in the mail and somehow ended up in the hands of Jamie Mottram of Mister Irrelevant, the FanHouse, and formerly of Sports Bloggers Live. His Arenas Express Card got him into the party, and he was ...
