Don't Worry Golfers; Kevin Has Your Back
So if Kevin Malone were organizing a dream golf foursome, what three Office characters would he choose? That's a tough one (answer following the jump). One thing you should know, though: Brian Baumgartner has very little in common with Kevin Malone. Except that both are funny....

Stu Scott's Well-Wishes Are Much Appreciated
Washington Post Bog maven Dan Steinberg once again caught up with everybody's favorite late night text-messager, Stu Scott, for a little chat about, oh, anything he could think of at the time....
Call Him Adam Jones, If You Please
He is Pacman Jones no more. From now on, the Dallas Cowboys’ defensive back would like you to call him P. Diddy Puffy Roger Murdock Adam, which is his given name. This makes me very sad, like when Peter Parker quit being Spider-Man in Spider-Man II. But it’s all in an effort to rehabilitate his imag...
About Last Night
What you missed while listening to Class Clown long into the night ... • College World Series: Year of the Bulldog ... Georgia will meet Fresno State in finals. Where's that Snausages vendor? • NHL: Hockey's Cold War is here. First on Russia's list: Destroy Moose and Squirrel. • MLB: As relievers-tu...
Spain vs. Italy: Second Half
Holy crap, that first half was painful to watch. Sure I may not be a fan of Italy to begin with, but the flops and questionable challenges are sucking the quality right out of the game. To their credit they play stifling defense, but it's not exactly fan-friendly. Hopefully the second half will open...
Spain vs. Italy: First Half
Welcome to the final quarterfinal match of Uefa 2008. Spain and Italy are set to kick things off in Vienna with the winner moving on to face Russia in the semifinals. The Spaniards are slightly favored over the defending World Cup champions, but all three favorites have been sent home over the last ...
A Night Of Boxing
The last time Edison Miranda fought Arthur Abraham the result was a classic, albeit marred by some poor officiating. That night an undefeated Miranda traveled to Germany to face the similarly undefeated champion of Europe. Miranda broke Abraham's jaw in the fifth round, and the blood flowed from th...
Netherlands vs. Russia Extra Time Live Blog
Here we go, two 15 minute periods of overtime action. If the match is still tied after that, it's on to penalties (but let's hope it doesn't come to that). Continue after the jump for live commentary and updates....
Netherlands vs. Russia Second Half Live Blog
The Russians have played the Dutch even on both sides of the pitch through one half of play in Basel. While the score remains scoreless, there's been no shortage of excitement in front of both goals. After the jump enjoy more white chicks flashing signs, and eventually some actual commentary on the...
Netherlands vs. Russia: First Half
We're already half way through the first knockout stage of Euro 2008, and we'll be treated to another fantastic match. The Dutch side enters looking all but invincible after some explosive play in the group stage, but the Russians surely won't be rolling over. Well they might, but then Putin would ...
The Drugs In Europe Must Be Great
Okay, I've been to Amsterdam. I smoked some nice pot there. They try to get you to put all this tobacco in it, but whatevs, it's good. But nothing that would make me conceive, or even understand, the opening ceremonies of EURO 2008 yesterday. This Fanhouse-provided clip is like a Bjork/Michel Gondry...

Joe Montana And Matt Leinart, BFF, Or Something
It has been amusing, as we flip through the NFL season preview mags we keep buying — are they always out this early? — is that every single one of them mentions Matt Leinart's fun-loving beer bonging. As we said from the get-go, the reason those pictures took off was because they fit into an existin...
The Joy And Despair Of Two New York Pitching Debuts
So as we check in this morning on the great city and state of New York, we see much wailing and gnashing of teeth over the daring Joba-Chamberlain-as-a-starter experiment (he flew too close to the sun on mashed potato wings), and great rejoicing over the return of Pedro Martinez. Joba lasted just 2...
David Dong Han To Become A Bright Shining Star
The man in this photo who is not Chargers linebacker/performance enhancer Shawne Merriman is a happy young man named David Dong Han. According to DC Sports Bog, Han attended Santana Moss' birthday party and then, unexpectedly, got his Goose on with what appears to be half the league....
Ron Artest Is Taking This Journalism Business Quite Seriously
There are many adjectives you can use to describe Ron Artest, but a couple more you want to add to that list are "fair and balanced."...
Kansas City Gripped By Quincy Carter Fever
He's not exactly back in the NFL, but the Kansas City Brigade of the Arena Football League is a start. And believe it or not, that's a step up for the former Dallas Cowboys quartertback Quincy Carter, who was last seen playing for the Bossier-Shreveport BattleWings of the af2. After joining the Brig...
Jimmy Rollins Is Recognizable
The Gray Lady has an amusing piece today limning a day in the life of the slavering subhuman horde that is the habitual autograph hound. The column tags them as "Sharpie-wielding stalkers," which might be a terrible slight to stalkers everywhere. I mean, at least most stalkers know who they're purs...
Oye Como Va! Twice The Santana Means Twice The Fun
Please do not confuse Johan Alexander Santana Araque, pitcher for the Mets, with Ervin Ramon Santana, pitcher for the Angels. One is from Venezuela (chief exports: Petroleum, bauxite and aluminum) and one is from the Dominican Republic (predominant religion: Roman Catholicism). Unfortunately, we ar...
