ESPN Combines Pirates And Astros Into Something "Other" That Might As Well Give Up
It's one thing to have no chance. Quite another to not even have the chance to show the world you have no chance. ESPN has since made a correction, but they probably had it right the first time. [HardballTalk]...
"Cut Back To A Wide Shot. Open The Skull": The <em>Faces Of Death</em> Guy Looks Back
John Alan Schwartz was on a California beach, trying to capture something life-affirming on camera. Or something that at least would contrast with death. He had a woman and a baby in a hot tub.

Stephen A. Smith Did America A Favor And Flipped Skip Bayless The Bird

Dear Brian Cashman, I Am Wearing Your Pajama Pants In Your Mistress's Living Room

Charles Oakley And Anthony Mason Had Some Profane Opinions On Those Awful Raptors Jerseys
Flash back to the '95-96 season, when the Toronto Raptors entered the NBA wearing their cartoon dinosaur jersey. (It's incredible that this was only 16 years ago, and someone thought these were okay.

Here's Aston Villa's Ridiculous Own Goal That Put QPR Up 2-0
It's been another mediocre season for Aston Villa, and no play may characterize the struggles of the claret and blue squad than this play, in which Stephen Warnock cleanly lands a header directly into his own net.

Internet Correction: Ice Cube's "Good Day" Was Actually Nov. 30, 1988
When a blogger attempted to identify the exact date rapped about in Ice Cube's "It Was A Good Day," using only clues from the song, we were impressed. But a few things didn't add up about the January 20, 1992 date arrived upon. Was the Goodyear Blimp grounded that day? Did it rain in South Central...
Tim Thomas Has Not Voted Since 2004
